Media Reviews

Neal Martin

The 2023 Larrivaux has what I call a ‘proper’ nose, with dense blackberry and earthy scents, a touch of cedar and undergrowth. The palate is medium-bodied, with finely sculpted tannins, very harmonious, silky smooth, with a persistent and pure finish. I would gladly welcome this on my dinner table. 91 points, Neal Martin, vinous.com, February 2026

Jane Anson

Dark fruit character on the nose and colour, with intense cassis and bilberry fruit on the opening beats. This needs time to settle, but there is plenty to enjoy here, and the heavily tannic frame fruit is matched step by step by fresh acidities. The first vintage where owner Bérangère Tesseron was joined by her husband Basile Tesseron at this estate with five generations of female owners. Ageing in barrel 95%, amphora 5%. 91 points

Antonio Galloni

The 2023 Larrivaux offers good upfront density and persistence, even if it also feels a touch compact. It will be interesting to see if this comes together more with elevage. There`s potential, but it’s not all there yet. Hints of plum, spice and blood orange linger. Tasted two times. 88-91 points
