2011 vintage. 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, and 11% Petit Verdot. This property was bought by the Bouygues brothers in 2006, the same year when they bought Montrose (up to first growth quality these days, and I gave the 2020 a perfect score). They made huge investments to increase the quality, and this 2011 is a very good effort in a much maligned vintage that remains in the shadow of the great 2010 and 2009 vintages. While the tannins have a slightly rough edge to them, it is balanced and satisfying, and a testimony to Bordeaux's ageing capacities, even in lesser vintages. An attractive food wine, and very good value too. Abv. 13%. — a month ago

Opened quickly. Smooth and slighly fruity. Had a second bottle in Paris. — 8 years ago

Excellent white Bordeaux. Honey and floral nose. Honeysuckle, lemon, lemon zest, dried green apple, almond and salt with austere minerality. Very complex and layered with amazing acidity. I’m still on the fence about Bordeaux as a region, but this is outstanding. With potatoes au gratin, romanesco, herbs and a side of balsamic greens. The dish didn’t turn out so well - too dry. But at least the wine was good! — 3 months ago

2020 vintage. It's a pleasure to see that the Quié family ( also Rauzan-Gassies and Tronquoy-Lalande) is finally getting serious about quality. Easily the best wine I have ever tasted from this former perennial underachiever. A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. Cassis, blueberries and toasted oak. Medium-bodied, with juicy black fruit and ripe tannin. It lacks a bit of concentration in the midpalate, but the finish is unexpectedly long. Abv. 14%. — 2 years ago

A discovery for me.
Very CS dominated nose, dark, a bit brooding, with fresh cassis and a bit of turned dark earth. Nice depth & freshness.
Very elegant on the palate, with polished tannins, juicy, fresh acidity and beautiful purity to the black fruit. Long finish, nice depth, still very young, but already approachable.
Great drinkability paired with depth & elegance. This is a really good one. — 8 months ago

80/20 Semillion/Sauvignon Gris blend fermented in oak barrels (30% new) with 7m on lees aging (no racking, gentle rolling).
Nice nose, slightly exotic, white peach, grapefruit, summer meadow, a pinch of white pepper. Enticing.
Fresh on the palate, beautiful juicy acidity, with just a touch of creaminess on the palate. Impeccable balance, good length.
Unusual & delish!
