Quotations
Guide Hachette des Vins 2020 1* : « A bouquet with generous scents of vanilla and toasted bread opens the tasting. In the mouth, the tannins are well integrated and leave a pleasant sensation of roundness and smoothness. We can already appreciate it. »
Decanter 2020 – 90/100 Highly Recommended : « An enchanting nose of brambly red berry, juicy plum and hints of oak-derived spice greet the taster, followed through with a rich palate of ripe red and black fruit, overlaid by a touch of eau-de-vie, displaying vintage warmth. A solar year, but I like the balance.»

Guide Hachette des Vins 2025 1* : « Vinified without added sulfites, this blend of Merlot and Cabernets in equal parts achieves a good balance between structure, density, volume, and smoothness, with fruity notes and oak aging. A fine representative of Bordeaux, already ready to drink. »
