"Superb nose, very pure, powerful bright fruit, menthol, eucalyptus flower, and tobacco, tasty palate, voluminous, very fruity, with vigorous tannins and beautiful length. Lots of character. (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins 2019) Very fine parcel selection revealing a powerful, racy Bordeaux Supérieur. A great estate wine!

Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
A vast 92-hectare vineyard in the Entre-deux-Mers region, founded in 1920 by the great-grandparents. Its assets: a state-of-the-art winery completed in 2016 and the complementary skills of Christophe Vincent (in the vines) and Fabien (in the winery). Saint-Vincent inspires them, they say, but it's their advanced technical training and exacting standards that make this estate a benchmark in Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur.
