The 2023 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (December 2025): 95/100 "The limestone dimension bursts forth on the nose, followed by floral nuances. Perfectly styled tannins give this 2023 a magnificent texture. Great depth for serene development. A property taken over in 2021 by Pingus (Ribera del Duero, Spain) oenologist Peter Sisseck and Swiss businessman Silvio Denz in 2010, it is climbing to the top of the Saint-Émilion hierarchy."

The 2022 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026) : 94/100 Coup de ♥ "Still sullen, this 2022 asserts its striking density. The still combative tannins deserve three to four years of cellaring to release a ripe and solid substance. The limestone dimension is strongly present on the finish."

See the data sheet

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (2026 Guide): 92/100 "In this rather late vintage, Rocheyron bursts onto the scene with an extremely mouth-watering straightforwardness."

See the data sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

En Magnum (March–April–May 2026): 97/100 “Refined and silky, with vigor and lively energy, it combines aromatic persistence and elegance, featuring a briny, juicy finish accented by peppery floral notes. A fine achievement.”

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026): 95/100 Coup de ♥ "The proportion of Cabernet Franc (35%) and Sauvignon (15%) brings a particular freshness to this colourful and concentrated 2022. It manages to retain its brightness, elegance in its texture and an extremely flavourful, full finish. It will evolve with panache and serenity."

J-M Quarin (February 2025): 94/100 “Intense, dark-red crimson color. Moderately aromatic nose, fruity and truffled. Full-bodied on the attack, fleshy in the mid-palate, the wine melts on the palate, juicy and more united than ever in its unfolding. This is what makes it so attractive. Good length with no tannic angle."

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2025 ) : 94/100 “The 2022 Canon La Gaffelière, from Von Neipperg's stable, needed time to open in the glass. Initially understated, it offers brambly red fruit, undergrowth and limestone scents that gain cohesion with aeration. The palate is fresh and vibrant with chalky tannins and a silver bead of acidity. It's taut and linear yet with ample tart red fruit enlivening the finish. This classically-styled, slightly peppery Canon La Gaffelière should age will in bottle. It is excellent.”

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 97/100

The 2019 vintage in the press:

En Magnum (March–April–May 2026): 97/100 “Fresh, deep tannins marked by the 39% Cabernet Franc and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon. Behind the toasty notes on the nose lie black fruits and orange zest that burst through on the finish. This is the height of cru refinement!”

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2023): 93/100 “The 2019 Canon-La-Gaffelière is quite punchy and bold on the nose. Blackberry and raspberry fruit, cedar and mint emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins, quite plush yet cohesive, fanning out towards the velvety finish with a brush of white pepper on the aftertaste. One of the more approachable Saint-Emilion wines in this vintage”.

La Revue du Vin de France (September 2022): 95/100 “The discreet charm of this wine with its creamy tannins is exciting. The cru reveals itself at its best in dry, hot years thanks to the composition of its clays. The southern exposure is reflected in the wine's depth. Its pronounced black fruit is densely packed with tannin that remains fresh thanks to the Cabernet Franc massales. Still under the influence of wood, the wine's rich, well-coated texture and elegant structure are perfumed with a hint of smoke".

The 2022 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026) : 95/100 Coupe de ♥ "The 2022 vintage goes beyond Pavie Macquin's usual parameters, particularly in terms of concentration. With its ink-like colour, this still very reserved wine expresses the full maturity of its varietal trio (80% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon). It reveals a magnificent volume on the palate, perfectly polished by its ageing. Not before 2030!"

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 97/100 "The 2022 Pavie Macquin is stellar, as it was en primeur. Inky blue/ purplish fruit, licorice, new leather, spice and plum run through this powerful Saint-Émilion. Silky in the glass, it boasts plush, seamless tannins and fine balance. As always, Pavie Macquin is very sexy-one of the most sensual and hedonistic wines of the vintage."

J-M Quarin (February 2025): 96/100 "Dark, intense purple colour. Very aromatic nose, with ripe, subtle fruit. Delicate on the palate, fragrant in the middle, with a graceful touch despite its strong energy, the wine glides across the palate and lingers for a long time. Very good."

 Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 98/100

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “Much less dense than in 2020, it reveals itself with vigor and frank tension on the palate. The ageing remains measured and distinguished. This vintage of freshness will come into its own over the next few years."

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 94+/100 “The 2021 Pavie Macquin is deep, bold and luscious, but within the smaller-scaled style of the year. It is an intensely aromatic, savory Gran Vin that emphasizes finesse more than sheer power. I admire its understated elegance more than anything else. Bright acids drive through a core of black cherry fruit, mocha, spice, new leather and licorice. This beautifully balanced, harmonious Saint-Emilion captures the essence of the vintage in style. Tasted two times.”

 Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 95/100

The 2019 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2023): 94+/100 "The 2019 Pavie-Macquin is missing a little complexity on the nose, with tertiary scents and touches of dry tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant and fine tannins, pure and silky smooth in style, gradually building so that it exerts gentle grip on the finish. Give it time for the aromatics to evolve."

JM Quarin (March 2022): 95/100 "A deep, intense, beautiful purple colour. Very aromatic, fruity, fresh and truffle-like on the nose. Meticulous on the attack, very flavourful on the palate, full-bodied; the wine develops juicily and powerfully, leading to a long, sap-filled and flavourful finish, accompanied by a touch of austerity, even though the tannins are well-integrated. Very good length. Suitable for ageing.”

See the data sheet

The 2014 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2024): 92/100 “The 2014 Pavie-Macquin is more youthful than the Duffau Lagarosse compared side-by-side, with heightened black cherry and cedar fruit and touches of camphor and pine. This has modest delineation.The palate is medium-bodied, with grainy tannins, modest depth, flavors of red fruit, orange peel and a touch of Moroccan spice. Perhaps a little riper than expected, I'd personally let it age over the next decade. It's one of those rare Saint-Émilions that invites you back for more.”

The 2012 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2019): 95/100 "The 2012 Pavie-Macquin shows how appealing the best wines from this vintage are. Bright, floral and racy, the 2012 is drinking beautifully today. Readers who prefer more aromatic complexity might prefer to cellar the 2012 for another few years, but there is something about the wine's raciness and immediacy that makes it a pure pleasure to taste today."

The 2023 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 96/100 “The 2023 La Gaffelière is gorgeous. Silky, aromatic and nuanced, the 2023 is terrific. It lacks some of the explosive energy of some recent vintages, but that may also reflect the significant presence of Cabernet Franc in the blend. Dark fruit, blood orange, mint and pomegranate are all beautifully delineated. This is a vintage that emphasizes finesse over power. I can't wait to see how it ages.”

JM Quarin (March 2026): 96/100 "Beautiful dark red, intense, with bright highlights. Very aromatic, refined, subtle, and complex nose. Hints of fruit and violet. Powerful when swirled in the glass. Meticulous on the palate, very aromatic in the middle, with a rich texture, the wine slowly develops on the finish, becoming more complex. Long, flavorful, fresh, floral, and subtle finish. It's superb!"

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 95/100 "The 2023 La Gaffelière was deeply impressive out of barrel. Now in bottle, it has a sublime bouquet with precise and focused brambly red fruit, undergirded by fine mineralité and tension. The oak is seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied and silky smooth. Perfectly pitched acidity, this has a surfeit of nascent energy and a brightness on the finish that sets it apart from many. Gifted."

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 99/100 "The 2022 La Gaffelière is fantastic, but it has also closed down considerably post-bottling. Supremely elegant and perfumed, the 2022 is an absolutely stunning wine. Blood orange, pomegranate, spice, white pepper, dried herbs and all sorts of floral overtones soar from the glass. The Franc is so impressive here. I don't expect this magical Saint-Émilion to be ready any time soon. Today, it is a wine of dazzling complexity and purity for the cellar."

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026): 96/100 Coup de ♥ "Unsurprisingly, this grand cru classé stands out clearly thanks to the beautiful range of its dark, impenetrable aromas (black fruits, spices), while offering a well-structured palate with great concentration. Substance and power, all channelled by careful ageing."

