    François Labet, owner of Château de la Tour in Vougeot, manages the family estate (10 ha in Beaune and Gevrey) with equal talent. He applies the same quality principles: organic farming, non-éraflée harvesting, long ageing (two winters minimum). Far from being the most talked-about domaine, but a wise choice for connoisseurs, according to Bourgogne Aujourd'hui: "to be seized as a matter of urgency, as the quality of the wines has been so consistent for a very long time".

    Vinous (January 2025): 89-91/100 “Beaune Les Coucherias 1er Cru 2023 comes from a south-facing parcel (according to Labet, the name comes from the words ‘raide’ and ‘buissons’). Half of this parcel was replanted in 2020. Another highly perfumed bouquet offers fruits such as raspberry and wild strawberry with lovely delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp red fruit, a little compact on the mid-palate, with gentle grip and an easygoing finish. Fine.”

    Vinous (January 2025): 90-92/100 “The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is a blend of three parcels on either sandy or clay soils; more stems from the sandier soils were used. The nose shows a little exoticism behind the red fruit with hints of kirsch and tangerines, but it is still well defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite elegant in style, with a nice piquancy that attenuates just a little toward the finish. more early-drinking, but certainly weel crafted.”

Always vinified unstemmed, its wines are powerful (certified organic from the 2021 vintage), structured and long-lasting.

    Rated two stars in the Revue du Vin de France annual guide.

    Vinous (January 2025): 92-94/100 “The 2023 Clos Vougeot Vieilles vignes Grand Cru has a plush nose with red cherries, kirsch, marmalade and incense aromas that have a slightly Mediterannean personality-finely delineated and more open-knit than the Cuvée Classique. The palate is well structured with finely chiseled tannins. It is a little savory in style with persistent peppery finish. The 2023 is excellent, although the 2022 will probably have the "legs" for long-term cellaring.”

    Vinous (January 2025): 91-93/100 “The 2023 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Cuvée Classique is picked plot by plot, with some destemmed and some whole cluster depending on the parcel-around 50% on average in the final blend. It has an attractive nose, displaying a mixture of red and black fruit, a little damp loam and light espresso scents in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins.There is not as much depth and grip as the previous vintage, but it's lightly spiced with a touch of black pepper ont the aftertaste. This is delightful and probably on par with the 2022, albeit in a different, more open style.”

    Exceptional terroir of 4 hectares on a south-facing slope (like Pavie) at the entrance to the village of Saint-Émilion. Taken over in 2014 by the Vauthier family (Ausone), who is committed to highlighting the deep, juicy flesh of her grapes, with a confounding naturalness and a splendid aromatic radiance. La Clotte has everything it takes to quickly become one of the most cult wines of the appellation.

    See the technical sheet

    Revue du Vin de France : 95-96/100 « Il illustre parfaitement un saint-émilion solaire, sombre, dominé par un merlot bien mûr, au bouquet baroque, virevoltant. Son ampleur en bouche lui confère un confort, une suavité, une envergure inimitables. Un panache souligné par une finale énergique. »
    Le Point : 15/20 « Fruité pur, boisé fin, bonne tension, tanins denses, finale crayeuse, vive, poivrée. »
    Quarin : 95/100 « Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, subtil et noble. Il se développe très pur à l'agitation du verre avec un fond de framboises et de truffe. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, particulièrement savoureux au milieu, le vin se développe lentement dans un déroulé parfaitement équilibré et un toucher raffiné. Il s'achève long et ascendant dans ses saveurs. C'est superbe ! »
    Galloni : 92-94/100 « The 2023 La Clotte is a very serious wine. La Clotte is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, but the Franc feels especially prominent at this stage. Saline notes run through core of plum, blood orange, white flowers, crushed rocks and white pepper. A shy, introspective wine, this will need a number of years to be at its best, but it is immensely promising. »
    Martin : 93-95/100 « This has a little more precision and mineralité on the nose compared to the Moulin Saint-Georges, quite vibrant with shucked oyster shell in the background. The palate is medium-bodied, with svelte tannins that lend a satin-like texture. It’s very harmonious though not deep, and maybe it misses a bit of grip. That said, more extraction probably would have thrown off the balance here. Very seductive. »

    Like Pétrus, Le Pin is 100% Merlot. But if Pétrus has adopted a more classic style in recent years, Le Pin remains a hedonistic wine, often exuberant, sometimes even exotic. And unlike Pétrus, Le Pin is much rarer (500 cases per year).

