Note: Bettane & Desseauve 16/20
"A wine of great intensity combining power and elegance, beautiful sap and greedy fruit, discreet oak, precise ripeness with lots of substance and long persistence on freshness. A very fine bottle". (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2012)

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Estate rated (2012 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
"Merlot, which largely dominates (90%) this vineyard with its very low yields, gives the Jonqueyres wines a very pure fruitiness and a true harmony, without asperity. The estate - which also operates Clos Alphonse Dubreuil in Côtes de Bourg - is perfectly managed, with a fine heritage of old vines. The latest vintages impress with their tannic depth. They are at their best when young. Château Les Jonqueyres is currently undergoing organic conversion. We have awarded it its first star.
