This wine is consistently so good, this bottle had a little more nuttiness than some others have had but with no less freshness. — 21 days ago

So well balanced. It’s not insanely complex but checks all the boxes I want from a champagne at this price. Great acidity, tart fruit, some citrus, a bit of marzipan, some toast with butter, lemon curd finish. Lovely! — 2 years ago

2020 vintage. The last vintage for this wine as it was bought from the Bécot family ( owners of Beauséjour-Bécot) by the owners of Haut-Brion in 2021. It will be incorporated into Château Quintus (which is a merger of 3 estates: Tertre-Daugay, L'Arrosée and Grand-Pontet). Many Saint-Emilion estates disappeared, incorporated into other estates, some very good wines sadly disappeared like Curé Bon La Madeleine (now into Canon), Cadet-Piola (now into Soutard) and so on. The fact that Grand Cru Classés can legally be incorporated into Premier Grands Crus Classés tells you that you have to take the classification with more than a grain of salt. A bit shy on the nose, even after a few hours. Medium-bodied, nice value for a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé. — 3 years ago