    See the technical sheet

    Revue du Vin de France : 97-98/100 « Ce 2023 respecte le classique moelleux de texture du Pin, bien que nuancé par une fraîcheur d’une rare distinction, ne subissant aucun excès de maturité. Il profite de beaucoup de nuances fruitées, à la fois fraîches et confites. Sa qualité de fruit se traduit par un charme tannique saisissant, élancé et voluptueux, le tout ponctué par une délicate salinité désaltérante et une longueur folle. »
    Bettane & Desseauve : 97/100 ♥ Coup de cœur « Aromatique florale complexe, bouche sensuelle et aérienne. On ne sent pas la présence tannique de ce vin funambule à la finale en dentelle qui persiste longtemps. Millésime dans la lignée des vins qui ont fait la légende du cru. »
    Quarin : 97/100 « Couleur sombre et intense. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité et tellement subtil. Notes délicates de fleurs et de truffe à l'agitation du verre. Une délicatesse qu'il conserve en bouche où il se montre suave, ascendant dans son déroulé, profond et presque aérien. Ensemble à l'hédonisme fort, sans rien céder à l'esthétique. De la race. »
    Galloni : 96-99/100 « The 2023 Le Pin is all sensuality. Rich, deep and explosive, the 2023 possesses notable depth. It is an especially exuberant, dense Le Pin. Dark-toned fruit, iron, leather, scorched earth and incense gradually unfurl in the glass. The long, sustained finish is suggestive of what is certain to be a very bright future. »
    Martin : 97-99/100 « I love this nose. This is so pure and refined, it seems to embrace and gently hug the senses, like your favorite aunt or uncle. It blossoms in the glass to reveal subtle crushed stone and graphite notes. The palate has unerring symmetry, finely chiseled tannins and a linear, penetrating finish that goes on and on. This is one of the best vintages of Le Pin I have tasted from barrel, more serious and more floral than some recent vintages. »

Explosive to the core, the 2023 possesses tons of aromatic intensity and pure volume. This showy, Merlot-based Dame is quite alluring. »
    Martin : 89-91/100 « The 2023 La Dame de Montrose has a light and slightly tertiary nose, with touches of tea leaves infusing the black fruit. The palate is soft and supple on the entry, with licorice-tinged black fruit and a rounded, cracked-black-pepper-tinged finish. There’s good body for a Deuxième Vin. This will give a decade of drinking pleasure. »

    Vieux Château Certan is one (the last?) of the very few Bordeaux grands crus where the owners, Alexandre Thienpont and his son Guillaume since 2011, are still the only cellar masters on board. Thanks to its Cabernet Franc (30% on average), Vieux-Certan offers a firm, distinguished and refined version of Pomerol, closer to Lafleur than Petrus. Its 2022 vintage has been showered with praise, as in Vinous, where the two tasters (Galloni and Martin) each rated it 100/100.

    Revue du Vin de France : 97-99/100 ♥ Coup de cœur « On perçoit beaucoup de nuances, combinant des notes de fruits frais et floral délicat, mais surtout une définition très noble de son origine. Son équilibre est issu d’une extraction douce qui respecte la matière tout en gardant son pedigree, se traduisant dans de beaux tanins étirés et poudrés, une grande énergie et la noblesse de la structure. »
    Bettane & Desseauve : 96/100 ♥ Coup de cœur « Le cabernet franc trame la bouche et lui apporte le panache indispensable pour équilibrer la suavité du merlot. Style inimitable et intemporel propre à la propriété avec ce millésime qui se révèle très classique. »

     « The 2023 Vieux Château Certan is like a drug. Its exotic aromatics, deeply layered fruit and sublime textures are just captivating. I tasted the 2023 from an assembled base blend and four core components. Every wine was nothing short of breathtaking. When I think of the archetypes of greatness in Bordeaux, VCC is one of them. »
    Martin : 94-96/100 « This unfurls beautifully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. Broader in the mouth compared to the Le Pin that I tasted right before, this is slightly more savory in style thanks to the 18% Cabernet Franc, landing gently on the finish. »

    Haut-Bailly is the most delicate of the Graves wines with a particularly silky tannic structure.

