The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 92/100 “This is a very greedy, deliciously fruity wine with undeniable charm.”

Vinous (N.Martin - November 2023): 91/100 “The 2021 Ormes de Pez is quite striking on the nose, brinier than i recall from barrel, with lifted blackberry and boysenberry fruit and a touch of balsamic. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, again, very saline in the mouth and slightly granular in texture, with black olive tapenade toward the finish. Quite feisty at the moment, give this three or four years in bottle.”

See the technical sheet

The 2023 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 94/100 “Meyney 2023 is serious but not austere; a deep, concentrated wine that is very smooth yet retains excellent balance. The finish concludes with a lovely after-taste of black fruits, accompanied by elegant tannins.”

Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 93/100 “The 2023 Meyney is every bit as convincing as it was en primeur. Dark and quite savory, the 2023 has a lot to offer. Gravel, incense, tobacco, licorice, dried herbs, chocolate and pressed lavender infuse this mid-weight Saint-Estèphe with a good deal of character. Beams of tannin shape the insistent, driving finish.”

J-M Quarin (March 2026): 93/100 "A beautiful dark red with black highlights. Intense nose, with pure, ripe and fresh fruit. Mellow on the palate, the wine develops into a full-bodied wine, with a fine richness that constantly runs across the palate. It finishes long, with very well-coated tannins and noble accents in the aroma. A result that makes you want to drink it. A great success."

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 91/100 "The 2023 Meyney has an open, expressive nose with more red fruit than its appellation peers, raspberry and wild strawberry mixed with loam, later hints of blackberry. The palate is medium-bodied, with grainy tannins on the entry. Fine density, showing more grip than in barrel, with an earthy and quite sustained finish. There is promise here."

Le Point (May 2026) : 16/20 “Cassis, soft on the palate, fresh, light, beautifully integrated, with a lively finish.”

Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2027) : 95/100

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “A dense wine, still a little under the influence of its wood, but with potential. Prieur, much more supple, can be drunk now."

Vinous (N.Martin - November 2023): 92/100 “The 2021 Meyney, which has been on a strong run of form of late, has a lovely bouquet with vivid red berry fruit, crushed stone and orange rind scents that are focused and lively. The palate is medium-bodied with a structured opening (as you would expect), more fruit concentration than its peers and a truffle-tinged finish. This will cruise nicely over the next 15 to 20 years.”

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 91/100

En Magnum (September–October–November): 92/100 “The red fruit comes through with depth, enhanced by spicy notes. Well-structured on the palate, it shows great ageing potential.”

The 2020 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (September 2023): 95/100 “The wine is solidly constituted but also very racy, and finds its balance. It has plenty of substance and superb tannin definition, which harmonize on the finish.”

Vinous (N.Martin - November 2024): 93/100 “The 2020 Meyney has a crisp, focused and detailed bouquet with precise blackberry, blueberry and cedar scents that are almost Pauillac in style. The palate is medium-bodied with impressive concentration on the entry, layers of licorire-tinged black fruit and peppery finish that wants to make a statement; But it's just a bit squidgy. It will require five or six years in bottle just to shave its edges.”

J-M Quarin (June 2023): 92/100 “Dark, intense and beautiful color. Very aromatic, fruity, creamy and slightly truffled nose. Meticulous on entry, refined to the touch, very aromatic, the wine develops on a graceful general bearing. It melts in the finish, fragrant, long, sappy and very good”.

The 2018 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (december 2022): 94/100 “This wine has a fantastic terroir, worthy of a classified growth. This explains why it enjoys an admirable reputation, well-deserved in view of the many great wines that have been produced here. Some very fine old vintages can still be found (such as the admirable 1986 or 1989). However, the château doesn't make wines for wine-lovers in a hurry, like the 2019s or 2018s; a decade in the cellar is essential to fully enjoy them.”

Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2021): 93/100 "The 2018 Meyney is every as impressive as it was en primeur. Technical Director Anne Le Naour has done a terrific job in reining in some of the excess weight and power of previous vintages, but without sacrificing richness. Classy and layered, Meyney boasts fabulous depth and tons of character. Ripe red/purplish fruit, spice, blood orange, smoke and incense are some of the many aromas and flavors that mesh together.[...] The 2018 Meyney is a wine of immense oleasure. Best of all, it is tremendous value."

