Unfortunately, Gaëtan Lagneaux did not have the pleasure of discovering this admirable wine, which pays superb tribute to his work. The deep, dark color of this 2012 sets the tone for the tasting: elegance and intensity. The bouquet, equally distinguished, reveals sustained aromas of ripe black and red fruits beneath a high-quality woody cover (clove, cinnamon, toasted bread). Full-bodied, fleshy, dense and very fruity, the palate is all about restrained power, backed by silky tannins and a fine acidity that stretches the wine into a finish of rare length, generous and spicy. A great Pauillac for aging. " (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
This discreet 14-hectare château, located in the immediate vicinity of Haut-Marbuzet, on the same plateau, offers a fine representation of the terroirs of Saint-Estèphe. However, the high proportion of Merlot in the blends gives the wine a deliberately charming and flattering style.
