James Suckling

A refined, classic Pauillac with cassis, pencil shavings, ash and cherries. Juicy and really fine on the palate with silky tannins unwound into a layered, long finish. A refined, elegant interpretation that does not fall short on intensity. Real finesse here. Already delicious, but can hold, too.

Very elegant with persistence and convincing length.

La Revue du Vin de France

We commend the consistency of the vintage and its very classic style, without austerity. This 2021 is not overly expressive and delivers a refined bouquet, with notes of fruit, cedar, and flowers. The palate is precise, full of sap, and ends on a delightful, indulgent note. A very beautiful success.

Decanter

A pretty and fragranced nose, then a sense of true classicism with bright, shining acidity underpinning crushed-velvet tannins and undertones of cola, liquorice and cool blue fruit. Slightly lean but also with lots of Cabernet characters supporting the frame – good weight and focus, with drive. Quite linear and straight, but this works and makes you come back for more.
