Notes : Robert Parker 91/100, RVF 15,5/20
"This is what you'd expect from proprietor Yves Vatelot, the 2005 Reignac Blanc is superb, exhibiting aromas of honeysuckle, lemon, buttery notes with a touch of smoky oak..." (Robert Parker). In both white and red, the cuvée Grand Vin de Reignac meets the demands of the wine-lover, blending expressions of Sauvignon, Semillon and Muscadelle. A great bottle to discover!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve

About the domain :
Yves and Stéphanie Vatelot belong to a generation of entrepreneurs who became winegrowers some twenty years ago. They have greatly enhanced the potential of this estate, both in the vineyard and in the cellars. Advised by Michel Rolland, they produce red and white wines of exemplary quality and consistency, ranking them among the appellation's leaders.

About the domain :
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine noté (guide 2023) 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 :
Yves and Stéphanie Vatelot celebrated 30 years at the helm of Reignac this year. From the outset, the couple have invested heavily in positioning their superior Bordeaux wines at the highest level, following the advice of Michel Roland. With the arrival of director Nicolas Lesaint in 2009, the growing methods have evolved towards organic methods. This work is beginning to show in the wines, despite the still intrusive ageing process. Extractions are more precise, thanks to the six small truncated-cone vats, which are adapted to each plot of land.
