Jean-Claude Berrouet, 35 vintages of Petrus behind him, brought elegance to this beautiful deep wine, featuring black fruits and cedar aromas, dense, tight, rather tannic.
Blend: 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot
Critical Acclaim:
- 93 James Suckling
Here’s a St.-Estèphe that’s really appealing young but also has good aging potential. Great balance between crisp acidity, ripe fruit and elegant dry tannins. The finish is long and rather subtle. Hard not to drink now.

Big-hearted fruit dominates this smooth wine. The estate, owned by the Tesseron family and close to their other property of Pontet-Canet, is performing well and it shows in this juicy ripe wine, full of generous tannins. The aftertaste shows both acidity and concentration. Drink from 2022.
- 92 Decanter
This is being prepared for shipping in November 2016, and underlines the fact that the northern Médoc produced some exceptionally fine wines in this vintage – often better than the 2015s (and almost invariably for a lower consumer price). This is showing a deep, rich lustre to the fruit, with bilberry, black cherry, liquorice and cedar spice. Always a concentrated wine, this is expectedly closed right now, but the tannins are beautifully ripe. Expect to wait another five to six years before it really opens up, but this is a lovely wine, full of energy and finesse.

This delivers a direct beam of red and black currant fruit mixed with a note of blood orange. Picks up tobacco and warm stone accents through the finish. Best from 2018 through 2026.
