The 2023 vintage in the press:

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.”

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."

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:

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 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!"

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:

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:

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."

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 2026) : 90/100

See the data sheet

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."

See the technical data sheet

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.”

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! ”

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 94/100

See the data sheet

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 2022 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (2026 Guide): 100/100 “The 2022 impresses from the very first whiff on the nose, unfolding deep, intense notes of fruit and spice. The palate is of immense class, pure and woven with legendary Cabernets. It is a cathedral that imposes its balance, persistence and definition. Simply magical.”

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 100/100 “ The 2022 Montrose is insanely beautiful. That much is obvious. When it might be ready to drink is another question. In recent years, Montrose has acquired notable finesse in its tannins, so that is not an issue. But the 2022 is packed with tremendous density and concentration that will need time to soften. Blackberry, graphite, licorice, lavender and chocolate stain the palate in a stunning, riveting wine of the very highest level. I can only hope to be around when the 2022 starts to drink well! Montrose is without question one of the wines of the vintage. Unforgettable”

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2026): 98/100 “The 2022 Montrose has a wonderful bouquet, beautifully defined with mineral-rich blackberry and bilberry fruit and a light touch of the Gironde Estuary in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiselled tannins, well judged acidity, focused and poised, with a finish that is just quintessential Saint-Estèphe. The pedigree of this wine is so obvious.”

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

The 2019 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2026): 98/100 “The 2019 Montrose has a razor-sharp bouquet, a mélange of red and black fruit, touches of pencil box and cedar. Understated at first, it unfurls temptingly with each swirl of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, fine acidity, blood orange infusing the black fruit with pencil lead towards the finish that fans out with style. There is a sense of grandeur to this wine that is compelling. Montrose? Stunning”

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.”
