Notes de dégustation :
- La Revue du Vin de France, septembre 2015 : "fruit charmeur, en avant, un peu limite en maturité dans ses tonalités d'écorce et de chlorophylle, mais doté d'une réelle pulpe". 15/20
- Wine Advocate, août 2014 : "a blend of 87% percent merlot and 13% cabernet franc, the wine is considered one of the best from the sector of St-Emilion called Corbin. It was cropped at 28 hectoliters per hectare and produced from hand-harvested fruit starting on September 28 and finishing October 8. The wine has an attractive deep purple color, a sweet nose of raspberry fruit intermixed with red and black currants, loamy soil understones and a bit of tobacco leaf. It is medium-bodied, spicy, not terribly deep, but elegant and well-balanced. Moreover, the tannins are sweet and there is enough acidity to provide delineation to its component parts. Drink it over the next 7-8 years". 87-88/100
- Wine Spectator par James Molesworth, avril 2014 : "this has plum, steeped black cherry and blackberry coulis notes at the core, yet they give way to slightly edgy, rustic charcoal and tobacco notes on the finish". 86-89/100
- James Suckling, avril 2014 : "lots of dark-fruit and dark-chocolate character. Full body, silky tannins". 87-88/100
- Gault&Millau, mai-juin 2014: "de l'élégance dès les premières effluves dans le verre. La bouche charnue et sphérique dans l'évolution, reste sur l'équilibre rehaussée d'une pointe de poivre de Sichuan en finale". 16/20
- Jancis Robinson, avril 2014 : "floral and expressive. Sweet milk chocolate, generous oak, a bit of coffee. Squishy tannins, good balance - a successful St-Emilion. The perfume really helps give it some complexity". Drink 2016-2024. 16,5/20
- Decanter, avril 2014 : "pretty red berry nose and palate. Clean, poised and well made. Drink 2017-2025. 16/20
