A tiny cru of one and a half hectares adjacent to Clos Fourtet, which came into the Cuvelier family in 2013 and has been vinified by the technical team of Clos Fourtet since 2018. Without losing any of their silky roundness and flattering fruitiness (100% Merlot), the wines have gained in purity and length in recent vintages. They now faithfully reflect their terroir, with the underlying limestone giving the wines minerality and distinction.
Revue du Vin de France : 90-92/100 « Le nez dévoile la touche florale du millésime. Le fruit se réveille en milieu de bouche. Les tanins assument leur rôle et “verticalisent” un vin poivré en finale. »
Bettane & Desseauve : 90-91/100
Quarin : 93/100 « Bouche délicieuse, fondante, avec beaucoup de minutie dans la texture. Elle évolue sur un charme redoutable et un retour de la saveur de mûres dans la persistance, le tout sur une touche boisée, toastée particulièrement bien ajustée. C'est superbe ! »
Dupont (Le Point) : 15.5/20 « Bouche dense, fruité pur. »
Galloni (Vinous) : 91-93/100 « Open and resonant in the glass, the 2021 offers a beguiling mix of red/purplish fruit, rose petal, lavender, sage and mint, with veins of salinity that lend energy as well as direction. »
Martin (Vinous) : 92-94/100 « Not a powerful Les Grandes Murailles, yet stylish and with plenty of character. »
Mrs Papon-Nouvel's other grand cru (with Petit Gravet Aîné). Same organic culture, same sensitivity, same style, with extra flesh and depth. Great wine! Great wine, logically promoted to grand cru classé in 2022.
Bettane & Desseauve : 92-93/100
Quarin : 92/100 « Nuance très chic de gelée de mûres. Délicatement charnu en entrée de bouche, parfumé au milieu, avec une pointe de truffe, très bien construit, le vin caresse le palais, tout en nuances parfumées. C'est très bon. »
Galloni (Vinous) : 92-94/100 « This is a pretty understated vintage for Clos Saint-Julien, but the balance is there. I especially like the energy. »
Martin (Vinous) : 89-91/100 « The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins, quite sinewy and nicely balanced. »
From 2005, La Dominique, prestigious terroir adjacent to Cheval Blanc, L'Évangile and La Conseillante, returns in great shape. His velvety and sensual style places him halfway between Saint-Émilion and Pomerol.
Revue du Vin de France : 91-92/100 « Fraîcheur et franchise caractérisent ce vin. L’extraction des tanins s’est faite en douceur. Il possède du volume et de l’envergure malgré une baisse d’énergie en bouche. »
Bettane & Desseauve : 94-95/100
Quarin : 91/100 « Bouche au corps caressant, avec de la présence et un joli goût de fruits mûrs tout le long du palais. »
Dupont (Le Point) : 16/20 « Bouche veloutée, du fruit. »
Martin (Vinous) : 92-94/100 « The well-balanced palate is fresh and crisp with fine-grained tannins. Silky-smooth leading into a very persistent, tensile finish. This continues La Dominique's upward trajectory. Excellent. »
Dazzling success since 2015 of this great terroir just below Ausone: aromatic precision, superlative but harmonious depth, a big congratulations to Mr. Mallet (owner) and Mr. Derenoncourt (consultant). Since 2010, La Gaffelière is undoubtedly flying from success to success!
"We are here at the heart of what is most sensual and singular in Saint-Emilion", according to the Revue du Vin de France.
Revue du Vin de France : 94-95/100 « L’ensemble est construit sur une belle dynamique, sans rigidité. La structure est d’une grande élégance, on y sent aussi les épices douces. Le vin se montre élancé, les tanins assez croquants et la finale digeste. »
Bettane & Desseauve : 96/100
Quarin : 94/100 « Délicat en entrée de bouche, très aromatique au milieu, le vin caresse le palais et va ascendant en finale, subtilement tramé. Belle longueur à la tannicité nuancée et parfumée. Ensemble raffiné et très bon. »
Dupont (Le Point) : 17.5-18/20 « Bouche savoureuse, beaucoup de fraîcheur, [...] complet, persistant et très savoureux. »
Galloni (Vinous) : 95-97/100 « The 2021 La Gaffelière is a wine of extraordinary finesse and class. »
Martin (Vinous) : 94-96/100 « Conveying good intensity and vibrancy, this continues a strong run for this Saint-Émilion estate. »
Rocheyron is the result of a friendly and professional partnership between Sylvio Denz (Faugères and Lafaurie-Peyraguey) and Peter Sisseck (Pingus). Since 2010, they have been investing in this small 8-hectare vineyard, located entirely on the asteriated limestone plateau characteristic of Saint-Émilion: tilling the soil, conversion to organic farming (certified in 2020), gentle vinification at low temperatures... Rocheyron is constantly progressing, and each year offers wines with an unequalled tannic softness.
