2023 Futures

All prices are including VAT but excluding transport.
Please see below "Futures campaign".

The logo "bio" indicates the wine in organic culture in official under reserve of certification after bottling.

The campaign "Futures 2023" will stop on 2025 July 31st, in the limit of the available stock.

In this category, we offer you the wines, renowned or not, which were not in our selection last year:

• either because they have been created recently;
• or because their price has become attractive again;
• or because they raised their quality standards;
• or because they produced very little or nothing the previous year.

In any case, they deserve your attention as they succeed to retain our attention. We bet that they will stay for a long time in our selection!

    Revue du Vin de France : 96-99/100 « À l’aveugle, la finesse et la tension de ce cru emblématique de Sauternes nous transportent à Barsac ! L’incarnation semble cette année encore plus aboutie, grâce à ce que nous percevons comme un surcroît de profondeur. La distinction évidente du vin, ses détails précieux mais exprimés avec la plus élégante réserve affirment avec éclat la pertinence de cette évolution stylistique. »
    Quarin : 96/100 « Nez intense, fin, fruité et subtil. Nuances de poire, d'épices et de menthe. Cristallin en entrée de bouche, fondant et aérien au milieu, le vin évolue profond dans la seconde partie du palais, avec les nuances complexes décrites au nez. Très longue persistance. Ensemble envoûtant. » 
    Martin : 92-94/100 « Guiraud 2023, now made by former Yquem winemaker Sandrine Garbay, has a rather reticent nose at first, opening up to aromas of orange marrow and pear. [...] It is a little spicier than its peers - jam and ginger on the stem, with more peach on the finish. Harmonious and balanced.»

    Château Puyblanquet has been the historic property of the Malet de Roquefort family (Ch. La Gaffelière) since 1819, and was unfortunately sold in 1959 as part of an inheritance. In 2021, it was finally returned to its original owner. This 19-hectare single vineyard, located on a clay-limestone hillside in Saint-Étienne de Lisse, 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 for which Ch. La Gaffelière is renowned.

    Quarin : 92/100 « Et voici que ce millésime fait mieux que le précédent, c'est dire si la reprise en main de cette propriété depuis 2020 fait bouger les lignes. Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, au fruité pur et profond. Bouche tout en minutie tactile, savoureuse et grasse, évoluant complexe entre le milieu et la finale; Très bonne longueur. C'est superbe. »
    Galloni : 87-89/100 « The 2023 Puyblanquet is powerful, deep and resonant. A burly Saint-Émilion, the 2023 packs a pretty serious punch. Red/purplish fruit, rose petal, spice and menthol are all dialed up in this pretty wine. »
