RVF 18,5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 18/20, Robert Parker 92/100
"Right from its first vintage, 2006, this wine establishes its personality: richly aromatic, with a perfume of violets that is indeed very present, opulent and savory, endowed with fine tannins". (Grand guide des vins de France - Bettane & Desseauve)

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (2009 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
"This small estate of just over 3 hectares, admirably situated in the heart of the Pomerol plateau, not far from the church, had for a long time produced unremarkable wines. That changed in 2006, when Catherine Péré-Vergé bought it. Vinification, under the guidance of Michel Rolland, is meticulous: the grapes are de-stemmed by hand, and all the wine is vinified in barrels. The result is a haute couture wine, whose production is unfortunately limited to 5,000 bottles.
