Markus Del Monego – Mars 2023 – 94pts
Darkpurple colour with violet hue and black core. Rich nose with expressive aroma reminiscent of dark chocolate, mocha and fine toasting, balmy spices backed by ripe lackberries, blackberry jam, plum compote and discreet floral hints. On the palate well structured and balanced with freshness, ripe tannins, elegant mid-palate and excellent length.

Black core with purple rim. Really fragrant and open, seems to show the 20% stems as much in the aroma as on the palate. Lovely freshness and refinement, especially in the finest of tannins. Elegant already. Cool and fresh but with more to come.

Silky, elegant, pure, fresh, and medium-bodied, the sweet, dark, red, and black fruits are vibrant, polished, refined, long, and pure in the nose, and on the palate. Drink from 2025-2040.

Really refined and focused with blackberry, blueberry and crushed stone. Medium-bodied with class and tension. Racy.

Ma meilleure note donnée à ce cru en Primeur – Outsider Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, pur, à la fois mûr et frais. Ample dès l’entrée en bouche, fondant au milieu, très aromatique, juteux, sans cesse accompagné par un gras fin, la construction est remarquable. Le vin laisse parler la […]

Bright violet-tinged plum colour, vivid berry fruit on the opening, with velvety texture that you really see and feel in the glass. Impressive, this has great quality and personality, with crunchy red fruit fruit that has juice without sacrifcing depth and complexity. Stands out in the appellation. Tasted twice, excellent both times. Hubert de Boüard […]

Le nez est fruité, épicé, puissant et racé. On y retrouve des notes de mûre de Boysen, de cassis et plus légèrement de poivre associées à des touches de violette, de petits fruits bleus sauvages ainsi qu’à des pointes de camphre, à une discrète pointe de torréfaction ainsi qu’à une discrète pointe de sens de […]
In Wino Wine (Marie Roginska) – Mai 2023 –
Coup de Coeur : Le terroir et la mosaïque de cépages sont très propices à affronter les caprices plus en plus fréquents de la météo d’ajourd’hui. En effet, grâce à son assemblage unique, le vin a beaucoup de caractère en gardant le soyeux et l’élégance de Merlot, avec sa fraicheur et sa belle acidité. Sa […]

six different bordeaux varieties planted here! Bright crimson. Quite a broad spread of interesting flavours on the nose. Sweet, almost sickly, start to the palate and some fairly light tannins on the end. Medium persistence. Juicy, transparent but not that dense a wine considering the vintage potential.
Colin Hay – Mai 2023 – 92-94 pts
This has pleasing graphite and pencil-shaving notes alongside the dark berry and stone fruit; quite saline in its minerality. A hint of the cedar to come and a lovely wild heathery note. Fresh and softly textured, but with a fully charged, compact and energetic core of crushed ripe berry fruit – a little cherry skin […]
