“We can attest that it is one of the longest-standing in the area and its products contributed substantially in the past to building the reputation in France and abroad of Medoc wines. When sent to England at the end of the 17th century, they commanded a price of 400 French livres for a 900-litre barrel and more.”

Colour: Very dark ruby, nice brilliance, purple hints. Nose: Nice bouquet, mixing black berries, vanilla and a pretty toasty. Really more dense after aeration. Mouth: Pulpy wine, fruit forward style. Very well balanced ; complex. Superb volume & concentration. Still very young though its already excellent. Rich wine, opulent, exotic & flamboyant

Decanter – Highly Recommended – score 17/20 …The nose is echoed on the palate with big yet approachable tannins.

Jancis Robinson – score16/20 …a very good drink…

The Wine Advocate – Robert Parker – score 88-90 … undoubtedly the finest wine ever made at this estate…
