Rothschild (de Lafite) property. Adjacent to Yquem, Rieussec was until 2012 one of the sweetest wines of Sauternes, revealing itself only after a minimum of 10 years of cellaring. First (r)evolution from 2013 towards a more elegant and delicate style, combining richness and finesse.
Second (r)evolution in 2019 with a drastic tightening of the selections, Rieussec thought as the "head cream" of Château Rieussec, accompanied by a total break of the visual codes: new bottle, new labeling, new repositionable cork, new packaging (box of 4 bottles). Rieussec is now positioned on the second step of Sauternes behind Yquem.
The 2019 vintage in the press:
Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2024): 94/100
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2022): 97/100 "The 2019 Rieussec is absolutely gorgeous. Gracious and supremely elegant in feel, the 2019 is immediately impressive. An exotic melange of lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, passionfruit and tangerine oil opens effortlessly. The 2019 is compelling from start to finish. Harvest tool place from October 8 to 15, in three passes. The 2019 is the first vintage that will be offered in a stylish new bottle. It is no secret Sauternes has struggled of late. I must say I really liked the new and very modern presentation, which shows a more playful side of Sauternes that might just work in creating a bite more excitement around these wines."
Hachette (Guide 2023): Coup de ♥ “A sublime Rieussec, with exceptional balance and elegance.”
J-M Quarin (April 2023): 93/100 “The palate heralds the great return of Rieussec.”

In 2000, Malescot Saint-Exupéry woke up under the leadership of Michel Rolland. Since then, in a generous and serene style, very rich for a Margaux, he has never ceased to distinguish himself. As the Revue du Vin de France wrote: "In 10 years, it is the wine that has made the most progress among the Margaux wines".
The 2022 vintage in the press :
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026): 96/100 "The Malescot style is well expressed in this very flamboyant 2022, with a creamy palate, notes of black fruit and a beautiful texture on the mouth. The tannins melt away and the wine stretches out with a beautiful brightness on the finish."
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2025): 93/100 "The 2022 Malescot Saint Exupéry has a delineated bouquet featuring crisp and airy blackberry, raspberry and light iris flower scents. It's quite Burgundian in style. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a gentle grip and slightly darker fruit than at primeur. Like the nose, it's mineral-driven with a dash of spice toward the finish. There is an endearing purity about this Margaux, and it should drink well for 15 to 20 years. This is very fine."

Advised by Mr. Derenoncourt, Clos Fourtet regularly and unobtrusively demonstrates that the upper part of the Saint-Émilion plateau can produce wines as great as the Ausone or Pavie hillsides. Sobriety, depth, finesse and intensity are exemplary.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026) : 98/100 Coup de ♥ "The 2022 vintage shines brightly. We were already singing the praises of this great wine (90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc; 55,000 bottles) during the en primeur tastings. This masterpiece exceeds our expectations. The irresistible velvety texture envelops the tongue, caresses the palate, then soars towards a remarkably energetic finish. An exceptional wine, to be cellared for decades to come."
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 99/100 "The 2022 Clos Fourtet is every bit as compelling as it was en primeur, maybe even a bit more so. Vertical and explosive, the 2022 offers a captivating mix of textural opulence and classic structure. The blend is 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc. One of the key signatures of Clos Fourtet is the presence of Cabernet Sauvignon, which is rarely seen on the Saint-Émilion plateau but seems to add weight and gravitas here. Dark blue fruits, new leather, spice, menthol and espresso stain the palate as the 2022 gradually reveals its considerable pedigree. The 2022 was raised in a mix of 58% once-used barrels, 40% new oak and 2% amphora. More Importantly, it is without question one of the wines of the vintage."
J.M Quarin (February 2025): 97/100 "Dark, intense and beautiful colour. Very aromatic nose, fine, subtle, complex, with ripe fruit that gains in purity and nobility as the glass is shaken. Smooth on the attack, with a refined texture and melting body, the wine glides, caresses and builds to a crescendo in the last third of the palate. It finishes full, long, delicate and deep at the same time. It's superb."

In 2004, Jean-Michel Chartron gave a new impetus to the family estate, with the chance to have an extraordinary land heritage (the Clos des Chevaliers is the best part of the Chevalier-Montrachet, itself considered the best grand cru in Puligny after Montrachet). Mineral, nervous, powerful and long, its wines are among the greatest in Puligny. Rated one star in the Revue du Vin de France guide.
Appointment : Jean-Michel Chartron was doubly elected "Winegrower of the Year": in the magazine "Bourgogne Aujourd'hui" in March 2018 and in the Hachette guide in September 2018.The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N.Martin - October 2023): 87-89/100 “The 2022 Savigny-lès- Beaune Blanc has plenty of orchard fruit on the nose, orange pith and tangerine, very alluring with nicely integrated oak. The palate is very well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity. It's creamier than expected, with almond and white chocolate touches towards the finish. I would broach this young and enjoy it in its flush of youth.”
Inside Burgundy (Jasper Morris - October 2023) : "Pale lemon colour. The bouquet is quite elegant, without too many woody notes. On the palate, there are aromas of high-quality fresh apple, which preserve the refined character, with a good balance between fruit and acidity in a lingering finish. Peak 2025-2028."
