Drink or Keep
Château Le Thil has a vineyard of some twenty hectares classified as A.O.C. Pessac-Léognan. Fourteen of these are devoted to the cuvée Les Reflets, produced on gravelly soil. A wine with fruity aromas (cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant) and floral notes (violet, lilac). A hint of toast accompanies the peppery, vanilla notes. A cuvée well in tune with the times!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
In 2012, Florence and Daniel Cathiard acquired the 12 hectares of Thil Comte Clary, adjoining their classified growth Smith Haut-Lafitte: three hectares of white, with equal proportions of Sauvignon and Semillon, and almost nine hectares of red, with a very high proportion of Merlot. Today, this property benefits from the expertise of the Smith team. The wines are refined, charming and perfectly balanced.
