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

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."

See the technical sheet

The 2023 vintage in the press:

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.”

The 2023 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 90/100 "The 2023 La Dame de Montrose has a much lighter, airier bouquet compared to the previous vintage, with tobacco-tinged black fruit, hints of liquorice and sea spray. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh entry, fine tannins, quite bright and tensile, with noticeable acidity and salinity keeping this on its toes toward the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle, and you will have a fine Deuxième Vin."

The 2023 vintage in the press:

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."

The 2022 vintage in the press:

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 2022 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026) : 95/100 "Very elegant and balanced, with magnificent tannins. A great bottle for decades to come."

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:

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 (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 2019 vintage in the press:

J-M Quarin (March 2022): 93/100 “Pointed out as my best note in Primeurs, this wine confirms this status in the finish. Dark, intense color. Very aromatic nose, with ripe, spicy fruit.”

See the data sheet

The 2023 vintage in the press:

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."

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 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 2018 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2022): 95/100 “2018 is even more spectacular than 2017 with a more intense heart on the palate and still that lovely freshness on the finish.”

En Magnum (April 2021): 95/100 “Always this aromatic nobility for the cru that imposes the power of its terroir and great ripeness of the grapes. Suave, magnificent texture, on a par with the best crus classés. A great success.”

The 2016 vintage in the press:

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."

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."

The 2022 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (September 2025): 94/100 "The wine is supported by lovely fruit, with finesse, beautiful elegance and tannins that are still a little pronounced on the finish. Nothing to worry about, as a few years in the cellar will allow them to mellow. We will then find a refined Lafon-Rochet."

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 96/100 "The 2022 Lafon-Rochet is pure class. Silky, aromatic and gracious, Lafon-Rochet is quite possibly the most under-the-radar Saint-Estèphe. Bright blue/purplish fruit, lavender, sage, mint and spice are all beautifully delineated. A wine of sublime elegance and class, Lafon-Rochet is exquisite in 2022."

J-M Quarin (février 2025): 95/100 « Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez très aromatique, pur, fin, fruité, se développant complexe à l'agitation du verre et très cabernet sauvignon. Juteux en entrée de bouche, particulièrement savoureux au milieu, le vin avance caressant, avec des saveurs complexes dans la persistance. Longue finale séveuse et profonde. C'est superbe. »

The 2023 vintage in the press:

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."

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."

The 2019 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (December 2022): 94/100 “This is a bargain not to be missed. This discreet cru classé, in the shadow of the stars Cos d'Estournel, Montrose or now Calon Ségur, has been playing its part with precision for years. Tastings of the 2005, 2012 and 2019 show that the wines are more than serious, in a style that is always balanced and classically Médoc. A mark of great confidence."

J-M Quarin (March 2022): 92/100 “The wine moves forward with savor, gaining flavor from the middle to the finish, all without ever marking the tannin. Good length. A superb Outsider.”

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."
