"Easy to drink, well made, nothing out of place, it's really enjoyable! ~ Decanter "

"Fresh, lively nose of red and black fruits, summer berries. Bright and fun, succulent, but in a really calm, controlled way, with mouthwatering acidity, but very well balanced by salty, just grippy tannins. Easy to drink, well made, nothing out of place, it's all nice and easy, with fresh fruit, firm tannins and a stony touch that gives freshness. Not elegant, but simple and well-crafted. Slightly spicy on the finish. There's still some strength under the acidity". (Decanter 2023)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

Immediately adjacent to Giscours and Siran in terms of the location of its vineyards, this fifth growth classified in 1855 had belonged since 1988 to MAIF, which sold it in early 2019 to the Breton Samsic group, headed by Christian Roulleau. The remarkable technical team remains in place around Philippe Roux and Laurent Fortin, setting an example in many respects; they have made major efforts to renovate the premises, with great respect for the environment, and to modernize the technical buildings, complemented by a level of viticulture and vinification that we'd like to see more of. The latest vintages have produced complete wines, acclaimed by the critics: a powerful, harmonious grand vin and two second wines, aurore, close to the style of the first, and la-bastide, more supple.

About the domain :

After its glory days in the 19th century, this cru fell into lethargy in the first half of the 20th century, before being reborn thanks to the Miailhe family, who came from Siran, the Châtelier family, who arrived from Champagne, and finally, in 1989, to MAIF, who entrusted management to André Lurton in 1992. The latter's daughter, Christine Lurton Bazin de Caix, ran the estate between 2005 and 2013. Laurent Fortin replaced her, and in 2014 André Lurton sold his stake to MAIF. The vineyard covers 45 hectares in a single block.

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

The cru has been solidly in the running for several vintages now. Laurent Fortin, the cru's director since 2014, is multiplying initiatives, experimenting and expanding the range. He has succeeded in giving new impetus to the cru, which is now classed as a sure bet. Now in the hands of the Roulleau family, the cru is set to make further progress, with a highly advanced approach to vine cultivation.

About the wine:

This fresh, fruity wine is produced by the same team as Château Dauzac in Margaux. It reveals aromas of red fruits and spices, light tannins and acidity on the finish. Drink now or age until 2025. Suitable for vegans. - Roger Voss
