James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, April 2011

Big and juicy, with loads of blackberry and chocolate character. Full and velvety textured. Very long finish.


Jeff Loo, JJ Buckley, April 2011

50% cabernet franc and 50% merlot. From a tiny 1.3 hectare vineyard, situated in St. Pey d'Armens to the east of St. Emilion, the average age of the vines is 100 years. Hand-harvested into small crates; table-sorted as at Gracia, and entirely hand-stemmed. Yields of only 17 hls/ha. Aged for 12 months in 100% new oak. 15.5% alcohol. The nose displays aromas of plum, raisin and sweet blackberry, followed by mineral, licorice and a hint of floral. With great texture and wonderful richness, the palate is structured and powerful, as the tannins and in sync with the acidity, lingering onto a long finish. Drink from 2015-2025. 300 cases produced and Claude Gros consults.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, March 2013

The more traditional cuvee, the 2010 La Fleur Morange is an equal-part blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc from a tiny, 4.5-acre parcel. This is showing better from bottle than it did from barrel. Remarkably, it has 15.5% natural alcohol, which may be the highest level of natural alcohol of any of the wines from the better estates in Bordeaux. Of course, there is not much of it, since yields were 17 hectoliters per hectare, so there are only about 200+ cases of this wine in the marketplace. Dense purple, with oodles of mulberry, black raspberry and violets, this is a beautiful wine, elegant, but at the same time massively fruity, thick, unctuously textured and long. I am sure some serious tannins are lurking beneath in this extravagantly endowed, sumptuously textured Bordeaux. Drink this wine over the next 15+ years. 94+ points. --Robert Parker

Dark and alluring, showing a solid graphite underpinning and riveting charcoal and tar notes lending definition to the core of crushed plum, blackberry and boysenberry fruit. The long, smoldering finish has lots of grip, but it's integrated and should really handle cellaring well. Best from 2015 through 2028. -JM
