"An expressive bouquet of dark berries and graphite exhales on the nose with a saline nuance. Fleshy and full-bodied, with firm, silky tannins and a juicy, fruity finish. Rich finish. This wine continues to offer excellent value for money. A promising wine" (James Suckling 2019) A real success !

The estate has been run since 1983 by Richard Mestreguilhem, who was joined in 2014 by his son Jean, an agricultural engineer, who is now in charge of technical management.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (2017 guide) 87-89/100 (Good wine)
About the wine:
The 2016 Pipeau has a very pure, well-defined bouquet of red cherries and hints of blueberry. The medium-bodied palate has supple tannins, well-gauged acidity, a little oak at the moment but a texture so smooth you won't be able to resist. This is a well-crafted and delicious follow-up to the excellent 2015.

Very good wine, full-bodied with silky tannins. Good expression of Saint Emilion. Should be left to age, in my opinion, so that it "softens" a little.