J-M Quarin (February 2025): 97/100 "Dark, intense and vivid colour. Very aromatic, fine, fruity and nuanced nose. Subtle on the palate, with great aromatic power, the wine develops with a fine touch towards a long, sappy and complex finish. Very meticulous production. It's very good."

The 2020 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (September 2023): 96/100 “Magnificent concentration, velvety, suave, without the solar excess of this vintage. With aeration in the glass, the expression rises to a crescendo. The refinement of the material gracefully lifts it into the world of the great Saint-Emilions. A chalky, chalky sensation distinguishes the finish”.

Vinous (N. Martin - November 2024): 93+/100 “The 2020 La Gaffelière has a classicaly styled, tertiary, tobacco-scented bouquet that unfolds in a pleasing fashion. The palate is medium-bodied with lighter tannins than its peers, but it's still nicely balanced and pure. A caressing white pepper- and clove - tinged finish lingers in the mouth. It's very fine, but as previously noted, this is quite a backward Saint-Emilion, which explains the plus sign and my lower mark than before.”

The 2019 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (September 2022): 95-96/100 “Defending a classic yet expressive style, built on finesse in the second half of the palate, this cru with its exceptional terroir has not finished surprising. Over the last ten years, the proportion of Merlot has been reduced in favor of Cabernet Franc, which now accounts for 30% of the blend. Grapes from new plantings have brought greater depth to recent vintages, and in particular to this expansive, well-balanced, long-lasting 2019”.

The 2018 vintage in the press:

En Magnum (April 2021): 97/100 “Great purity of definition, both in terms of body and aromatic intensity, precisely restoring an aesthetic and streamlined material, cut with a sense of depth, with a praiseworthy refinement. The very definition of brilliance, class and delicacy - in short, this La Gaffelière is on the verge of greatness."

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2022): 99/100 "The 2018 La Gaffelière is hands down one of the wines of the vintage. Towering in its stature and vertical lift, the 2018 dazzles right out of the gate. Inky dark fruit, mocha, spice, licorice and leather all run through this deep, wonderfully pliant Saint-Émilion. The 2018 is rich, deep and beautifully resonant, with tremendous depth and tons of stature that builds, all framed by beams of supporting minerality that confer vibrancy. La Gaffelière is distinctive, alluring and arresting right out of the gate. It is another magnificent showing from this reborn estate. Magnifique!"

The 2016 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (November 2021): 98/100 “A nose of ripe, precise fruit, with very soft spicy notes and discreet oak. Full-bodied and balanced on the palate, with nicely rounded tannic power. A well-balanced wine that will go a long way."

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2020): 93/100 "The 2016 La Gaffelière has a more savory, perchance more Cabernet Franc-driven bouquet, but one that is well defined, with cedar and sandalwood notes judiciously ticked behind the brambly red fruit. The medium-bodied palate offers supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Fleshy and generous, yet displaying fine backbone and good persistence on the finish. A Saint-Émilion that has finally found its groove."

See the data sheet

The 2011 vintage in the press:

Vinous (I. D'Agata - July 2014): 90/100 "Deep ruby-red. Perfumed red cherry, raspberry, violet and licorice on the nose. Tangy, rich and deep, with vibrant acidity lifting the red fruit and mineral flavors. Finishies smooth, bright and long. I find this offers a rare combination (for 2011) of generosity of texture and grip."

The 2023 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 98/100 “The 2023 Troplong Mondot is one of the truly great wines of 2023. Translucent and also quite powerful, the 2023 screams with class. It's a wine that beautifully reconciles expression of place, vintage and the house style that has been in place since 2017. It's one of the finest wines made here over the last decade, a real rockstar. Graphite, spice, mocha and dried herbs build into the huge, dense finish."

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 96/100 "The 2023 Troplong Mondot has a very well-defined bouquet with quite mineral-driven blackberry and strawberry fruit, incense and light bay leaf aromas. Very focused and terroir-driven. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry, finely chiselled tannins, a silver thread of acidity with a touch of allspice and white pepper on the tender finish. This is more open than the '22 at this stage and will oblige less time in bottle. Excellent."

