Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 15.5/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the wine:
A tasty, voluminous, harmonious cuvée. Great complexity on the nose, with ripe fruit, elegant oak, licorice, eucalyptus and tar. Dense on the palate, with a tight structure, persistent aromas and a long, fresh finish. Great potential.
About the domain :
Creisses refers to pebbles. Philippe Chesnelong took over this family estate in 1990. He is assisted by his cousin Louis Mitjaville, whose reputation has spread far beyond Saint-Émilion. The cuvée les-brunes is generally powerful, while the more immediate cuvée des creisses explodes with flavor. A truly fine address.
