About the domain :
Whether Bordeaux or Bordeaux Supérieur, red, white or rosé, Éric Duffau is a master at making regional AOC wines. In 1979, he took over the family estate in Entre-deux-Mers, on the left bank of the Dordogne. His 46-hectare vineyard is mostly located on hillsides facing Saint-Émilion.
Concours Vins de Bordeaux

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (guide 2021) 14.5/20 (Good wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Éric Duffau demonstrates that Bordeaux grape varieties harvested at the right time of ripeness, vinified with care and aged soberly, produce irreproachable vintages at excellent prices in all three colors. The clay terroirs on limestone bedrock, located mainly in Génissac and Moulon, bring out the full flavor of the cuvées, but excessive oakiness can mask the spontaneity of the fruit.
