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

About the estate:
From the terrace at Cap Saint Georges, you can see all 19 hectares of Jean-Philippe Janoueix's property. The vines run right up to the stone walls in perfect alignment, which is emphasized by the south-facing orientation. The first vintages from this new property are full-bodied and spicy.

About wine:
A sunny wine with an intense ruby color, whose aroma combines stimulating notes of spice with opulent fruitiness. The palate, with its fine tannins, prolongs these flavors with a beautiful persistence. A harmonious whole.
About the estate:
Son of Jean-François Janoueix, Jean-Philippe Janoueix first settled in Lalande before creating Château La Confession in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru in 2001, a combination of Château Haut-Pontet (now a second wine) and Château Barreau. He also produces Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, and Bordeaux Supérieur.

About wine:
From a village north of Saint-Émilion, this wine with aromas of chocolate and black fruits is young, dense, and firm with tannins. A succulent finish promises a bright future for this powerful blend with 86% Merlot. Drink from 2023 onwards.

About wine:
Round, smooth, and fruity, this wine offers layers of rich ripe fruit with a hint of mineral, espresso, and licorice that makes it more interesting. Already accessible, it will drink well in its youth.
