Château L'Evêché, a Grand Cru in Saint-Emilion, also owns nearly 6 hectares of Bordeaux appellation vines on the hillsides on the other bank of the Dordogne, in Nérigean and Pujols, where this Origami cuvée is produced: a wine of pure pleasure, tasty, silky and well-balanced, with surprising value for money. A great success !

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2016 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
This cru de poupée by François Janoueix has two parcels located in the Beauregard and Cheval Blanc west sectors. The soil is composed of gravel and ancient sands, and the vines are in their fifties.

I had a problem when I opened it, with only half the cork coming out. Bordeau average to correct, I expected perhaps a little better but for the value for money it's honorable. I hesitated between 2/5 and 3/5 but the cork problem made me give it 2/5.

A pleasant wine to drink, unpretentious but with good structure. Tasted in spring 2012.