The 2016 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2020): 93/100 "The 2016 Troplong Mondot is one of the few Saint-Émilion wines to come across as rather overripe on the nose, where prunes and dates infuse the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with dusty black fruit, firm and dense, and a grippy, solid finish. Pavie-Macquin? It commes across brutish at the moment, but it does have the potential to age."

See the technical sheet

The 2023 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 96/100 "The 2023 Clos Fourtet is every bit as impressive as it was en primeur. Layers of dark-toned fruit, leather, incense, mocha and gravel all build over time, leading to an impressively potent, dramatic finish. Readers will find a rich, heady Clos Fourtet. I would cellar it for at least a few years to allow the tannins to soften and the baby fat to melt away. Today, the 2023 is very young and quite primary. Readers should be in no rush.”

J-M Quarin (March 2026): 96/100 "Dark red color with bright highlights. Intense, refined, fruity and subtle nose. Soft nuances when swirled in the glass. Delicate on entry, very aromatic in the middle, with a refined richness across the palate, the wine melts, juicy, sappy and deep in the final seconds. Beautifully noble aromas in the finish. Very good."

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 93/100 “The 2023 Clos Fourtet is very well-defined on the nose, a mixture of red and black fruit, crushed stone, cedar and light, minty aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. Quite citrus-fresh, tensile, a little lower in pH perhaps than its peers, which lends this palpable energy and brightness on the finish. Excellent.”

See the technical sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin – January 2026): 95+/100 “The 2022 Clos Fourtet is tightly wound on the nose, mainly black fruit here, well-integrated oak, a little backward but there is a sense of sophistication that comes through. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe red berry entry, graphite and orange rind. Quite complex and cohesive with a little creaminess towards the finish, this is a Saint-Émilion with much to offer.”

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026) : 98/100 Coup de ♥ "The 2022 vintage shines brightly. We were already singing the praises of this great wine (90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc; 55,000 bottles) during the en primeur tastings. This masterpiece exceeds our expectations. The irresistible velvety texture envelops the tongue, caresses the palate, then soars towards a remarkably energetic finish. An exceptional wine, to be cellared for decades to come."

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 99/100 "The 2022 Clos Fourtet is every bit as compelling as it was en primeur, maybe even a bit more so. Vertical and explosive, the 2022 offers a captivating mix of textural opulence and classic structure. The blend is 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc. One of the key signatures of Clos Fourtet is the presence of Cabernet Sauvignon, which is rarely seen on the Saint-Émilion plateau but seems to add weight and gravitas here. Dark blue fruits, new leather, spice, menthol and espresso stain the palate as the 2022 gradually reveals its considerable pedigree. The 2022 was raised in a mix of 58% once-used barrels, 40% new oak and 2% amphora. More Importantly, it is without question one of the wines of the vintage."

J.M Quarin (February 2025): 97/100 "Dark, intense and beautiful colour. Very aromatic nose, fine, subtle, complex, with ripe fruit that gains in purity and nobility as the glass is shaken. Smooth on the attack, with a refined texture and melting body, the wine glides, caresses and builds to a crescendo in the last third of the palate. It finishes full, long, delicate and deep at the same time. It's superb."

The 2019 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - April 2023) : 93+/100 "The 2019 Clos Fourtet was picked between September 24 and October 10 at 38 hl/ha. This has a more backward, reticent bouquet compared to the '18, coquettishly revealing black cherries and blueberry fruit, with a little more florality. The palate is medium-bodied with velvety tannins, though as I remarked before, it needs a little more precision on the finish that prompts me to be more prudent with my score. Maybe this will improve, hence the plus sign."

La Revue du Vin de France (September 2022): 98/100 “A touch of tobacco, hints of fresh fruit and leaves, a chalky background: the nose offers a beautiful complexity, a promise of future delights. The perfect flesh and just the right amount of brilliance of this 2019 finish to convince us that we are in the presence of one of Saint-Emilion's greatest terroirs. Enhanced by biodymania, it delivers a wine with graphite notes, perfectly vinified. The textured silkiness of the tannin does not mask the power of the vintage. The wine retains the perfectly identifiable length of the vintage."

