"With a beautiful hold in the mouth, with well-defined tannins, and giving an elegant finish, the 2014 red is a balanced and quite fine wine that will evolve nicely over five years."

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated 15/20 (Very good wine)

Domain rated (guide 2021) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the wine:

Lovely nose of ripe red fruit, smoky, spicy notes and great minerality, melting palate with ripe tannins, persistent aromas and freshness. Balanced, well-made, elegant.

About the domain :

In the heart of Léognan, this beautiful 75-hectare estate was bought in 1987 by Philippe Gervoson, also head of the Andros company. It produces modern-style wines, with flattering, vinous reds, while the whites have become much more full-bodied and precise. The arrival of Bruno Lemoine as managing director in 2007, winemaker of the famous 1990 Montrose (among others), has enabled the cru to assert even more personality. The reds are undeniably charming but not without elegance, and have great ageing potential. The whites, in much the same vein, are aromatically exuberant, powerful and endowed with incredible personality. A sure bet for the appellation.

About the wine:

Smoky, licorice, black fruits, the nose remains elegant. Round, supple and fruity on the palate, with medium body and an airy finish.

Rated (2018 guide) 15.5/20 (Good wine)

Domaine rated (2022 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

With a fine mouthfeel, well-defined tannins and an elegant finish, the 2014 red is a well-balanced, fairly fine wine that will evolve nicely over five years.

About the domain :

Owned by the Gervoson family (Andros Group), this estate consistently produces pleasant, accessible wines, distinguished by their aromatic exuberance. Boasting a beautiful terroir on the heights of Léognan, not far from Haut-Bailly and La Louvière, the cru also benefits from modern winemaking facilities with a brand-new concrete vat room. Bruno Lemoine, director since 2007, and François Gaudichon, cellar master since 2015, bring an extra degree of precision to the stylistic definition of the wines.
