James Suckling
Reviewed December 2022A very fine and polished 2020 with tar, blackberry, stone and wet earth aromas and flavors. Full and reserved with beautiful tannins and a long, long finish. Classy. Extremely well done. From biodynamically grown grapes. Demeter certification.

Clean and clear but quite tannic with dark fruits and lots of liquorice but savoury rather than spiced, the oak is well integrated in terms of overt spice but the tannins are quite prominent and mouth filling giving a grippy, and just shy of dry texture. Nice drive from start to finish, this feels well made, not super complex but not trying to be something it's not. Plump and plush, some ripeness to the tannins, I like this alot, texturally interesting with good fruit flavours and tons of freshness. (GH)

Jane Anson
This has attractive juice and touches of austere sappy tannins, feels bristling and well handled, with blood orange notes on the attack. Concentrated fruits as it builds up power, this doesn't quite have the seductive glamour that you often find in Pessac-Léognan but is structured and enjoyable. Organic certified. A yield of 18hl/ha. 16 month ageing in 300L barrels and 3,000L wooden tun. Demeter certified. 6% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec complete the blend. (JA)

Wine Spectator
Shows nice breadth, with warm earth and paving stone notes supporting a core of gently mulled red and black currant fruit. Delivers a dusting of tobacco and cedar on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. (JM)
