Aged for 12 months in oak barrels, this magnificent 2018 vintage has a deep color streaked with ruby highlights. The nose is open, expressing black and red fruits accompanied by subtle oak notes. Enveloped in crisp fruitiness, the palate is very long, full-bodied, fleshy, and warm, supported by silky tannins and underscored by a pleasant freshness. A very accomplished balance.

About the estate:
Bordeaux or Bordeaux Supérieur, red, white, or rosé, Éric Duffau brilliantly vinifies regional AOC wines. In 1979, he took over the family estate located in Entre-deux-Mers, on the left bank of the Dordogne River. His 46-hectare vineyard is mainly located on hillsides facing Saint-Émilion.

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.
