Intense aroma of deep red fruit with light earth. Smooth and deep. Worked very well with grilled beef; skirt steak to be exact. Good Merlot blend. — 4 months ago

Classical Right Bank of Bordeaux blend of Merlot 60%, Cab Franc 35%, Malbec 3%, Cab Sauv. 2%, this particular V.2020 delivers an incredible array of soft ripen cherry aromas, decent structure, not so highly complex, but it has few layers of mulberry compote, dark cherry and açai berry, balanced acidity, nice hint of oak in the mid-range.

The most remarkable aspect was the soft tannins and its smoothness is so inviting that its finish provided a subtle savory taste at the back end of the palate. Awesome!

This wine will give the full round for the money, accessible price point that outperforms seamlessly, a crowd pleaser!

Beautiful out of the gates. So much deep and savory spice behind a wonderful veil of warm red fruit. Ripe raspberry jam, lovely red plum, pastille, an array of spice from pepper, Ceylon cinnamon, and star anise to menthol and bay leaf. Gorgeous smokey and leathery tones throughout. A show stopper from such a subtle vintage, really inviting with its red profile and aromatics. The tannins have a touch of coarseness, but I find the use of whole cluster to highlight them, it is textural and firm but never sharp. Soulful, love it. Lot 16 12.4. — 5 years ago

2020 vintage. Once part of the huge Soutard estate, this Château was known as Petit Faurie de Souchard until 1969. In the 1922 edition of Cocks & Feret, it was considered as first growth quality and stylistically somewhere in between the great wines of Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. As in January 2014, it was bought by the Dassault family, it was expected to be incorporated into Dassault, but that doesn't seem to be the plan. Attractive perfume of red fruit, cuberdon, flowers, and spicy oak. Lush, with good depth and concentration, fresh acidity and a long, spicy finish. Very good value. Abv. 14,5%. — 2 years ago
