" Good body, without harshness, but less round and seductive than the 2009. On the other hand, this is a fine right bank identity" (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France). Le Manoir is an old medieval building at the top of a valley. Vinified with precision, using measured extractions, the optimal raw material yields a great wine, with bright fruit, smooth flesh and racy tannins. Discover it for yourself!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2013 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
Good body, without harshness, but with a less rounded and seductive character than the 2009. On the other hand, this is a fine right bank identity!
Wine Spectator
Wine rated (2013 guide) 90/100 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
Polished and approachable, with deliciously creamy plum, blackcurrant and blueberry fruit and lightly toasted anise nuances, it offers a caressing finish, remarkable depth and good length. It will gain in richness and vivacity with brief cellaring.
