" The 2015 vintage will be one of the estate's greatest successes. Its distinguished wine, the precision of its aging, and the quality of its tannins will allow it to age for at least twenty years. " (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2018 - RVF). Don't focus on its appellation; this Bordeaux Supérieur rivals the greatest Bordeaux crus classés in blind tastings.

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2018 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2023 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)

About wine:

Harmonious nose, expressing ripe fruit, subtle smoky oak, notes of eucalyptus and freesia, warm and deep on the palate, with fruit, solid tannins that will need to soften, and freshness.

About the estate:

Yves and Stéphanie Vatelot belong to a generation of business leaders who became winemakers 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 leaders of the appellation.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 89/100 (Very good wine)

Rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About wine:

The 2015 Reignac is deep purple-garnet in color with a pronounced nose of black plums, blackcurrants, and black forest, with hints of pencil shavings and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, firm and muscular with a textured, chewy backbone, it finishes long with earthy notes.

Rated estate (2023 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)

About wine:

The 2015 vintage will be one of the estate's finest achievements. Its distinguished wine, the precision of its aging, and the quality of its tannins will allow it to age for at least twenty years.

About the estate:

Yves and Stéphanie Vatelot celebrated 30 years at the helm of Reignac this year. From the outset, the couple has invested heavily in positioning their Bordeaux wines at the highest level, following the advice of Michel Roland. With the arrival of director Nicolas Lesaint in 2009, cultivation methods have evolved to become more organic. This work is beginning to show in the wines, despite a still intrusive aging process. Extractions are more precise thanks to six small truncated cone vats that allow for parcel-by-parcel processing.

Wine rated (2019 guide) 16,5/20

About wine:

This wine and Yves Vatelot have been the subject of much discussion in the past, whether as a young vintage or one aged for around ten years. With a black color, the nose is powerful and complex. The wine is dense and charming, with a rich texture that will require several years to mellow. Undoubtedly a great wine.