    See the technical sheet

    Revue du Vin de France : 95-97/100 ♥ Coup de cœur « Un vin clair, sans saturation chromatique, mais d’une magnifique plénitude et d’une grande sérénité. L’identité du cru est parfaitement retranscrite dans cette version tout en finesse, expressive, d’emblée charmeuse, au parfum charnel de pivoine rouge. Indéniablement svelte, la matière s’exprime en longueur étirée, sans le moindre creux, maigreur ni angulosité. [...]  C’est une grande réussite qui confirme que les millésimes moins massifs conviennent à merveille à Haut-Bailly. »
    Bettane & Desseauve : 95-96/100 ♥ Coup de cœur « Un modèle de classicisme qui n’ennuie jamais, promis à un grand avenir et dans le type même de ce que ce cru célèbre peut donner. »
    Le Point : 18/20
    « Fruits noirs, mûre, sureau, feuillage, joli grain, bien structuré, bons tanins, puissant et élégant, très persistant. »
    Quarin : 95/100 
    « Beau rouge pourpre. Nez intense, fin, pur, fruité et subtil. Délicat en entrée de bouche, avec de suite de la classe dans le toucher, le vin caresse le palais. Il évolue sur un corps juteux, vers une finale aux arômes fins et aux appuis tanniques modérés. Bonne longueur. »
    Galloni : 94-96/100 « The 2023 Haut-Bailly is one of the most sensual, elegant wines I have tasted here. Soft, curvy and racy, the 2023 is impeccably balanced right out of the gate. Deceptively approachable and soft, the 2023 is much more about finesse than power. It's a wine that represents the new spirit of Bordeaux-a wine that emphasizes understatement and class. »
    Martin : 96-98/100 « The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins that frame the blackberry, raspberry, cedar and graphite-infused fruit. It boasts more grip and persistency on the finish than its peers, with a residual subtle pinch of black pepper. This ranks as one of the standout wines in Pessac-Léognan, perhaps in Bordeaux itself. Outstanding. »

    The second wine of Haut-Bailly, called La Parde de Haut-Bailly until 2018. In the same style as its big brother, all restraint and finesse, and increasingly charming thanks to an increased proportion of Merlot since 2010.

    A second wine of “flawless consistency and unfailing elegance”, according to Bettane & Desseauve (Guide 2025).

    See the technical sheet

    Revue du Vin de France : 91-93/100 « Le second vin de Haut-Bailly est une véritable gourmandise, dont on boirait déjà volontiers de larges rasades ... Clair d’aspect, tendre, il s’offre dès le nez, avec la prééminence d’un fruit direct, avenant, volubile même. L’expressivité de ce même fruit, d’une délicieuse douceur, s’articule en bouche autour d’une structure plus acidulée que tannique. Un bonbon, mais sans aucun simplisme. »
    Le Point : 16.5/20 « Fruits noirs, fruité frais, boisé doux, tanins veloutés, finale relevée, salivante, persistante, coté gourmand du merlot. »
    Quarin : 91/100 « Très beau rouge sombre et pourpre. Nez aromatique, au fruité mûr et un brin solaire. Minutieux dès l'entrée en bouche, savoureux au milieu, très aromatique, avec un corps modéré, le vin évolue sans angle tannique sur une longueur normale. Ensemble très agréable. »
    Galloni : 90-93/100 « The 2023 Haut-Bailly II is soft, open-knit and very pretty. I am almost shocked by how accessible the II is today. Then again, I tasted it on a warm, very sunny day, ideal conditions for tasting wines from barrel. Crushed flowers, spice, mint, dried herbs and rose petal are all very nicely lifted. Silky tannins add to the wine's considerable charm. »
    Martin : 90-92/100 « The 2023 Haut-Bailly II has quite a potent bouquet with perfumed black fruit, touches of dark chocolate and mint, well-defined and focused. The palate is framed by powdery tannins and nicely balanced with gentle grip. There's moderate depth and a touch of white pepper toward the finish, actually gaining cohesion in the glass. The 2023 will need two or three years in bottle. »

    Bought out in 2017 by the reinsurer SCOR, a page is turned in Troplong-Mondot, a formidable terroir in Saint-Emilion. Up to and including 2016, these are the richest in extract and most generous wines of the appellation, made by Christine Valette and her husband, under the aegis of Michel Rolland.

    Radical break in style from the 2017 vintage, with less dense but oh so precise, elegant and racy wines, confirmed in 2018 by Mr. Galloni (vinous) "The 2018 is regal, refined and absolutely exquisite", rated 97/100.

    Revue du Vin de France : 95-96/100 « Grande fraîcheur que nous retrouvons dans une bouche à la puissance diffuse, formant un octogone. Une finale extrêmement fraîche provoquant une salivation dynamique. »
    Bettane & Desseauve : 95-96/100 ♥ Coup de cœur « Dense, pulpeux avec une touche d’épices. La matière présente une charpente très sûre, puissante qui portera dans le temps cette chair ferme et soyeuse. »
    Le Point : 18.5/20  « Ronces, baies sauvages, bouche veloutée, amer fin, tanins denses et toniques. Pas lourd, appétant, riche, finale saline, persistante. »
    Galloni : 95-98/100 « The 2023 Troplong Mondot is simply stunning. It's one of the best wines yet made under the direction of Aymeric de Gironde. Towering and statuesque, the 2023 explodes out of the glass with tons of vertical energy. Dark red-toned fruit, licorice, spice, lavender, mocha and pencil shavings are some of the many notes that infuse the 2023 with character. The combination of soaring aromatics, chiseled fruit and a limestone-infused finish is nothing less than captivating. What a wine. »
    Martin : 95-97/100 « The 2023 has a very well-defined and focused bouquet with pure blackberry, raspberry, ground chalk and light sea cave scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a very crisp and mineral-driven entry. It's chalky in texture and quite tensile in the mouth, with a dash of black pepper on the finish. This is an individualistic Saint-Émilion that will fill out during its élevage. Very long. »

    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.

