"Very fine, it exudes class! ~ Vinous "
"Garnet-red with light purple highlights. Refreshing, fruity bouquet of good intensity, marked by raspberries, prunes and a hint of cinnamon. Crisp and creamy on the palate. Beautiful symbiosis between structure and tannins. The tannins are fine-grained and offer good fullness on the whole palate. I'm curious to follow this wine over time, but it's already very convincing. Bravo." (Yves Beck 2018)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2016 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
In 1998, Bordeaux wine merchant Patrick Bernard (Millésima) bought this 49-hectare vineyard in the commune of Saint-Sauveur, part of which extends into Pauillac and produces the cuvée fleur-peyrabon.
Decanter
Rated wine (guide 2021) 90/100
About the wine:
Crafted from serious Cabernet Sauvignon, this blend bursts at the seams with rich, ripe black fruit aromas. It has strong structural support from grippy, energetic tannins that are well balanced by lively acidity, engaging textures and a lingering finish. 2023- 2038
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated wine (guide 2021 ) 91/100
Domaine noté (guide 2016) 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:
Accessible, with lovely tannins and a tender texture, it can be drunk calmly without any urgency.
About the domain :
Owned by wine merchant Patrick Bernard (Millésima), Peyrabon produces two cuvées. The first, in Haut-Médoc, is easily accessible and can be kept for a long time. The second, Fleur de Peyrabon, comes from well-situated vines in Pauillac (4 ha), but the extraction and ageing sometimes give it a slightly dry character. The wines are well-balanced and offer good value for money.
Wine Enthusiast
Rated wine (2019 guide) 91/100
About the wine:
With its high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine reveals good structure and ripe, generous blackcurrant flavors. Its fresh character gives it a juiciness that contrasts with the richness of the fruit. A tannic wine with good ageing potential. Drink from 2023.
Vinous A. Galloni
Rated wine (2018 guide) 91/100
About the wine:
Peyrabon 2016 offers a finely precise bouquet of blackberries, raspberries, crushed flowers and minerals. It exudes class. The palate is well balanced with fine-grained tannins, one of the saltiest Crus Bourgeois with notes of oyster shell and spice on the balanced, bold finish. Very fine. Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois tasting in London. 2020-2034
James Suckling
Rated wine (guide 2021) 90/100
About the wine:
Aromas of blackcurrant, tea leaf, mocha and a little praline. Medium- to full-bodied, with firm, tight tannins. Tasty and structured. Drink from 2022.

About the wine:
Garnet-red with light violet highlights. Refreshing, fruity bouquet of good intensity, marked by raspberries, prunes and a hint of cinnamon. Crisp and creamy on the palate. Beautiful symbiosis between structure and tannins. The tannins are fine-grained and offer good fullness on the whole palate. I'm curious to follow this wine over time, but it's already very convincing. Well done. 2022-2036