The 2014 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2020): 93/100 "The delightful 2014 Meyney marks a year when winemaker Anne Le Naour and her team raised theier game once more. A nose of lovely red berry fruit mixed with wilted rose petals and cedar gains intensity with aeration. The palate demonstrates much finer tannins than previous vintages, well-pitched acidity and superb precision on the classically styled finish. This is just entering its drinking plateau."

See the data sheet

The 2012 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2022): 90/100 "The 2012 Meyney offers mainly red fruit on the nose laced with soy and peppery notes, moderate in terms of complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, quite structured with good weight, though it is missing some precision towards the finish that feels a tad bitter."

The 2023 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 92/100 “The Marquis, with its smoother, rounder flavour, is obviously more approachable and will open up more quickly. It is delicious too.”

Vinous (A. Galloni – mars 2026) : 93/100 « Le Marquis de Calon Ségur 2023 est un vin joyeux et engageant, à déguster dès maintenant et pendant une dizaine d’années. Charnu et juteux, le 2023 est plutôt extraverti, tout en conservant une belle moyenne de corps. Herbes grillées, menthol, cuir neuf, réglisse et sauge occupent le devant de la scène. Ce Marquis à dominante merlot est un véritable régal pour les yeux. »

J-M Quarin (March 2026): 92/100 "It received “my highest score given to this vintage in Primeurs” and this has been confirmed. Black colour. Intense nose with lovely ripe fruit aromas. Creamy and spicy (cardamom) nuances when swirled in the glass. Meticulous on the palate, very aromatic in the middle, juicy, the wine develops with a noble unfolding and a rounded profile. Pleasant and delicious overall. The best ever made! Well done!"

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 91/100 “The 2023 Le Marquis de Calon Ségur has a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, clean and precise, classic in style with estuarine/briny scents in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins but there is still a firm backbone to this Deuxième Vin, and it gently fans out on the graphite-tinged finish. One of the best Le Marquis in recent years.”

Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2027) : 93/100

The 2023 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 94/100 “The 2023 Phélan Ségur is superb. Dark and expansive on the palate, the 2023 offers up a gorgeous mélange of black-toned fruit, gravel, incense, lavender, dried herbs and mocha. Rich yet light on its feet, the 2023 is pure seduction. Phélan Ségur is one of the great values in wine. Recent vintages have been especially fine. The 2023 is certainly no exception.”

J-M Quarin (March 2026): 90/100 "Dark, intense colour. Moderately aromatic nose with ripe fruit. Delicate on the attack, meticulous in the middle, the wine develops pleasantly and smoothly, with flavour and fine tannins. It's good."

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 93/100 "The 2023 Phélan Ségur is quite backward on the nose at first, less forthcoming than some of its peers. It eventually opens with blackberry, violet and crushed strawberry, still just a little confit-like in character. The palate is medium-bodied, with firm tannins on the entry. Good body and weight, plenty of fruit concentration but tightly wound on the finish. Afford this four or five years in bottle and you will be rewarded."

Le Point (May 2026) : 16.5/20 “Blackcurrant and elderflower jelly, velvety on the palate, intense yet smooth, with a zesty finish.”

See the technical sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 94/100 "The 2022 Phélan Ségur is fabulous, perhaps a little on the ripe side, but still notable. Black cherry, gravel, scorched earth, cloves and licorice explode onto the palate. Virile and brooding, Phélan Ségur screams with character and personality."

J-M Quarin (February 2025): 93/100 "Dark, intense colour. Moderately aromatic nose, with ripe, spicy fruit. Delicate on the palate, melting in the middle and above all particularly fragrant, the wine evolves deliciously, stretching out over fine tannins to a very fine, savoury finish. A very different profile to that seen for many years before."

La Revue du Vin de France (December 2025): 95/100 "Rightly recognised as one of the best unclassified wines in the Médoc and masterfully managed, this magnificent, beautifully located estate has been going from strength to strength for several vintages and, with this 2022, has produced a truly great wine that demonstrates its full potential. A wine that is both refined and complete, the most profound we have tasted here."

