Quotations
Guide Dusser-Gerber 2018, 3 ♥ : «Full-bodied and rich in color and structure, a subtle nose of stone fruit.»
Guide Gilbert & Gaillard, 86/100 : «Purple color with ruby highlights. Smoked roasted nose on a background of ripe berries. A clean, precise fruit, highlighted by a subtle empyreumatic touch and polished tannins. Chews, holding, balance, stretch, all without excess. Good Bordeaux.»
Guide Hachette des Vins 2019 1* : «This Bordeaux is immediately affirmed with its flavors of strawberry, black cherry, menthol, spices and toasted. The palate, dominated by fruit, offers volume and density, supported by silky tannins and well-seasoned oak.»
RVF n° 639, 16/20 : «Also having two properties in Pessac-Léognan, the Savigneux family offers here a cuvée mainly of Merlot, very fruity and elegant. The tension brings freshness and airy finish. A very good quality / price ratio.»

Quotations
Guide Hachette des Vins 2020 1 *: “This cuvee immediately seduced the jury with its deep robe and complex nose dominated by notes of red fruits and toast, which also offers minty notes. The mouth, long, warm and full, ends with vanilla tannins. To wait a few months so that the breeding is based. “
Decanter 2019 – 89 : « Nice notes of ripe plum and blackcurrant, one of the best wines of the 2017 vintage in the Bordeaux AOC category. I like the wine’s svelte grip and its more clearly ripe profile. Good wine and highly recommended for restaurants looking for an elegant Bordeaux at the most economical price. »
Guide Dussert-Gerber 2021 5♥: « Aged for 6 months in oak barrels, it is rich in aromas, with notes of fruit, cinnamon and humus, very balanced on the nose and on the palate, served by a beautiful structure, very promising.»

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.»
