Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

Owned since 1956 by the endearing Perrin family, this great classic of the Pessac-Léognan appellation seduces both by its volume of production, especially in white, and by the consistency and typicity of its style. The very pale whites are fresh, lively and superbly fine, but since 2009, they have gained in richness of constitution. The reds have gained enormously in power and density, and rival the very best.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 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 :

Brothers Éric and Philibert Perrin, along with their sister Christine Lescuyer, continue to drive forward this important estate, which in the space of a decade has evolved considerably, producing delicious wine with great consistency. The new generation is arriving, and the 2019 vintage has been brilliantly vinified by young Andréa Perrin. Elegant and refreshing, the whites have gained in expressivity while becoming fatter in the middle palate. They won't age forever, and we advise you to enjoy them within the first five years after bottling. However, a few great years can reserve magical surprises for aging. The reds, serious and regular, although often austere in their youth, have also gained in body density. They never taste as well as between five and ten years old. The vineyard is continuing its restructuring program, replacing Sauvignon Blanc on the fine gravel terroirs with Cabernet Sauvignon.
