RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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.
