Chuck Hayward, JJ Buckley, March 2010

68% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc. A flavorful wine with fresh scents of bread and chocolate along with sweet fruit that literally jumps out of the glass. The fruit on the palate shows a rich, medium-medium plus palate weight on an earthy/structured framework that is very integrated. This is not a fruit bomb in texture as it shows some restraint along with some fine, subtle tannins in the long finish. Tasted three times.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2012

Another brilliant wine from the talented Jean-Philippe Janoueix, this blend of 68% Merlot and 32% Cabernet France produced a wine that came in just under 15% natural alcohol. Of course, the vineyard is near Clos Fourtet, and it seems as though a lot of properties in that band of terroir did incredible jobs in 2009. A big, black/purple-colored wine with notes of blackberries, licorice, graphite, truffle and some subtle, toasty oak, the wine is full-bodied and unctuously textured, with loads of glycerin, fruit, and a massive, velvety textured finish. This superb wine should drink well for 15 or more years.

This has a floral nose, with blueberry and mineral. Full-bodied, with superfine tannins and a long, gorgeous finish. Very subtle and complex. This is going in a much more refined style than before due to an increase in the Merlot. 66 percent Merlot, 32 percent Cabernet Franc and 2 percent Cabernet Sauvignon.
