Restaurant La Tertre St Emilion, sauvignon, semillion and muscatelle, good citrus with lovely lemons, one of the best we've had so far. 😋 — a year ago
2010 vintage. Domaine de Brondeau Lalande., Bordeaux Supérieur. A great example of how well humble Bordeaux wines can age. Even at 14,5% abv. it feels rather light on its feet, thanks to the balancing acidity. Some complexity and very good length. Also tasted the 2017 (a bit lighter but great value) and the overoaked 2018. — 3 years ago
What a fantastic representation of the Roght Bank! Deep garnet in color with vibrant fruit on the nose and palette. Highly structured but with well aged and softened tannins to support notes of leather, oak, and the typical sous bois of Bordeaux. Still much life left in this bottle - surprising for this vintage. — 2 months ago

Very nice Sauternes with delightful balance of fruit, flowers, sweetness and unctuousness, plus sufficient acids to bring it all together. Quite a delicious sipper. This was the very last bottle of Sauternes I could find at my local BevMo in Santa Monica, and it was just a half bottle at that. I should really go back to the Wine House or Wally’s for my wine purchases but this tells me how under appreciated Sauternes is in the U.S. A pity.
I enjoyed the 2019 vintage with homemade chicken liver pâté on toasted brioche. — 3 years ago

2020 vintage. The last vintage for this wine as it was bought from the Bécot family ( owners of Beauséjour-Bécot) by the owners of Haut-Brion in 2021. It will be incorporated into Château Quintus (which is a merger of 3 estates: Tertre-Daugay, L'Arrosée and Grand-Pontet). Many Saint-Emilion estates disappeared, incorporated into other estates, some very good wines sadly disappeared like Curé Bon La Madeleine (now into Canon), Cadet-Piola (now into Soutard) and so on. The fact that Grand Cru Classés can legally be incorporated into Premier Grands Crus Classés tells you that you have to take the classification with more than a grain of salt. A bit shy on the nose, even after a few hours. Medium-bodied, nice value for a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé. — 2 years ago
