Decanter: ***** (18,5/20) ?Long, fresh and distinctly Médocain in style. Fragrant, cassis-dark fruit aroma and flavour. Pure and exact, no false notes. Drink 2018-2040." Quelle: www.decanter.com
Wine Spectator: 97-100 "Really fabulous on the nose, with sweet milk chocolate, flowers, currant and plum. Full-bodied, with incredible length. The tannins are so silky, but they are warm and cuddly. You just want to hug it. Powerful but so attractive." ?J.S."
René Gabriel: 19/20 "Tiefes Purpur. Warmes , malziges Bouquet, Edelhölzer, Zedern, Pflaumen, völlig harmonisch mit einer reifen Cabernet-Note unterlegt. Am Gaumen ein Weintraum, Malz, Hustenbonbons, seidige Tannine, zarte, cremige Fülle, sehr sublim bis zum langen, gebündelten Finale. Wer sich darüber aufregt, dass alle Premiers so teuer sind, der kauft sich am besten hiervon ein paar Flaschen "en primeur" - und erhält in der Auslieferung in zwei Jahren einen der allerbesten Figeacs. 2019-2045 "Quelle: "WEINWISSER" N° 5/2010
Jancis Robinson MW : 17+/20 Drink 2017-2032; Paler than most. Luscious, opulent nose ? very come-hither. Cool and fresh. Complete. Still a bit simple but there are no excesses here. Just slightly timid on the palate. Real juice though ? not exaggerated. Sweet and juicy and friendly even if not the most dramatic. Dry end. Will get there. As discreet and distinctive as usual." www.jancisrobinson.com
RVF: 17,5-18,5/20 (réussite exceptionelle) "L'échantillon dégusté est issu de deux tonneliers différents et de barriques neuves. Très belle récolte avec 40hl/ha et une très faible proportion de second vin. Assemblage classique de Figeac, en trois tiers: cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon et merlot. Vin droit et parfumé sur des fines notes d'édpices et une élégance florale offrant fraîcheur et sistinction. Les cabernets tardifs fomrent la race de 2009 dans ce premier cru classé."Quelle: "LA REVUE DU VIN DE FRANCE" N° 541 - Mai 2010
Bettane & Desseauve: 93-94 "Distinguished, elegant, linear, but the wine was energy and great lenght. A truly noble wine." Quelle: "TOP 2009 BORDEAUX RATINGS"
Jane Anson: 94 "1/3 merlot (22 sept-28 sept), 1/3 cabernet franc and 1/3 cab sauvignon (5-19 oct for the both cabernets). 35 hl/h normally, in 2009 went up to 40 hl/h (because they were not affected by the hail). It has plenty of good grip and defined tannins, but lacks a little on the ample fruit. It?s reserved and elegant, but not the best I have ever tasted from this estate. The 2005 is for me a better balance. 100% new oak. Gilles Pauquet is the consultant winemaker here."Quelle: www.newbordeaux.com
