Often credited as being the Second Label of Ch. Rauzan Gassies—it most definitely is not—this Haut-Médoc is just OK. For me, Ch. Cantemerle is the flag ship of Haut-Médoc. If you accept this premise the L’Orme has a lot of catching up to do. Does an $18 price point deserve a try? Spend another $20 and purchase a ‘15 Cantemerle. The $ sting is well worth it.
