As Parker says, this estate is not on most consumer`s radar, but I think it should be. This is from one of my favourite vintages in recent years, particularly on the right bank and unlike some relative unknowns on that side of the river it is amazing value. We taste a lot of wines from this part of the world whose owners have no idea that if they want us to enjoy their undoubtedly good efforts, they should price them realistically. Plummy, fresh and fleshy. This is both very good wine and very well priced. (CW 28/11/11)

Blackberry, cherry, vanilla and earthy fruit aroma. Firm fruit with good perfume, a lovely minerality and iron notes from the Pomerol soil. Fresh, sleek, integrated oak and a lovely zip in the middle. Good solid wine for the mid-term. 16.7pts/20 Four stars
