"A full-bodied, chewy 2017. The one-year barrel ageing has left its mark on the vanilla and toasted aromas, as well as on the still assertive expression of the tannins. The minty freshness is a welcome originality". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Founded in 1902 by Hubert Dousseau, the estate is now run by two sisters with very complementary characters: Corinne, in charge of the vines and the winery, and Brigitte, in charge of administration (and ducks, for which she makes excellent preparations). As the estate has grown over the years, and now covers 23 hectares, the winery has followed suit, consisting today of a series of rooms, but equipped with modern facilities. The proof: in 2019, they should be awarded the HVE3 label.

About the wine:
A full-bodied, chewy 2017. One year's barrel ageing has left its mark on the vanilla and toasted aromas, as well as on the still assertive expression of the tannins. The minty freshness is a welcome originality.
About the domain :
In 1902, Hubert Dousseau acquired the estate. Since 1995, Brigitte and Corinne, his great-granddaughters, have managed a 22-hectare vineyard. They have converted a small Gascon house in the heart of the vineyards into a gîte, and offer not only wine, but also foies gras, confits and duck breasts.

Note and review by M. SEBASTIEN B. Published on 19/12/2021
Exuberant on opening, it becomes heady at the beginning of the second glass, and downright indigestible beyond that. I'm not sure what to make of this wine.
