Wine rated 14.5/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About wine:
Powerful aromas of black fruit, licorice, and violet, fairly pronounced oak, generous and very warm on the palate, with tight tannins that will need to soften, good length, and potential.
About the estate:
This discreet 14-hectare château, located in the immediate vicinity of Haut-Marbuzet, on the same plateau, offers a fine representation of the terroirs of Saint-Estèphe. However, the high proportion of Merlot in the blends gives the wine a deliberately charming and flattering style.

Rated wine (2018 guide) Cité (Successful wine)
About wine:
Still dominated by oak, this wine is nonetheless interesting thanks to its expressive bouquet with notes of vanilla and roasted coffee (mocha), which give way to hints of tart fruit. On the palate, lively tannins and a finish of wild berries and spices indicate good potential.

Wine rated (2017 guide) 15,5/20 (Good wine)
About wine:
Very dense and structured, with a woodiness that still coats it slightly but which the substance will absorb, the 2014 is a solid long-distance runner.
