Review Date: 05/2023Lots of crushed stone with blueberry and blackberry character. Some cedar. Full and juicy with a citrus undertone to it all that gives an attractive tangy undertone. Try after 2026.

This sophisticated wine is a fine blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Its structure and black fruits, both still young, are impressive and full of potential. With its balance and style, the wine is going to age well. Drink from 2026. *Cellar Selection* (RV)

Deep purple-black color, the 2020 de France opens with classic cassis, ripe black plums and graphite scents, plus touches of bay leaves and fertile loam. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with juicy black fruits, supported by soft tannins and a lively backbone, finishing with a peppery kick. (LPB)

Coffee, cocoa and black chocolate, savoury but well balanced by dark fruits. Has a ton of personality, a little austere and not overly seductive for sure, but will soften and the tannins are bouncy rather than bitter. Enjoyable, spicy because of the concentration on the finish. A yield of 30hl/ha. (JA)

Email JohnAlthough this wine has a rather unassuming label it's quite impressive. It truly reflects the unique terrior of Pessac-Leognan while delivering a medium-to-full-bodied palate of concentrated black fruit, smooth ripe tannins and a delicious finish. This wine is singing at the moment and offers a lot at the price.
