With more classically opulent aromas than most of its neighbours, This JP Moueix property has done an excellent job this year. Deeply coloured and very concentrated, the over-riding impression is of excellent balance. Certainly one of the top Pomerols on show. Drink 2014-2021. 16.4 points (out of 20)

"Extremely deep purple. Obviously ripe fruit (black fruit flavours) but with attractive fragrance too. Mouthfilling, very supple on the palate - relatively low in acidity. This is pretty flashy. I'd drink it fairly young because of the low acid, though the tannins will have to settle down first. 16 points (out of 20)."

"This is very nicely done for the vintage, with plenty of floral, mineral and fresh dark fruit character. Medium-to-full body, fine tannins and a clean, focused finish. Very impressive for the vintage. 89-92 points."