    See the technical sheet

    Revue du Vin de France : 94-95/100 « Fidèle à son style retenu, en retrait aromatique, Larcis Ducasse promet une évolution avec panache. Son cœur de bouche s’affirme avec une grande élégance de toucher, un beau délié de texture. La signature racée et savoureuse d’un saint-émilion. »
    Bettane & Desseauve : 96-97/100 ♥ Coup de cœur « À ce stade, sa réussite se joue plus en bouche qu’au nez. Le toucher de tannin donne beaucoup de charme à la matière enveloppante et la finale se met en place. »
    Le Point : 17.5/20 « Nez discret, aérien, fruité pur, pivoine, bois de réglisse, milieu de bouche solide, bien bâti, en place, savoureux, épices, tanins crayeux. »
    Quarin : 93/100 « Beau rouge sombre. Nez intense, au fruité très mûr. Ample à l'attaque, fruité en milieu de bouche, avec du corps et une texture un brin agrippante, le vin évolue savoureux et un peu simple dans la persistance. Longueur normale. »
    Galloni : 94-96/100 « The 2023 Larcis Ducasse is elegant, powerful and wonderfully expressive. In other words, classic Larcis. Plum, blood orange, spice, menthol, mocha and gravel infuse the 2023 with layers of dimension that only grow with time in the glass. This will need some time to shed its considerable baby fat. Superb. Tasted four times. »
    Martin : 93-95/100 « The nose is quite open with brambly red fruit, briar and subtle incense aromas. It's not as intense as the previous vintage, though I appreciate the definition and charm. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins on the entry that frame the layered black fruit, struck through with light flinty elements. Blind, I might have said there is Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend thanks to the graphite finish. »

    Practically abandoned in 1993 when Mr. and Mrs. Cathiard bought it, Smith Haut Lafitte is today one of the 10 greatest vintages of the Bordeaux left bank. The road they have travelled is truly admirable, and the Cathiards have spared no effort: restoration of the vineyard, construction of a vat room and underground cellar, introduction of state-of-the-art equipment, conversion to organic viticulture...

    See the technical sheet

    Revue du Vin de France : 94-96/100 « La belle ouverture aromatique témoigne d’emblée du caractère séduisant et délié du vin. On perçoit des notes florales très raffinées au cœur d’une cerise noire que ne vient pas perturber une prise de bois harmonieuse. [...]  Une très belle version du cru, avec une élégance déliée qui lui sied à merveille et qui nous rappelle la grande réussite du 2019, avec un caractère moins solaire. »
    Bettane & Desseauve : 95/100 ♥ Coup de cœur « Elégance évidente de parfum et de texture, corps équilibré, plus de fruit que chez la plupart de ses pairs, avec beaucoup de charme et de la classe. »
    Le Point : 17-17.5/20 
    « Fruité élégant, pur, note mentholée, tendu, tanins, racés, poudrés. Ciselé, juteux, très persistant, précision, pierre à fusil. »
    Quarin : 96/100
     
    « Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez très aromatique, fin, pur, au fruité mûr, subtilement accompagné par une note fumée, sur un fond de mûre et de vanille. Touches d'aiguilles de pin à l'agitation du verre. Délicat en entrée de bouche, caressant au milieu, avec de la classe dans le toucher, le vin se développe lentement et s'élève minutieusement en finale, tout à la fois délicat et puissant. Très belle longueur. »
    Galloni : 95-97/100 « The 2023 Smith Haut Lafitte is a powerhouse. In recent years, the Grand Vin has shifted toward a bit more nuance than in the past, but in 2023, small yields and thick skins yielded a somber, explosive Grand Vin. It will need many years to be at its most expressive. Blackberry, gravel, licorice, spice, plum and chocolate are some of the many notes that emerge from the glass. Readers will find a wine of real substance and textural intensity, framed by vibrant acids. A touch of air works wonders here. »
    Martin : 94-96/100 « The 2023 Smith Haut Lafitte it has a lovely bouquet with blackberry, wild strawberry, crushed violet and light oyster shell scents. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, gentle grip, fine depth and a sapid, classically lined finish. One of the more structured Smith Haut Lafittes in recent years, it deserves four or five years in bottle. Excellent. »
