. Bettane & Desseauve tested for the magazine « Terre de Vins » the best Saint Emilion Grand Cru who are knocking on the door of the Grand Cru Classé, amongst which was our 09 vintage: “This outsider made it: full on the palate, fine notes of wood, still powerful tannins but already well-integrated. Fullbodied, in perfect accordance with the appellation but in its upper echelons"
. Selection of 08 vintage in the Special Wine Dossier of Nouvel Observateur and Challenge magazines: “ Treat of red fruit, fresh and crunchy fruit on the palate, mastered extraction, soft tannins: a delicious merlot (90%) you can enjoy right now or leave in the cellar a couple of years”

Quotation of 09 vintage in the “Guide d’achat de vins 2012 pour les nuls”: This property is surfing in a brilliant way on a vintage of anthology : the smoothness of the silk even before the bottling, a fruit (blackcurrant) which explodes in the mouth which is a good omen for the future. Because the magic of 2009 is underway working, you can already enjoy this Grand Cru next Christmas”
