Score 16/20 · Drink 2010-2018, Jancis Robinson MW, Feb 2014

80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Very dark and nuanced ruby. Fragrant and nicely evolved – pretty subtle on the nose. A hint of rusty nails but lots of character. Good dry finish and proper wine! A two-bottle purchase would be GV . (JR)

Owned by the Vauthier family, who also own Ch. Ausone, this large Saint-Emilion estate is the entry-point to the Vauthier range. It is an excellent introduction to the family’s wines and great value, offering an earlier-drinking style.
