Really excellent with a beautiful depth of fruit and a wonderful center palate. Full-bodied, fruit-driven red yet one that’s in check and balanced. Well done. Better than the 2015? Apr 17, www.jamessuckling.com

Often a stunning value, the Les Cerisiers is once again fabulous in 2016. Sweet red cherry, espresso, herbs and crushed flowers wrap around a core of fleshy fruit in a soft, supple Côtes de Bordeaux loaded with personality. The 2016 is a delicious wine from proprietors Hubert De Boüard and Dominique Hebrard. Drink this succulent red over the next handful of years. Tasted two times. Apr 2017, www.vinous.com

The 2016 Francs les Cerisiers, a joint-venture between Hubert de Bouard and Dominique Hebrard, has a straightforward bouquet with bilberry and blackberry fruit, just a touch of undergrowth tucked behind. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, rather surly at the moment and I would be seeking more tension on the finish once this is in bottle. I was expecting a little more given the names involved. Apr 2017, www.robertparker.com
