Estate rated (2017 guide) Recommended
About the domain :
People turned away from Bordeaux at that time, but with Parker's influence waning, there's a move back towards fresher, fruitier, finer, less oaky, elegant wines, with more tempered extraction and greater drinkability. I think this is the future of Bordeaux. Among his Favorites, is Château le Coteau, created by Eric Leglise, a margaux with finesse, a true terroir wine.