Martin (Vinous) : 90-92/100 «The palate is silky-smooth, pure and charming, with lightly spiced red fruit and a slightly ferrous finish»
Immediate neighbour of Pavia, Larcis-Ducasse was logically promoted to 1st Grand Cru Classé in 2012 due to its full south-facing hillside exposure and the brilliant work of the Thienpont-Derenoncourt tandem.
Revue du Vin de France : 94-96/100 « La robe est plus sombre que la moyenne des vins du millésime. Le nez floral est teinté de notes de fruits rouges (fraise, cerise). L’exposition sud a permis de conserver de la chair autour de la colonne vertébrale du vin. Les tanins sont crémeux, élégants. Beaucoup de distinction dans une finale aux notes de chlorophylle. »
Bettane & Desseauve : 95/100
Quarin : 95/100 « Nez intense, fruité, subtil et complexe. Jolie nuance fleurie. Touche de noisette. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, très parfumé au milieu, avec du goût, de la présence, le vin fond au palais, savoureux, long et un brin boisé à cet âge. C'est très bon. »
Galloni (Vinous) : 91-93/100 « The 2021 is more power than finesse. »
Martin (Vinous) : 91-93/100 « Quite saline in the mouth, this is distinguished by a liberal sprinkling of cracked black and Spanish Padron pepper towards the finely persistent finish. Classy and full of character. »
An ultra-refined great wine, with a mineral tension that is out of the ordinary in Bordeaux, the fruit of the great terroir of the Côte Pavie, but also of the complicity of Mr Nicolas Thienpont and Mr Stéphane Derenoncourt since 1994.
Revue du Vin de France : 94-96/100 « Robe profonde et brillante ; touche de menthe fraîche sur un fruit gras (myrtille), acidulé au nez. En bouche, la structure est fluide, souple, légère, à la pointe délicatement poivrée, les tanins raffinés. »
Bettane & Desseauve : 95-96/100
Quarin : 94/100 « Délicat à l'attaque, fruité, le vin prend de la saveur à partir du milieu de bouche. Il s'étire long et parfumé, délicat, avec des nuances d'orange. »
Dupont (Le Point) : 17/20 « Bouche dense, onctueuse, tannique. »
Galloni (Vinous) : 92-94/100 « The 2021 Pavie Macquin is a rich, heady wine, as it typically is. »
Martin (Vinous) : 92-94/100 « More "vertical" than usual, this is nicely focused with a delineated, quite mineral-driven finish that showcases its asteriated limestone terroir. Excellent. »
In 2012, Haut-Brion bought and combined two grands crus classés (Tertre-Dauguay and L'Arrosée) on the slopes of Saint-Émilion (Côte Ausone), and put a foot in the right bank, called Quintus because it is their fifth property (after Haut-Brion, La Mission HB, Laville HB and Latour HB).
Their first objective is to make fine, long wines, focusing on freshness and delicacy rather than power or density, more typical of the left bank than the right bank.
Second objective: to shine in the next Saint-Emilion classifications (its immediate neighbours are Ausone, Belair-Monange, Angélus and Canon, all 1st classified grands crus).
Bettane & Desseauve :
Quarin : 95/100 « Minutieux en entrée de bouche, particulièrement aromatique au milieu, complexe et profond, avec de la classe dans le toucher, le vin prend de la puissance entre le milieu et la finale. Il s'achève long, suave, sèveux et délicieux. Il s'agit là de l'expression la plus aboutie que je connaisse dans Quintus à cet âge. »
Galloni (Vinous) : 92-94/100 « The 2021 Quintus is the most elegant wine I have ever tasted here, by a wide measure. [...] All the elements are so well balanced. Bright saline notes linger on the finish. This is impressive for the year. »
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.
