On the bigger-framed and riper side, which is usually not my preferred style, but it’s pretty good nonetheless. Nose shows ripe dark fruit, and a tiny bit of dark ,chocolate, but that’s redeemed by nice dark olivey notes and deep stony minerality. Rich and very southern Rhone-like in the mouth, the richness again redeemed by the minerality. Would I have preferred they picked a little earlier? Sure. But this still is quite good. 40% Carignane, 30% Syrah, 30% Grenache. — 3 years ago
2022 vintage. La Fleur des Pins, Graves, from the owners of Haut-Bergeron in Sauternes. 50% Sémillon with equal parts of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. Sémillon dominates the nose. Exotic fruit and citrus. Bright, fresh and juicy. Round mouthfeel and good length. Very good value. — 8 months ago
2019 vintage. From 30 hectares in Haut-Medoc, owned by the Quié family ( also Rauzan-Gassies and Croizet-Bages). A fine effort, showing that the Quié family is finally serious about quality, after decades of mediocrity. Much more evolved in colour compared to the 2019 Moulin de La Lagune tasted alongside. Ripe, slightly jammy fruit. Serve slightly cold to keep the high alcohol ( 15% abv.) in check. — 2 years ago
