"Characterful bouquet, well inspired by its terroir, with chalky nuances as well as blueberry and blackberry notes, followed by tobacco leaves. Juicy character on the palate, with chalky notes. The wine is racy, lively and well supported by its acid structure and perfectly integrated tannins. What energy and precision in this wine. A great success. (Yves Beck 2020)

Château Cap Saint-George
Saint-Georges Saint-Emilion
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
From the terrace of Cap Saint Georges, you can overlook the 19 hectares that make up Jean-Philippe Janoueix's estate. The vines run right up to the low stone walls in perfect alignment, underlined by their south-facing aspect. The first vintages from this new estate are full-bodied and spicy.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
About the wine:
A sunny wine with an intense ruby color, its nose combines stimulating spice notes with opulent fruit. The palate, with its fine tannins, prolongs these flavors with great persistence. A harmonious whole.
About the domain :
Son of Jean-François Janoueix, Jean-Philippe Janoueix first settled in Lalande before creating Château La Confession in 2001 in the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, a merger of Châteaux Haut-Pontet (now a second wine) and Barreau. He also produces saint-georges-saint-émilion, pomerol and bordeaux supérieur.
Wine Enthusiast
Rated wine (guide 2021) 90/100
About the wine:
From a village north of Saint-Émilion, this wine with its chocolate and black fruit aromas is young, dense and firm with tannins. A succulent rim promises the future of this powerful blend with its 86% Merlot. Drink from 2023.

Rated wine (guide 2021) 90/100
About the wine:
Round, soft and fruity, the wine offers layers of rich ripe fruit with a touch of mineral, espresso and licorice that makes it more interesting. Already approachable, it will drink well in its youth.
