"Dark red with intense cherry highlights, this is an engaging wine. The bouquet, as powerful as it is pleasing, blends red fruits with spices and cocoa. Ample, dense and well-balanced, the palate reveals a solid structure, a guarantee of good ageing."

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 14/20 (Good wine)
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 wine:
This light-style Pauillac is supple and elegant, with lovely fruit. The oak still needs to mellow a little.
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.

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Wine rated (2015 guide) 14.5/20 (Good)
About the wine:
What straightforwardness! This wine needs time to melt into its intense, tannic robe. The material needs to free itself, its fruity (plum), spicy (cumin) fugueur will harmonize over time.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rated (2014 guide) 87/100 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
One of the few Cru Bourgeois in the Pauillac appellation, this wine reveals an intense ruby/plum color and a sweet bouquet of black cherries and cassis. Good acidity, ripe tannins. This is a fine Cru Bourgeois to enjoy over the next decade.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (2016 guide) 15.5/20 (Good wine)
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:
In 2011, La Fleur Peyrabon reveals juicy fruitiness and smooth tannins.
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.
