Wine Spectator
"A must-see for any fan of the Right Bank!"
"Dark, ripe plums, sweet spices, blue flowers, and dry earth. It is medium-bodied, with fine, bright tannins and sumptuous blue fruit on the mid-palate. It is polished and restrained, with a lingering finish." (James Suckling 2023)

About the estate:
A sure bet in the appellation, this estate located at the foot of the Saint-Laurent valleys became part of the Mestreguilhem family in 1929. The 7 hectares at the time have now grown to 26. The property has been run since 1983 by Richard Mestreguilhem, joined in 2014 by his son Jean, an agricultural engineer, who is now in charge of technical management.
Wine Spectator
Wine rated (2023 guide) 91/100 (Exceptional wine)
About wine:
Seductive, with a warm mocha note on the nose, followed by flavors of slightly cooked blackberry and plum. Velvety on the palate, with hints of bitter cocoa and licorice root on the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2030.
