The 2023 vintage in the press:

J-M Quarin (March 2026): 97/100 "Intense, refined, fruity, pure, and subtle nose. Develops complex, pleasantly exotic notes when swirled in the glass. Meticulous on the palate, very aromatic in the middle, with a noble touch and a slow, melting finish, the wine grows on the finish, sappy and bursting with fruit. It's impossible to spit out. Rating has risen sharply since the Primeurs."

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 93/100 “The 2023 Calon Ségur, aged entirely in new oak, is quintessential Saint-Estèphe on the nose, with blackberry and wild hedgerow scents, slate and graphite, paradoxically standoffish but luring you in. Impressive delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins. Quite linear in style, a little more peppery than I recollect from barrel, it has an insistent grip and admirable sustain on the aftertaste. Very fine.”

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 2026) : 96/100

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 95/100 “The wine is more closed than its neighbors, with fruit that appears ripe and rich. The nose is tight, intense, with notes of black fruit. At this stage, the palate is also very compact and the finish strict. But we're confident, because the texture is beautiful and it will harmonize.”

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 97/100 and #39 of the Top 100 wines of the year 2024 “A Saint-Estèphe of stature and vertical intensity, the 2021 Calon Ségur dazzles from the very first taste. Spice, menthol, licorice, black cherry, mint and espresso are some of the many notes that build with a bit of coaxing. The 2021 clocks in at a modest 12.9% in alcohol, yet it possesses tremendous density and textural resonance. What a wine! ”

The 2014 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2024): 94/100 “The 2014 Calon Ségur has a fresh, vibrant nose, a little backward and moody, but there's concentration here, just coiled up nicely at the moment. There are touches of iodine and sea spray present. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, juicy tannins, quite dense and fleshy, but there's huge weight and backbone at the back that I think will mature it in style.”

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 96/100 “To its usual breed and depth, Montrose 2021 adds a hint of brilliance and great distinction in its tannins. A powerful wine indeed, but terribly civilized.”

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 96+/100 “The 2021 Montrose is an inward, brooding wine-classic Montrose, in other words, just attenuated in its intensity by the cool growing season. Spice, tobacco, cedar, menthol, scorched earth, gravel andtouch of new oak open over time, but the 2021 is really a wine that requires considerable cellaring to reach its potential. Then again it is Montrose. Elegance meets power here.”

J-M Quarin (April 2022): 96/100 “Minutious on the entry, very aromatic and complex in the middle, the wine grows on the finish, very fresh, very tasty, more floral than usual and yet profound. Great persistence with refined tannicity and more perfumed than usual at this age.”

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 95/100

See the technical sheet

The 2016 vintage in the press:

J-M Quarin (October 2020): 100/100 “Big, deep Cabernet Sauvignon nose evoking the hearth of the fireplace. On the palate, this bottle stands out for its stature in the middle of the palate: the wine never ceases to melt accompanied by an extraordinary meticulousness of touch. The finish is complex and noble, with a juicy character and a burst of madness. Fabulous return on the palate with nuances of black fruit and spice, without ever marking the tannin."

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2019): 99/100 “The 2016 Montrose has a tightly wound bouquet that is extremely well focused. This is one of most pixelated aromatics I can remember on a Montrose at this stage, featuring blackberry, boysenberry and cedar and real mineralité underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with fine density and wonderful salinity. There is tremendous precision with razor-sharp tannin, and a brightness on the finish that is exceptional. This is a Montrose that will comfortably sit alongside the canon of great vintages from this Saint-Estèphe estate. As my score implies, it's up there with the first growths. Stunning."

See the technical sheet

The 2015 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2025): 95/100 "The 2015 Montrose has wonderful lift and vigor on the nose that puts it ahead of its peers. Blackberry, iodine, cedar and greater mineralité come through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins. It's quite fleshy for a Montrose, which renders this one of the more approachable vintages. There' is a keen countervailing line of acidity with a dash of spice on the finish. Excellent."

See the technical sheet

The 2014 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2024): 96/100 “The 2014 Montrose has an engaging, complex bouquet of black fruit, pencil box, pressed violet and warm earth, which gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, with excellent tannins framing the mineral-rich black fruit (in fact, this is one of the most mineral-laden 2014 Left Banks I've tasted), the oak is perfectly integrated and the finish has plenty of panache. A magnificent wine that is just entering its tasting phase.”

En Magnum (2022): 93/100 “Developed aroma of cedar, terribly marked by the microclimate of the gravels on the banks of the Gironde in its apparent suppleness, which hides an excellent body and above all an elegance of mouthfeel and ageing worthy of our expectations.”

