    Although contiguous to Poujeaux, Chasse-Spleen offers another face to Moulis wines, more tannic and, in its first youth, more austere. A great Medoc classic.

    Chasse-Spleen expands in 2023 with the acquisition of Brillette, 35 ha of a beautiful terroir of deep gravel in Moulis.

    Revue du Vin de France : 91-92/100 « Le cru s’est étendu en 2023 avec l’acquisition de Brillette. Le vin est très charmeur, conforme à son style. Dans un registre floral, tendre et juteux, avec une finale saline. Un Chasse-Spleen classique et équilibré. »

    The arrival of Mr. Dhalluin in 2004 not only benefited Mouton-Rothschild, but also the two other classified growths of Barony: d'Armailhac and Clerc-Milon. Their vines occupy the southern (d'Armailhac) and northern (Clerc-Milon) part of the Mouton gravel plateau. D'Armailhac is barely less rich than Clerc-Milon, but it gives the same aromatic nobility of blackcurrant, tobacco and cedar blends.

    See the technical sheet

    Revue du Vin de France : 92-93/100 « Le côté étiré, longiligne et sapide du vin s’explique par la grande proportion de cabernets (sauvignon et franc). Un vin aux arômes de fruits frais, juteux et velouté en finale. Très jolie texture. »

     « Couleur sombre, pourpre et belle. Nez très aromatique, au fruité pur, subtil, évoluant crémeux et profond dans le verre. Joli caractère vivant. Tendre à l'attaque, tendre en milieu de bouche, puis aromatique et savoureux, le vin gagne de la puissance en finale. Pour autant son déroulé est précis, minutieux, presque doux et charmant. »
    Galloni : 90-92/100 « The 2023 d'Armailhac is a plump, juicy wine that very much captures the generous side of the year. Succulent red plum, spice, new leather, rose petal and pomegranate are nicely amplified. Armailhac can have a slight edginess in its tannin profile, but today, that is not especially evident. This is a very sexy, almost opulent d'Armailhac, despite having the most Cabernet Sauvignon ever in the blend. »
    Martin : 91-93/100 « Son bouquet très serré exige d'être encouragé dans le verre, mais il lui manque peut-être le panache qui a élevé le millésime précédent. On pourrait dire que ce vin semble plus « sérieux ». La bouche est moyennement corsée, avec des tanins granuleux et une colonne vertébrale ferme. Il est un peu plus poivré que les millésimes précédents et s'achève sur une finale épurée. Donnez-lui deux ou trois ans en bouteille. »

    Property Rothschild (Mouton), with d'Armailhac. Apart from the terroir, the main difference between the two crus is the increased proportion of Merlot in Clerc-Milon (35% as opposed to 20%), giving it additional smoothness and richness. Since 2007 Clerc-Milon has benefited from its own vat room, a new winery and a dedicated team of 21 people so that Clerc-Milon can compete qualitatively with Lynch-Bages and Pontet-Canet.

    Revue du Vin de France : 93-94/100 « Le cru évolue dans sa forme, avec une tendance à augmenter la proportion de merlot, sans pour autant se passer de quelques très beaux cabernets historiques (19 %). Il gagne en définition, sans perdre son charme et son intensité de saveurs. Il tapisse le palais avec une finale crémeuse, sphérique. »

    Galloni : 91-93/100 « The 2023 Clerc Milon is a packed with blackberry, grilled herbs, leather, incense, gravel and cloves. A dark, brooding powerhouse, the 2023 will need a few years to settle down. Today, its imposing, tannic personality is very much front and center. »
    Martin : 92-94/100 « The palate is very well balanced with a slightly creamy texture and a lovely mouthfeel. Its concentration is neatly counterbalanced by the acidity, and it feels very harmonious and long on the finish. Superb.

    Historically owned by the Malet de Roquefort family (Ch. La Gaffelière) since 1819, but sold in 1959 as part of an estate, Château Puyblanquet was returned to its original owner in 2021. This 19-hectare single vineyard, situated on a clay-limestone ridge to the east of the appellation, now benefits from the same care as its big brother. It's no surprise, then, to find in its wines the charm and finesse of texture that have made Ch. La Gaffelière such a success. According to the Guide Bettane & Desseauve 2025, this is “the greatest revelation in Saint-Émilion in recent years”.

    « The 2023 Haut-Marbuzet is terrific. Dark, vibrant and quite virile in its expression, the 2023 Haut-Marbuzet has so much to offer. Plum, blood orange, pomegranate, spice and new leather are some of the notes that leap from the glass. Today, the 2023 is quite primary in its intensity, yet all the elements are very nicely balanced. This is a fine showing. »
    Martin : 91-93/100 « The 2023 Haut-Marbuzet has a refined bouquet that is more understated than a typical wine from this estate, displaying blackberry, raspberry and light pressed flower scents. [...] The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and focused, with fine-boned tannins and a pretty, poised finish that conveys a sense of class. Very fine.

