Robert Parker
"Aged in amphora and concrete, the white crunches deliciously under tender, slightly chalky fruit on fine, delicious matter. Beautifully constructed." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2022 - RVF). Fruity, with hints of wood, tobacco and spice. Long, balanced, deep, with sweet spices and a little acidity, it's a perfect harmony!

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (2020 guide) 87-89/100 (Good wine)
Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Reignac 2019 Blanc opens with notes of white pepper, dill seed and fresh hay over a core of lemon tart and Golden Delicious apples. Medium-bodied, the palate is refreshingly simple, offering good intensity of spiced apple flavors and a savory finish.
About the domain :
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (guide 2022) 14.5/20 (Good wine)
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 wine:
Aged in amphora and concrete, the white deliciously crunches under tender, slightly chalky fruit on fine, delicious matter. Beautifully constructed.
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 used to match the plot of land.
