Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2012

This 2009 is performing better from bottle than it did from barrel. A big, bold, Merlot-dominated St.-Emilion, it offers up notes of roasted espresso, white chocolate, caramel, sweet black cherries and wild mountain berry fruit. With a dense purple color, medium to full body, sweet tannin and a round, generous style, it should be drunk over the next 10-15 years.

Wine Spectator, March 2012

Long and racy, with lovely range to the blueberry, cassis and raspberry fruit, followed by a long, sweet spice-filled finish. A racy graphite edge cuts underneath, adding length and definition. Best from 2013 through 2023. -JM

About Winery

Château La Bienfaisance, located in the town of Saint-Christophe des Bardes on the outskirts of Saint-Emilion, has a 16-hectare vineyard. The main plots, planted with Merlot and Cabernet-Franc grape varieties, are on the famous clay and limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion and on the clay and sandy slopes of the following hillside. This remarkable variety of soils enables the crafting of wines with complementary qualities of powerfulness, finesse and elegance.

Over the last ten years, cropping techniques driven by the determination to attain the highest possible quality have been implemented in the 30-year old vines: integrated crop management to respect the terroir and the grapes, progressive leaf removal, crop thinning, hand picking at maximum ripeness, double sorting of the grapes before their arrival in the vat-room, everything is done every year to obtain concentrated grapes with an outstanding quality potential.
