94 points (17/20) La Revue du Vin de France: "Special mention goes to the 2010 vintage, with its sumptuous bouquet of garrigue, perfectly full and fresh flesh, and the extravagance of the vintage blending beautifully with the house style. (2016)"
92 points Jane Anson (Inside Bordeaux): "(85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc). Violet aromatics, heading towards jasmine, reflecting fully ripe fruits and the sandy-gravel soils that saw some concentration in the berries. It's ready to being drinking, with attractive loganberry and raspberry puree, along with campfire smoke and sweet liquorice. Just tasting the 2009 of this pair, as there is no 2009 left at the château. Alcohol 14.5%. Drink: 2025-2040. (9/17/24)"
91-92 points James Suckling: "Wonderful texture to this young wine, with silky tannins, minerals and dark fruits. Full and fresh. Subtle with finesse. (4/20/11)"
91 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Deep ruby garnet, violet reflections, broader lightening at the rim, delicate floral undertones of dark berry fruit, delicate herbal spice, tobacco nuances, a hint of dried fruit, already developed bouquet. Medium complexity, fresh structure, fine tannins, already accessible, an uncomplicated accompaniment to food. (Feb 2016)"

90 points Jeff Leve (The Wine Cellar Insider): "One of the first estates to embrace Biodynamic farming in St. Emilion produced wine focused on black raspberry, stone and fennel characteristics. Soft, polished and medium bodied, this can be enjoyed now, but it should be better after a few years in the bottle. (Jul 2013)"