See the technical sheet

The 2020 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - November 2024): 96/100 “The 2020 Phélan Ségur has a very well-defined and seductive bouquet. There's real complexity here, with ebullient red fruit, crushed stone and dried rose petal scents, revealing more graphite aromas with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, harmonious and poised, with very fine tannins, a keen line of acidity and a very svelte and persistent finish. This is a wine that seems unaware of just how good it is."

J-M Quarin (March 2023): 91/100 “Dark, intense and beautiful color. Very aromatic nose, with ripe, fresh fruit, even a touch cold. Juicy on entry, well-built in the middle, tasty, the wine melts in the finish, juicy, pleasant, without any tannic angle. Very good length."

See the technical sheet

The 2023 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 92/100 “Pagodes, much like a fine wine, displays lovely fruitiness, great delicacy and freshness, without quite offering the same depth.”

Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 93/100 “Bold and sumptuous, the 2023 Les Pagodes de Cos is a very sexy wine. Racy contours wrap around a core of dark red/purplish fruit, spice, new leather, mocha, pomegranate and cloves. This rich, heady Saint-Estèphe should start drinking well in another year or two. In 2023, Pagodes is quite the extrovert.”

J-M Quarin (March 2026): 93/100 "Dark, intense and beautiful colour. Moderately intense nose. Hints of black fruit enhanced by a background of hazelnuts. Develops fresher and more liquorice notes when swirled in the glass. Delicate on the palate, flavourful in the middle, with a slow and fleshy development, the wine caresses the palate continuously. It finishes fragrant and rich with good length."

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 91/100 "The 2023 Les Pagodes de Cos is a step up from the G d'Estournel this year, with more expressive and slightly riper blackberry and blueberry scents laced with light violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine but quite firm tannins that frame the pure black fruit laced with subtle briny notes. Fine length, quite strict and linear in style, I would afford this three to four years in bottle."

See the technical sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin – January 2026): 90/100 “The 2022 Les Pagodes de Cos does not quite deliver the same complexity as La Dame de Montrose on the nose: clean fruit, just a little predictable by comparison. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry. Grippy and quite bold towards the liquorice-tinged finish, there is just a patina of herbaceousness on the aftertaste.”

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 93/100 "The 2022 Les Pagodes de Cos is an elegant, sophisticated wine, notwithstanding its natural textural richness. Black cherry, licorice, leather, incense, chocolate and espresso all saturate the palate. Even with all of its intensity and volume, the 2022 has just enough freshness to keep things somewhat in check. This is a very serious second wine, if that term can even be used."

J-M Quarin (February 2025): 93/100 "Deep, beautiful dark colour. Intense, fine, fruity and pure nose. Meticulous on the palate, very aromatic in the middle, with a lovely touch, the wine melts on the palate, juicy, towards a seductive finish, with present, enveloping tannicity. Very good."

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 91/100

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 92/100 “Les Pagodes also relies on a high proportion of Merlot, resulting in a suave wine with frank, juicy fruit and a beautiful roundness on the palate.”

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 90/100 “The 2021 Les Pagodes de Cos is a big, potent wine. A blast of plum, blackberry, espresso, chocolate and licorice is dialed up to the maximum. Reader's will find an explosive, almost shockingly full-throttle wine for the year. This feels a bit bombastic to me.”

The 2020 vintage in the press:

Jean-Marc Quarin (September 2023): 93/100 “Dark, intense, youthful color. Moderately aromatic nose, with ripe fruit. Soft on entry, very aromatic in the middle, with a full, fleshy body, the wine glides across the palate, long and sappy. The sensations delivered accelerate in the last third of the palate. It's long and very good. "

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2022): 93/100 "The 2020 Les Pagodes de Cos is dark, sumptuous and super-expressive. There is an element of mystery to the 2020, it's a wine that is not ready to show all of its charms just yet. Ripe dark cherry, plum, new leather, licorice, tobacco, incense and dried herbs all build nicely in a Pagodes that balances fruit richness and energy."

