Appreciation : ★★ - coup de coeur
Guide's Remarks :This Bordeaux Supérieur opens unabashedly with ripe, generous fruit, lightly touched by oak.

CHATEAU LANGOIRAN ODYSSEA, Cadillac-côtes-de-bordeaux, 2022
Appellation :Cadillac-côtes-de-bordeaux
Vintage : 2022
Guide's Remarks : An original winemaking approach in Bordeaux (whole-cluster fermentation) followed by extended barrel aging (16 months): a combination that hits the mark! Powerful and deep, the nose is bursting with black fruits, paprika, and sweet spices. The palate follows suit: broad, smooth, aromatic, luxuriously silky, and wrapped in perfectly velvety tannins. The long, fruity and chocolatey finish seals the impression. Stunning and irresistibly juicy.
CHATEAU LANGOIRAN, Cadillac-côtes-de-bordeaux, 2023
Appellation : Cadillac-côtes-de-bordeaux
Guide's Remarks :A 2023 with sapid and approachable character, featuring flavors of roasted black fruits. Full-bodied, fleshy, and fresh, supported by fine yet firm tannins. Enjoy it now with lightly seared fatty meat, or let it rest in the cellar for a while.
CHATEAU CAYLA, Cadillac-côtes-de-bordeaux, 2023
Guide's Remarks : On the nose, a basket of fresh red fruits with a hint of Zan. This lovely bouquet carries through to a broad palate, where one enjoys its generous texture, already melting tannins, and a relaxed, slightly warm finish.
CHATEAU DE PIC, Cadillac-côtes-de-bordeaux, 2022
Guide's Remarks : Fermented with whole clusters and aged in barrels (partially new), this is a well-born Cabernet Sauvignon with excellent aging potential. Fruity (black fruits), mentholated, and generously vanilla-scented, it is powerful, fleshy, and firmly structured on a backbone of very supple tannins. Still under the influence of oak, it will develop gracefully.
CHATEAU DE LESTIAC Cuvée Prestige, Cadillac-côtes-de-bordeaux, 2023
Guide's Remarks :Reserved at first, the nose gradually opens with aeration: fresh black fruits, resin, and spices. The fruit becomes noticeably more pronounced on the palate, enlivening a fleshy, lively texture framed by still firm but rounded tannins. Very convincing and well-structured, it simply needs a little time.
MARQUIS DE BERN, Graves, 2023
Appellation : Graves
Guide's Remarks : There’s no need to worry about the discreet nose; the notes of ripe red berries fully emerge on a beautifully structured, supple, and elegant palate, gently supported by perfectly crisp tannins. Unpretentious and fruit-forward, it’s a delight in its youth, for example paired with a herb-seasoned tournedos.
MARQUIS DE BERN, Graves, 2024
Color and type : Whte, Still
Guide's Remarks : Sémillon and Sauvignon work in perfect harmony in this pale white, which offers an elegant nose with floral, fruity, and lightly toasted notes. The palate is both tender and lively, with stimulating aromas of green apple and pear, complemented by a hint of minerality. Perfect with a sardinade.
HAUT-VIGNY, Graves, 2024
Guide's Remarks : A tank-aged wine, focused on preserving the fruit, this lively, slightly sparkling white is smooth and generously aromatic (green fruits, flowers, and exotic fruits). Easy to drink and very versatile at the table (aperitif, shellfish, or aged goat cheese).
