Deliciously pure and velvety, with plum and blackberry sauce notes gliding along, enhanced by black tea and anise accents. Seductive in feel. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com

A Stéphane Derenoncourt wine. Dark crimson. Sweet and thick. Not really enough lift and drive. Not obviously a Graves. Too heavy. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2023-2035

This bijou property has way less Cabernet Sauvignon in its blend than its more famous First Growth neighbour, but this certainly doesn’t lack structure or ageing potential in 2015. Mint, dried herbs and dense damson and blackcurrant fruit are supported by a frame of tannin and extract. Impressive stuff. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2025-2035

Score 96-97/100 · James Suckling

This shows incredible texture with the finest velvet mouthfeel. Super character of chocolate, walnut and orange peel. Great length and subtlety. Lots of whole berry fermentation and maceration gives the wine grace and fruit. Then it kicks in. Great power and structure at the end. Very unique. 45% cabernet franc, 25% cabernet sauvignon and 30% merlot. 30,000 bottles made. (March 2016), www.jamessuckling.com