See the data sheet

The 2023 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 94/100 “The 2023 vintage expresses the softness of the Merlot grapes and all the smoothness of the vineyard, with ageing that lends it a slight roundness. A classic Haut-Marbuzet, in the style that has made it so successful.”

J-M Quarin (March 2026): 93/100 "Dark red with black highlights. Good intensity. Very aromatic and subtle nose. Superb notes of raspberries mingled with oak. Vanilla when swirled in the glass. Soft on the attack, smooth on the mid-palate, with a long finish, this wine scores points on the finish with its length, flavor, and fragrance. Its aromas delight the palate, even when served with food today."

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 92/100 "The 2023 Haut-Marbuzet has a lively, fresh and vibrant bouquet that springs from the glass. Well-defined with blackberry, cedar and wild strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with vivacious red cherry and strawberry notes, quite smooth in texture with veins of blue fruit surfacing toward the finish. Good potential and a quite lovely Saint-Estèphe."

Le Point (May 2026) : 17/20 “Black berries, a smooth palate, velvety, juicy tannins, and a spicy finish.”

Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2027) : 94/100

See the technical sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026): 96/100 "What if the 2022 vintage produced the best Haut-Marbuzet ever? More defined than the 1982, denser than the 1990, it is a wine of admirable seduction, but also depth. Its tannin gain is magnificent, offering an irresistibly silky finish. It is set to age for 20 years."

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2025): 93/100 "The 2022 Haut-Marbuzet has a refined, finely delineated bouquet with black cherry, bilberry, orange rind and light leathery scents that unfold in the glass. The palate is well balanced with pliant, saturated tannins. As I wrote in my primeur note, this is a less bold and concentrated Haut-Marbuzet. Instead, one finds more precision and terroir expression, especially on the creamy-textured and persistent finish. This is excellent."

J-M Quarin (February 2025): 94/100 "Black colour. Intense nose, with fresh, ripe fruit. Delicious on the palate, with a fine touch that caresses the palate and melts into subtle aromas and a fine grain of persistence. Very good and hard to spit out. The best recent vintage I know.Open young!"

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2025): 93/100 "The 2022 Haut-Marbuzet has a refined, finely delineated bouquet with black cherry, bilberry, orange rind and light leathery scents that unfold in the glass. The palate is well balanced with pliant, saturated tannins. As I wrote in my primeur note, this is a less bold and concentrated Haut-Marbuzet.

J-M Quarin (February 2025): 94/100 "Black colour. Intense nose, with fresh, ripe fruit. Delicious on the palate, with a fine touch that caresses the palate and melts into subtle aromas and a fine grain of persistence. Very good and hard to spit out. The best recent vintage I know.Open young!"

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 94/100

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 94/100 “True to form, Haut-Marbuzet has produced a charming 2021, a silky wine with a caressing texture and smooth tannins. The Merlot grapes give it the roundness and smoothness that have made it such a success”.

Vinous (N.Martin - November 2023): 91/100 “The 2021 Haut-Marbuzet has gained some exuberance since I tasted the barrel sample. Today it's very pure and quite seductive, with black cherry and blueberry fruit and hints of vanilla pod emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy, ripe fruit and a fine bead of acidity, but perhaps it just misses a little complexity on the finish. Otherwise, I have no complaints about this Haut-Marbuzet at all.”

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 94/100

The 2016 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin – February 2026): 92/100 “The 2016 Haut-Marbuzet has an open-knit bouquet with brambly red fruit, black tea and raspberry coulis aromas, gently unfolding in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a pinch of cracked black pepper, quite linear towards the finish, but demonstrating commendable precision.”

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2020): 90/100 "The 2016 Haut-Marbuzet has a straightforward bouquet of brambly red fruit, a little rustic in style but gaining finesse with a little toughness toward the finish."

See the technical sheet

The 2023 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (September 2026) : 90/100 “A soft, appealing wine that is less well-defined than it was as a primeur. Its smooth, supple profile makes it an enticing wine, but the palate, which is medium-bodied, reveals slightly muted fruit.”

JM Quarin (March 2026): 93/100 "Dark, intense color. Very intense nose, with pure, ripe fruit. Subtle. Meticulous on the palate, very aromatic in the middle, with a mellow and flavorful body, the wine evolves in a way that is both smooth and tight. It has a long and fragrant finish. Just wait for it. It's very good."

