Wine Enthusiast
A dark, dry wine that shows its strong, firm tannins. The wine is well structured, with flavors of mint, new wood and a layer of blackberry fruit.
Barrel Sample: 92-94 Points -
Wine Spectator
Shows a darker profile, with boysenberry and linzer torte fruit, but stays supple, creamy and charming through the finish, with a floral lift at the end.
Barrel Sample: 90-93 Points -
James Suckling
Pretty and balanced with delicious ripe fruit and fine tannins. Fresh acidity too. A nice density for the vintage.
Barrel Sample: 91-92 Points -
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Fresh black cherry, licorice, kirsch and chalk-like notes are present in this medium-bodied, dark ruby-colored, classic effort. This mid-weight, lively 2011 is best drunk over the next 10-15 years.
Barrel Sample: 88-90 Points
The U-shaped vineyard is situated on the famous limestone terrace of Saint-Emilion as well as on a southern slope enjoying a sunny exposure. Cultivation and winemaking are under the supervision of the team of Establishments Jean-Pierre Moueix.
