Chateau Villemaurine
93+/100 robertparker.com "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Villemaurine opens with baked black cherries, mulberries and fragrant earth scents giving way to preserves plums and cinnamon toast. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with black fruit preserves flavors, framed by ripe, velvety tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and spicy."

Chateau Pin Beausoleil
Second wine of the excellent Le Pin Beausoleil. Guide Hachette 1 star "raspberry, wild strawberry, blackcurrant and violet: here is a pretty spring bouquet. A few subtle menthol notes add a touch of freshness. On the palate, everything is silky and there is no trace of tannins. It is indeed the fruit that reigns here throwing the Little Sun."

Chateau Haut Nouchet
Pessac-Leognan, just south of the city of Bordeaux, features gravel-rich soils that produce wines with excellent clarity and definition. Odyssée is a cuvée by Château Haut Nouchet, and its vines are some of the highest elevation in the appellation. The blend is about 60/40 Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot, with a splash of Petit Verdot. We found this wine impressive in its combination of intensity and restraint. The nose is dark and polished with plum and wild cherries, and notes of liquorice and spice. The mouth is inky and dark but the fruit is laid over a beautifully clean structure of fine gravely tannin. This is a classy, sleek Bordeaux with a beautifully balanced mouthfeel, that tastes a lot more expensive than it is.

Chateau Les Charmilles
Silver Medal winner for this Merlot-based red wine that is packed with flavour and very well balanced already. Lots of plum and blackberry primary flavours, soft tannins and a nice lick of acidity that keeps the wine energetic.

Chateau Moulin de Mallet
79% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec, aged in tank. Beautiful garnet color with brick reflections. Powerful nose of sour cherry, overripe red fruits, vanilla and spicy notes. Full and fleshe on the palate, supported by a well-integrated tannic structure, which confers power and length, we find notes of strawberry jam on the palate Château Moulin de Mallet has been a family property since 1898. Over the years, the estate has grown to become the main activity of the Courderc family when Serge arrived to work on the property in 1985. It extends today on 40 hectares of vinesSerge has been fully in charge of the property since 1997 and his son Julien, holder of a BTS viti-oeno, joined him in 2000.
