Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
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 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.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 08/08/2022
No fewer than six grape varieties, 20 days of maceration and over eleven months of ageing produce an unclassifiable, full-bodied IGP of great richness, combining intense fruit (blueberry, black cherry, blackcurrant) with subtle notes of wood, cocoa, caramel, roasting, vanilla and sweet spices. The palate is round and deep, structured around powerful, almost creamy tannins of astonishing finesse. The finish is deep, ample and very harmonious. It's a real feat in aromatic terms alone! Also a fine illustration of the modernity of a wine rooted in its Languedoc terroir, combined with the tradition and classicism of Bordeaux. Pair with a fine rib of Fleur d'Aubrac beef with garrigue herbs, cooked on vine shoots. Score 4.4.