See the data sheet

The 2010 vintage in the press:

En Magnum (2022): 97/100 “It takes time for the immense personality of Clos Fourtet to reveal itself, that of a deep, sappy grand cru with imperious minerality and impressive length. Certainly one of the great successes of this tasting”.

Vinous (N. Martin - May 2025): 95/100 "This has an impressive nose: an enticing mélange of red and blakc fruit, crushed stone wilted rose petals and tobacco emanating from the Cabernet Sauvignon. The palate is medium-bodied but with real depth, its power counterbalanced by the keen line of acidity. Touches of spicebox, white pepper and mineral define the precise finish that lingers in the mouth. Oustanding."

See the data sheet

The 2005 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - May 2025) : 94/100 "This has an ioutstanding bouquet with vivacious red fruit, brimming with crushed stone, a dash of tobacco and orange rind. Very cohesive and focused. There is a slight Rhône-like personality at almost two decades old. The palte is medium-bodied and very harmonious with white pepper-infused black fruit, hints of sage and chalky finish. I am not quite as effusive as others, but this remains an excellent Clos Fourtet that should mature with grace."

Vinous (A. Galloni - April 2021): 97/100 "The 2005 Clos Fourtet is dramatic, sweeping Saint-Émilion endowed with tremendous depth and unctuous intensity. Dark cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco and woodsmoke build as this rapturous, deeply textured wine shows off its allure. silky, plush and wonderfully expressive, Clos Fourtet is Fabulous in 2005. Bright saline notes, that are such a signature of Saint-Émilion's plateau, balance all of the natural richness of the year.[...] This is a superb effort from the Cuvelier family."

See the technical sheet

The 2023 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 95/100 “The 2023 Quintus is dark, fleshy and inviting. Black cherry, menthol, licorice, dried herbs and a kiss of French oak build as the 2023 gains volume with a bit of time in the glass. As is often the case, the Grand Vin is quite racy and extroverted in feel, and yet all the elements are impeccably put together."

J-M Quarin (March 2026): 96/100 "Dark, intense colour. Very aromatic nose, fine, pure and subtle, developing complexity when swirled in the glass. Hints of vanilla. Full-bodied on the palate, ample yet delicate, the wine develops slowly, rich and complex, towards a grand, fragrant and noble finish. A captivating combination of clarity and flavour. Delicious and incredibly refined."

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 94/100 "The 2023 Quintus has an intense bouquet that errs toward Left Bank in style, well defined with blackberry, crushed stone and touches of citrus fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins, well-judged acidity, fresh and saline with a very harmonious, silky-textured finish that lingers in the mouth. This is a lovely Saint-Émilion that should age gracefully."

See the technical sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

J-M Quarin (February 2025): 97/100 "Dark, intense purple colour. Very aromatic nose, fine, pure, fruity and slightly smoky. Fleshy on the palate, silky to the touch and rich in aromas, the wine evolves juicy, melting, with an elegant touch. After the mid-palate, it grows, fleshes out and goes on to have a long, sappy persistence, never marked by tannin. The estate's densest and most refined vintage, with 41.5% Cabernet Franc."

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 96/100

The 2021 vintage in the press:

J-M Quarin (April 2022): 95/100 “Dark, deep, crimson and lively color. Intense, fine, fruity, pure, subtle and floral nose. Minutious on entry, particularly aromatic in the middle, complex and deep, with class in the touch, the wine gains power between the middle and the finish. It finishes long, suave, sappy and delicious. This is the most accomplished expression I know of in Quintus at this age”.

See the data sheet

The 2020 vintage in the press:

J-M Quarin (February 2024): 96/100 “Dark, intense and beautiful color. More discreet nose than Dragon, with ripe, fresh fruit. Minutious on entry, much fuller in the middle, with fat and a melting body, this wine settles slowly on the palate. Particularly tasty, it returns fresh nuances in the persistence. It's very hard to spit out."

Vinous (N.Martin - November 2024): 94/100 “The 2020 Quintus has a wonderfully hatmonious bouquet with black fruit, briar, a touch of wild mint and beautifully integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins and a fine bead of acidity. It is perhaps modern in style, but even blind, this is just oozes class and sophisticiation. Despite the high alcohol, this manages to pull it all off.”
