Wine rated (2021 guide) 14,5/20 (Good wine)

Rated estate (2022 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)

About the estate:

Éric Duffau demonstrates that Bordeaux grape varieties harvested at the right maturity, carefully vinified and aged soberly, produce impeccable wines at an excellent price point in all three colors. The clay soils on limestone bases, located mainly in Génissac and Moulon, impart all their flavors to the wines, but slightly excessive oak can mask the spontaneity of the fruit.