See the technical sheet

The 2010 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N.Martin - May 2024): 99/100 “The 2010 Montrose has a show-stopper nose with powerful, intense, mineral-rich black fruit, becoming quite with aeration. Potpourri hints complement tobacco notes. The palate is fresh, vibrant and weighty, yet paradoxically, it has wonderful finesse. There is a symmetry about this Montrose, coupled with a tremendous length that leaves you wanting more. Brilliant.”

J-M Quarin (February 2023): 97/100 “Dark, intense, very slightly evolved color. Nose remarkable for its ripeness and freshness. Smells of black fruits. Elegant woody nuances. Blind tasting, the palate is reminiscent of Château Latour. Fat, powerful, full-bodied, with lots of fruit, it's a marvel. Very tasty finish, legitimately firm, because too young. A chalky nuance in the final persistence. If not, wait two or three years."

En Magnum (2022): 95/100 “Very rich in color and texture, nobly mentholated, with a particular velvety texture where we feel the influence of Jean-Bernard Delmas and the style developed at Haut-Brion. Long, complex, perhaps a little less northern Grand Medoc than the 2018s and 2020s will be.”

See the technical sheet

The 2023 vintage in the press:

J-M Quarin (March 2026): 97/100 "Very aromatic, refined, pure nose. Hints of black fruit, hazelnuts, and spices. Swirling confirms a distinctive and unique aromatic profile. Meticulous on the palate and immediately very fleshy and flavorful, the wine becomes increasingly powerful, leading to a complex finish where everything blends together on a particularly enveloping tannic structure. This is Cos."

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 96/100 "The 2023 Cos d'Estournel has an intense nose with predominantly black fruit, violet and fresh mint emerging with time that gives it a Pauillac-like character. Very well defined as usual, quite sophisticated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, very well balanced with gentle but insistent grip. What I like here is the underlying sapidity that comes through toward the finish, while the sample tasted at the château demonstrated a little more creaminess to the texture. Great length, very composed, delicious and classy Cos d'Estournel."

See the technical sheet

The 2023 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 96/100 "The 2023 Cos d'Estournel, which was bottled in July 2025, was tasted on two visits, showing much better the second in December. It has an intense nose with predominantly black fruit, violet and fresh mint emerging with time that gives it a Pauillac-like character. Very well defined as usual, quite sophisticated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, very well balanced with gentle but insistent grip. What I like here is the underlying sapidity that comes through toward the finish, while the sample tasted at the château demonstrated a little more creaminess to the texture. Great length, very composed, delicious and classy Cos d'Estournel."

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 96/100 “Cos 2021 has an admirable structure, with nerve and depth. A great classic, balanced, silky and easy to digest."

J.M Quarin (February 2024): 96/100

Vinous (N.Martin - November 2023): 93/100 “The 2021 Cos d'Estournel has retained a Cabernet Sauvignon-driven nose, with pencil shaving scents infusing the black fruit, and a touch of dark chocolate and loam coming through with aeration. It is well-defined and composed, though it doesn't have the complexity of some of the great recent vintages from the estate. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins on the entry. Showing modest depth, it's quite sapid, with a touch of brininess to the fruit. This is not flamboyant Cos d'estournel, but it is very well composed and lingers temptingly on the finish. Give five to seven years in bottle.”

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 95/100

See the data sheet

The 2016 vintage in the press:

J-M Quarin (August 2019): 98/100 “The best ever! Dark, intense, purple and beautiful color. Intense, fine, ripe-fruited nose. Powerful. Soft on the attack, then dense and melting, with class in the touch, the wine glides between the middle and the finish, ascending in its unfolding, complex and long. It has a lot of energy, and a lot of taste too."

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2020): 100/100 "In my last sighted review of the 2016 Cos d'Estournel, I wrote: "I suspect it will close down for a period in tis youth". Perhaps it is already beginning to shut down, because though this wine was deeply impressive, it fell just a notch short of ethereal previous bottles, despite its"pixelated black fruit" on the nose and "sublime balance" on the palate. I tasted the wine twice thereafter, though this time with a 4-6 hour decant, and this revealed the Cos d'Estournel that has amazed since I first tasted it out of barrel."

See the data sheet

The 2014 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2024): 93/100 “The 2014 Cos d'Estournel has a wonderful bouquet. Compared directly with Montrose, there is a notch more exuberance and precision, with layers of rich but delineated plummy black fruit laced with rose petals and dark chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. There's a lovely depth of fruit and a sense of symmetry plus sapidity that compels you back for more. Silky texture, this is a Cos d'Estournel that will give a lot of pleasure ine the coming years.”

J-M Quarin (June 2018): 94/100 “Caressing on the attack, tasty in the mid-palate, a tad austere yet pleasant, the wine finishes tasty and a little more marked by tannin than others. Good length."

See the data sheet

The 2012 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2024): 95/100 “All elegance and refinement.”

