2020 vintage. I didn't taste them alongside, but the 2020 seems to have more tension and complexity compared to the very good 2019. — 2 days ago

2022 vintage. Partly made from a plot named " La Colline", this is Cabernet Sauvignon dominated. Dark red. On first impact, the oak was a bit dominating, after 30 minutes the blackberries and Amarena cherries are showing up. Seriously concentrated, with more black than red fruits, ripe tannin and good acidity. While the wine can handle the oak ( patience required), I feel that this wine would be even better with a less heavy hand on the oak. Abv. 14,5%. — 8 days ago

2022 vintage. Ondulations (first vintage 2019), is an attempt to produce a more contemporary style of Bordeaux, without oak ageing. It's been aged in amphorae and wine jars, and it is delicious. Fruit-driven, fresh and velvety, with good length and purity. Great value. Abv. 14%. — 9 days ago

2015 vintage. 37,5 cl bottle. Golden colour. Intense perfume with caramel, roasted nuts, dried pineapple and orange peel. The idea is a more accessible style of Sauternes that could work as an aperitif, but after 10 years, this has beautifully evolved into something more complex and rich, while refreshing acidity keeps the sweetness in check. Abv. 14%. A great introduction to the grand vin. — 6 days ago

2022 vintage. 100% Gros Manseng. A crisp, lemony dry Jurançon that is still very youthful, even with a synthetic cork. Very good value. Abv. 14%. — 7 days ago

2017 vintage. Tasted at today's lunch at the Château. Classic Margaux, very elegant, without the power of the best years, but very good. — 10 days ago
