Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2017 guide) 15.5/20 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
Mahogany-colored, the bouquet explodes with cooked fruit and red berries aromas, a beautifully digestible, well-balanced wine.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2017 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
The woody flavors fade to leave a beautiful liqueur (90% Semillon with a touch of Muscadelle) that is suave, rich and comforting, with a touch of oxidation.
About the domain :
When Jean-Mary and Catherine Le Bihan took over the family farm, they opted for the Duras hillsides. And they were right to do so, as they have raised the estate to one of the best in the South-West. In this appellation, which is struggling to emerge, this estate, using a common grape variety, produces original cuvées, pleasant to drink young or made for ageing, such as the superb Perrette et les Noisetiers 2014, tasted in magnum. Clémence, one of their daughters, has joined them.