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2022): 92/100 "The 2012 Cos d'Estournel has a perfumed bouquet with blackberry, cedar, undergrowth and black pepper aromas all well-defined and focused, with more vigour than many of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, good acidity, maybe a tad strict and dry on the finish, yet I admire its intensity and terroir expression. There was some bottle variation here, one bottle dominated by wood, the other more typical Cos d'Estournel with plenty of fruit."

J-M Quarin (June 2018): 94/100 “Soft from the attack, juicy in the middle palate, melting, enveloping and powerful, very tasty, even if the tannin is a bit present, the wine finishes long and sappy.”

See the data sheet

The 2010 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2025): 97/100 "The 2010 Cos d'Estournel is cut from a different cloth to the previous vintage. This is much fresher on the nose and crucially displays more typicité, yet it delivers just as much punch as the 2009. Black fruit comingles with melted tar and smoke. A sprig of wild mint surfaces with continued aeration. The palate possesses immense gravitas and dimension, analogous to a magnificent suspension bridge. It is less ostentatious than the 2009, with firmer grip and greater control and sapidity on the finish. Whilst I can understand some might prefer the 2009, the 2010 Cos d'Estournel is just more... Cos d'Estournel, though be warned, it would still benefit from a couple more years in bottle. Magnificent."

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 90/100 "The 2022 Fugue de Nénin is soft, open-knit and very pretty. Crushed flowers, bright, red-toned fruit, white pepper and spice are nicely lifted in this attractive, mid-weight Pomerol from Nenin."

See the data sheet

The 2020 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (October 2024): 90/100 “The wine is carried by the vitality of its fruit and an ageing process that gives it citrus scents. An invigorating expression of 2020."

See the data sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (December 2025): 93/100 "Biodynamic farming and the quality of the vintage have produced a high-quality 2022. The fruit is brilliant, with a delicious richness. The balance on the palate is marked by a rare sapidity, making the whole delightfully flavourful. The subtle tannins promise twenty years of ageing potential."

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 92/100 "The 2022 Mazeyres is aromatic, bold and racy. Crushed flowers, sage, mint, spice, many of them in cooler spots within Pomerol, which was certainly a help in 2022. As a result, this retained terrific energy. Lifted floral and savory notes extend the clean, bracing finish."

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 92/100

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 92/100 “This Pomerol is a must-have. We find the château's signature style, with the brilliance of fruit that characterizes it.”

Vinous (N.Martin - November 2023): 89/100 “The 2021 Mazeyres has a light nose with brambly red fruit, tertiary scents and forest floor, nicely defined if just missing a bit of vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a sweet and candied opening and fine acidity, blueberry and cassis hints surfacing toward the floral finish. It has a brightness that is perhaps absent in some of its Pomerol peers.”

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 90/100

See the data sheet

The 2018 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2023): 94/100 “Even in the sunniest vintages, the wines retain admirable freshness. Mazeyres 2018 is a brilliant example of this, fitting perfectly into this dynamic of primacy of fruit. Already very appealing, the wine nevertheless possesses real potential for evolution.”

See the data sheet

The 2016 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2018): 91/100 "The 2016 Mazeyres presents an exotic profile laced with bright, high-toned aromatic and super-ripe red fruits. Blood orange, mint and floral notes all run through the wine this a decidedly overt style of pomerol and yet the 2016 remains gracious and medium in body, with the perfume that is typical of sandier soils."

See the data sheet

The 2015 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2017): 91/100 "The 2015 Mazeyres is pretty, savory wine with quite a bit of aromatic intensity that matches its mid-weight personality well. Crushed flowers, mint, rose petal, tobacco and sweet red cherry are all nicely delineated. Silky tannins add finesse to this approachable, mid-weight Pomerol."

See the technical sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 93/100 "The 2022 Bellegrave is powerful, vibrant Pomerol. Graphite, new leather, dark fruit and lavender unfurl in the glass. The 2022 has plenty of energy to match its broas, ample feel. Even with all of its obvious intensity. Bellegrave is so expressive. The blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc works well."

Rated 91/100 by N. MARTIN «The 2020 Bellegrave is well-defiened and poised on the nose, blackberry and briary, hints of truffle unfolding with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a graphite-infused entry. Quite solid and structured, almost like a "mini-Lafleur", with a well-definied and persistent finish that has a splendid minerality. Very Fine » (December 2022)

The 2020 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - December 2022): 91/100 “Bellegrave 2020 is well defined and balanced on the nose, with aromas of blackberry and brioche, and hints of truffle that develop with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, with an entry marked by graphite. Very solid and structured, almost like a “mini-Lafleur”, with a well-defined, persistent finish featuring splendid minerality. Very fine”.
