Bordeaux

Sold individually
Drink or Keep
The château's second wine is an elegant Bordeaux Supérieur, evoking subtle notes of black fruit on the nose. On the palate, it offers a fine structure with silky tannins, length and a spicy finish. Drink now with a fine piece of red meat, for example...

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
For the past half-decade, this Entre-Deux-Mers cru has been seducing visitors with its generous wines, expressive fruitiness and toasty woodiness.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
From his family's right-bank vineyard in Vérac, near Fronsac, Hervé Lhuillier has created a true brand of Bordeaux Supérieur, whose fundamentals are depth, authenticity and careful oakiness. New vines of Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot, planted on outcropping limestone (the quarries are open to visitors), will soon go into production. While the densimetric sorting machine has brought greater precision to 2018, we're still thirsty about the somewhat cartoonish extractions and ageing. Let's give the wines time to settle before considering removing the star.