Revue du Vin de France : 96-97/100 « La pureté de Clos Fourtet 2021 se caractérise par une belle harmonie de fruits rouges. Tout est en équilibre : l’envergure, la tension et la texture soyeuse. L’aristocratie habituelle du vin s’adosse à l’énergie du millésime. »
Bettane & Desseauve : 95-96/100
Quarin : 94/100 « Délicat en entrée de bouche et immédiatement doué d'un toucher minutieux et raffiné, le vin évolue savoureux, tendre, légèrement velouté, vers une finale sèveuse dans laquelle revient un brin de vivacité. »
Dupont (Le Point) : 17/20 « Fraîcheur salivante et douceur des tanins, finale soyeuse, délicate »
Galloni (Vinous) : 94-96/100 « The 2021 Clos Fourtet is very clearly one of the wines of the vintage on the Right Bank. »
Martin (Vinous) : 91-93/100 « A less concentrated Clos Fourtet, even with the bleeding, but it retains balance and displays salinity and precision on the finish. »
Revue du Vin de France : 93-95/100 « La trame est dense, la concentration parfaite. Le fruit est encore très mûr et la densité typique de Valandraud. La fraîcheur se conjugue à un tanin crémeux mais vibrant qui donne plus d’énergie à la finale. »
Bettane & Desseauve : 96-97/100
Quarin : 95/100 « Moelleux en entrée de bouche, velouté au milieu, le vin évolue plein, en caressant le palais, vers une longue finale savoureuse, à la tannicité enrobée et riche en saveurs. »
Dupont (Le Point) : 17/20 « Milieu de bouche moelleux, réglisse, finale nette, sapide. »
Galloni (Vinous) : 93-95/100 « The 2021 Valandraud is compelling. Bright acids give the 2021 terrific purity and cut. »
Martin (Vinous) : 92-94/100 « More linear than previous vintages, yet fresh, this is well-defined toward the finish, where a pleasant spiciness carries over on the aftertaste. »
Bettane & Desseauve : 92-93/100
Quarin : 93/100 « Délicatement charnu à l'attaque, savoureux au milieu, très fondant, le vin caresse le palais. Il évolue avec du goût, délicat, très fruité et incrachable. »
Galloni (Vinous) : 94-96/100 « Dark cherry, cloves, leather, crushed rocks, rose petal and blood orange are some of the myriad aromas and flavors that develop with a little coaxing. The 2021 is a deeply intriguing wine. »
Martin (Vinous) : 93-95/100 « For the first time, I think L'If matches Le Pin pound for pound. »
Become a first grand cru classé in 2012, just reward for 20 years of effort by Mr. Neipperg (Canon-La Gaffelière, Clos de l'Oratoire) on this small vineyard of 4.5 ha adjoining Troplong-Mondot. A very large Saint-Émilion, fleshy, intense and penetrating, but with a confidential production.
Revue du Vin de France : 94-96/100 « Fruit rouge très mûr sur des notes d'orange sanguine. La bouche complexe, vibrante d’énergie et pourvue d'une belle concentration est structurée par un tanin soyeux. Cette nouvelle Mondotte, plus austère, n’en est que plus séduisante. »
Bettane & Desseauve : 95-96/100
Dupont (Le Point) : 17.5/20 « Bouche vive, très droite, savoureuse, grande persistance »
Galloni (Vinous) : 93-95/100 « Like all of the Neipperg wines, La Mondotte shows terrific energy and drive. [...] The purity of the flavors is striking. I am so looking forward to tasting the 2021 in bottle. »
Martin (Vinous) : 91-93/100 « Much less powerful than the La Mondotte of old. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, juicy and ripe, well balanced with a silky smooth finish. »
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).

Martin (Vinous) : 90-92/100 « It has a very perfumed and poised bouquet, mineral-driven like the Clos du Roy [Marsannay], the 50% stems are beautifully assimilated. The palate has more body than the Clos du Roy, grippy and quite firm in structure, blackberry and touches of blueberry towards the finish. »