See the technical sheet

The 2023 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 94/100 “The first vintage produced by the Cos d’Estournel team. The wine possesses great charm, structure and a smooth, balanced fruitiness, with a lively finish and remarkable precision. The wine has become more rounded and gained in silkiness.”

Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 92/100 “The 2023 Cos Labory is the first vintage made by Cos d'Estournel Technical Director Dominique Arangoïts. A big, broad-shouldered wine, Cos Labory is more about virile power than finesse. Dark-toned fruit, gravel, incense, licorice and bittersweet chocolate are front and center. The larger grain of the tannin vis-à-vis Cos d'Estournel is impossible to miss."

J-M Quarin (March 2026): 94/100 "Dark, intense color. Very aromatic, refined, fruity, fresh, and pure nose. Hints of licorice. Full-bodied on the palate, with elegance and depth throughout the tasting, the wine finishes deep and very fruity, with refined, sappy tannins. It's superb! The best ever made with the 2022 vintage. Bravo!" Outsider

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 88/100 "The 2023 Cos Labory, the debut vintage under Michel Reybier's ownership (of neighbor Cos d'Estournel), has a relatively light nose with blackberry and tobacco scents, just missing the complexity of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, a little pinched toward the finish that feels just a bit conservative and short."

Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2027) : 92/100

See the technical sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026): 95/100 "A transitional vintage between the old and new owners, the 2022 is a great success, faithful to the spirit of this always accessible, never ostentatious but well-balanced cru. A wine with lovely fruit, brightness and finesse. It will be perfect in a decade. "

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2025): 91/100 "The team under Dominique Arangoïts only conducted the bottling for the 2022 Cos Labory after its acquisition by Michel Reybier. There is a certain strictness on the nose, with touches of melted tar infusing the black fruit tones on the palate. This is a little introverted in style with fluidity that i like. It's not overly complex, yet balanced with decent length. Fine."

J.M Quarin (February 2025): 94/100 "Intense dark red colour. Very aromatic nose, with ripe fruit. Hints of ink and cream. Tender on the attack, then fat in the middle, the wine caresses the palate. It develops into a melting wine, rich in flavours, with a well-coated tannic structure. Long and very good."

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2027) : 90/100

Amazing value for money in 2016.

See the data sheet

The 2016 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2020): 91/100 "The 2016 Cos-Labory has a lovely bouquet, quite forward and open, offering brambly black fruit laced with violet. The medium-bodied palate presents supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, and tobacco and cedar toward the classically styled finish, which displays impressive persistance. This is a wine indicative of a château that is imrpoving, and it suggests that the hill of Cos might have two Saint-Estèphe wines worth hunting down."

The 2014 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2018): 90/100 "The 2014 Cos-Labory has a slightly pinched bouquet at first, gradually opening with blackberry and briary scents, just a touch of graphite the palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, sappy black fruit laced with graphite and black pepper, quite harmonious wth a crisp and posed, satisfying finish. Excellent, traditional Saint-Estèphe and perhaps one of the best Cos-Labory I have tasted thus far."

See the technical sheet

See the technical sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026): 98/100 "Since the en primeur tasting, the wine has mellowed. From the nose, it imposes its power and the maturity of its fruit. A massive, full-bodied, generous and concentrated wine. It is balanced by the freshness and energy that emerge on the finish. Best left to age in the cellar for at least ten years."

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 92+/100 "The 2022 Calon Ségur is a young, raw powerhouse with huge tannins. Today, I find the 2022 impenetrably compact and hard to read. Then again, Calon Ségur was quite similar en primeur, so I can't say I am terribly surprised. For the time being, the 2022 is somewhat of a mystery."

J.M Quarin (February 2025): 97/100 "Black colour. Intense, fine, fruity nose, closer to fresh fruit than black fruit, which makes it a little lively. Meticulous on the entry and then very fragrant in the middle, with a fine fatness that runs across the palate, the wine seems to me a little firmer than expected in its final course, even if it remains very aromatic and long."

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2027) : 96/100
