An excellent Cuvée Secrète! The flavors confirm the promise of the nose, with juicy red fruits expressing themselves with intensity and freshness. There are also hints of dark chocolate and licorice. The finish is long and persistent. We all loved it!

It's a total surprise: you'd expect a heavy, classic Saint-Emilion, but what you get is a wine that's all finesse and roundness, with fruity aromas. An excellent surprise

It was a big surprise! Bought with my eyes closed, the only clue being the Pessac-Léognan appellation, I don't regret my choice. To be repeated at future mystery sales!

Good Pessac-Léognan from 2016 (not St Emilion! :) ). I was expecting a more expressive wine. It's obviously very well made, far be it from me to play the demanding connoisseur. But all the same, I thought that a rive gauche from a fine domaine and a fine year would produce something more remarkable.

A good wine which is very good value for money and which, accompanied by duck brings pleasure provided that it has been opened at least one hour before.

A pleasant wine to drink. The price is right. Why is it recommended for immediate consumption? I'll keep a few bottles for 2 years and see...
