Notes : Robert Parker 87-90/100, Jancis Robinson 16/20, Jean-Marc Quarin 87/100
"Another fine opus from Puygueraud (the birthplace of the Thienpont family), the 2011 offers a dense blue/purple color accompanied by abundant aromas of blueberry, blackberry, charcoal and graphite. Clearly superior to its modest pedigree, this revelation of the vintage possesses good structure, beautifully pure fruit and decade-long drinkability."

Expert opinion
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the domain :
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Estate rated (2014 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 :
"The Thienpont family, who have owned the estate since 1946, have revived the Côtes de Francs appellation with this first-rate cru since 1983. Nicolas Thienpont, who is also responsible for a premier cru classé in Saint-Emilion, produces a full-bodied, generous wine, with controlled oak, designed for honest cellaring (five to ten years). The estate is regular and the vintages of good quality. In homage to his father George, Nicolas Thienpont has created a cuvée with the eponymous name, marked by malbec, a grape variety he particularly appreciated. A wine of strong character, but not without finesse".