    Appointed cellar master in 1994, Mr. Chevallier focused on developing Lafite-Rothschild wines without losing any of the characteristic bouquet of blackcurrant, graphite and cedar. This objective was quickly achieved, placing Lafite at the top of the 1st classified growths (this was already the case in 1855), and revered as such by the Chinese market. The incredible qualities of Lafite's terroir make it a unique vintage and give Cabernet Sauvignon (more than 90% present each year) its most beautiful aromatic expressions.

    The great 2020 vintage was awarded the supreme score of 100/1000 by the Revue du Vin de France: "Spectacular, bordering on perfection".

    Known for producing one of the firmest and tightest (even robust) Pauillacs available, Duhart-Milon has since 2010 refined its style to gradually approach that of Lafite (same owner and same team). New direction and progress amply confirmed, with an unprecedented charm and fatness from the 2015 vintage onwards. Given the quality of its terroir (the only 4th Grand Cru Classé in Pauillac), Duhart-Milon has certainly not finished its progression.

    As the latest Bettane & Desseauve guide (2025) points out, “So many changes in recent vintages, with a great wine that has rediscovered the depth and dimension of the greatest Pauillacs”!

    See the technical sheet

A virile, authoritative wine, Duhart- Milon is hugely promising in this edition. »
    Martin : 93-95/100 « The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins that belie the backbone of this Pauillac. That graphite element is accentuated in the mouth and controls the classic finish that could only come from this appellation. This is excellent, but patience is required. »

    Second wine of Lafite-Rothschild.

    Bettane & Desseauve : 93/100 « Le vin continue à se rapprocher du style du grand vin, avec un corps et des sensations tactiles qui s’épanouissent à l’aération. »
    Le Point : 16.5
    /20 « Bouche juteuse, tendue, fraîche, serrée. Beaucoup de gourmandise dans un vin pourtant sérieux. »
    Quarin : 94/100 « Moelleux en entrée de bouche, avec de la présence, le vin glisse, parfume et fond au palais. Il avance en gagnant beaucoup de saveurs dans la persistance. Cette puissance aromatique dominée par le fruit noir, sans aucun angle tannique, fait toute son identité. Il y a un aspect château Le Pin dans le Carruades. »
    Galloni : 92-94/100 « The 2023 Carruades de Lafite is a very pretty, sensual wine that very much captures the personality of the Grand Vin, naturally in a more approachable style. [...] I have to say, there is something very direct about the 2023-something frank that is really evident. I admire its purity. Succulent red plum, spice, cedar, tobacco and a lifting touch of white pepper open first, while beautifully persistent saline undertones extend the finish. »
    Martin : 91-93/100 « It has a far superior bouquet to some of the vintages I was tasting a decade or so ago-much more purity and precision, with notes of black plum, wild strawberry and a touch of cassis. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky texture and a crisp line of acidity. It's fresh, precise and saline, with a long tail on the finish. This is surely one of the best Carruades I have tasted at this stage. »

    Contiguous to Mouton-Rothschild, Pontet-Canet is in good vintages the very type of great Pauillac, straight and racy. The first of the Grands Crus Classés to be certified "organic" (in 2010), Pontet-Canet has been at the top of the Médoc since 2000.

    See the technical sheet

    Revue du Vin de France : 95-96/100 « 2023 a engendré les plus longues vendanges de l’histoire du cru, soit trente-quatre jours. Une nécessité pour amener les cabernets à leur point de maturité et leur permettre de développer le soyeux typique du cru. C’est encore un vin très velouté, délié, mais aussi persistant et éclatant dans une finale qui tapisse la bouche. »

      « Nez chêne frais, bouche délicate, élégante, fraîche, tendre, tanins fins, matière et délicatesse. Déjà savoureux, salivant. » « The 2023 Pontet-Canet is a powerful, impressively constituted wine. Dark, vibrant and sensual in the glass, the 2023 is somber and mysterious in bearing. Black plum, gravel, lavender, graphite and licorice all meld together in the glass. More than anything else, the 2023 is incredibly well put together. [...] This is a gorgeous and hugely promising Pontet-Canet. I especially admire its finely cut precision and soaring aromatics. »
    Martin : 93-95/100 « The 2023 Pontet Canet, [...] has a very pure bouquet with dark cherries, blackcurrant and touches of vanilla, cohering over the course of ten minutes in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, with very supple tannins matched by a keen line of acidity. There is plenty of creaminess on the mid-palate, fine grip and a pinch of black pepper toward the finish. Very fine. »

    Intended for very long ageing in the cellar (at least 10 years even in small vintages), the wines of Léoville-Las Cases represent in each vintage one of the most perfect and purest expressions of the Médoc vineyard. As Wine Advocate has written, "Léoville-Las Cases looks more and more like Lafite rather than its close neighbour Latour".

    Every vintage, Léoville-Las Cases is one of the contenders for the title of "best Bordeaux of the year", as once again with its 2020, rated 98+/100 by M. Galloni "Las Cases is one of the wines of the 2020 vintage, there is no doubt about that" and 99-100/100 by the Revue du Vin de France "a superlative wine for its depth, richness, but above all its definition".

    See the technical sheet

    Revue du Vin de France : 97-98/100 « Composé à 96 % de cabernets, ce 2023 est fantastique de définition et de puissance. La matière, tout en muscle, est éclatante, juteuse et les tanins sont parfaitement extraits. Mais c’est une fois encore la finale qui impressionne par son allonge et son éclat. » 
    Quarin : 97/100
     
    « Nez intense, fin, pur, fruité et subtil. Plus floral que d'habitude. [...] Ample à l'attaque, juteux en milieu de bouche et complexe dans ses arômes, le vin prend ses aises. Puis il subjugue éclatant de fruits, caressant, en nous offrant une grande finale séveuse et profonde, au grain de tannin fin. »
    Galloni : 94-97/100 « The 2023 Léoville Las Cases is a wine of understatement and class. [...] It's a rather intellectual Las Cases, a wine with tremendous potential, but also a wine that is quite reserved at this early stage. Time in the glass brings out hints of blueberry, graphite, spice and mocha. It will be interesting to see where this goes. »
    Martin : 95-97/100 « This has a very precise bouquet, and, like the Clos du Marquis, it is imbued with an attractive estuarine element- aromatics that transport the imbiber to the banks of the Gironde. [...] This is a more linear Las-Cases than recent vintages, conveying a sense of "seriousness" toward the almost saturnine finish. Impressive in terms of persistence, this is a worthy follow-up to the magnificent 2022, but it will demand patience. »

    Nénin is like Léoville-Las Cases (same owner): a great wine, straight, tight, with a lot of length and always excellent ageing potential. In great shape in the last vintages, as Bettane&Desseauve underlines "In constant progress for its structural and aromatic precision, it is now in the court of the greatest".

    See the technical sheet

    Revue du Vin de France : 93-95/100 « Étonnant d’ouverture, ce 2023 offre un style épanoui. Nous retrouvons l’expression classique de Nénin, avec un fruit bien mûr sans excès. 3 % de cabernet-sauvignon entrent cette année dans l’assemblage, attribuant un caractère impérial et noble à l’ensemble. Ils se perçoivent surtout en bouche, avec un toucher pulpeux mais moins riche qu’à l’accoutumée, et surtout une acidité plus soulignée. Un style convivial qui pourrait s’exprimer au mieux dès la prime jeunesse. »
    Bettane & Desseauve : 95/100 ♥ Coup de cœur 
    « C’est la première année où 3 % de cabernet-sauvignon se marient parfaitement aux 30 % de cabernet franc, ce qui donne encore plus de longueur et de finesse au vin. Notes de fleurs poivrées et petite touche saline qui relance l’ensemble. »
    Quarin : 94/100 
    « Nez intense, fin, pur, au fruité mûr. Ensemble subtil que je qualifie pour la première fois de complexe. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, savoureux au milieu, avec du goût et un toucher noble, le vin évolue délicieux, complet et long. Une grande réussite. »
    Galloni : 92-94/100 « The 2023 Nénin is a classy wine that marries power with nuance. Cabernet Franc plays a prominent role here, and that comes through in its aromatic presence and overall feel. There's also a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, which no doubt contributes to the wine's profile as well. Rose petal, mocha, spice, licorice, leather and cedar are all laced together in this powerhouse Pomerol. I can't wait to see where this goes. »
    Martin : 90-92/100 « It is the first vintage including 3% Cabernet Sauvignon from a parcel located near Trotanoy. There is quite an attractive marine/sea spray element in the aromatics that lends freshness, certainly elevating it above the Fugue. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh entry and fine acidity, quite saline in the mouth with a liberal sprinkling of black pepper on the finish. »

    With remarkable consistency, Potensac has been one of the most regular crus bourgeois in the northern Médoc for 30 years, proof of the know-how of the Léoville-Las Cases team (same owner). Its ability to age is always surprising, even and especially in the "early years".

    See the technical sheet

    Revue du Vin de France : 91-93/100 « La proportion de cabernets monte progressivement et le vin prend une dimension plus stricte, mais aussi plus racée. Tendu, mais avec du volume et des tanins structurants, il s’inscrit comme un Potensac de garde. » 
    Quarin : 89/100
    « Couleur sombre et pourpre. Nez aromatique, au fruité mûr. Bouche juteuse, savoureuse, à la saveur franche de fruits mûrs. Finale de longueur normale. Tannicité enrobée. »
    Galloni: 91-93/100 « The 2023 Potensac is a seriously beautiful wine that shows just how complex and nuanced wines from this property can be. Crushed flowers, spice, red/purplish fruit, rose petal and mint are some of the notes that lift from the glass. Bright saline tones underpin the mid-palate and finish. This is one of the most complete young Potensacs I can recall tasting. »
    Martin : 90-92/100
    « The 2023 Potensac has a well-defined nose: predominantly black fruit, with touches of seaweed in the background. I warm to it more with acquaintance, and it gradually coheres. The palate is medium- bodied with pliant tannins and a fine line of acidity. Silky-smooth in texture, you can tell that there is some quality new oak on the finish, which is simpatico with the fruit. It's a good, solid Potensac that will require three or four years in bottle. »

A true artist's wine, absent from the guides but that informed amateurs know well.
