Critics Ratings

Teynac Saint-Julien 2016
'Attractive density of fruit to this red with lots of blackcurrant and wet-earth character. Full body and chewy tannins that are polished and rounded already. A pretty wine to follow the 2015.’ -James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 92-93/100

‘From a 12ha vineyard in St-Julien (the type of family property Eric Boissenot enjoys), with a distinct Cabernet expression. Has a fresh, flattering nose with dark-fruit notes and a hint of leaf and menthol. The palate is firm and direct with fine tannin, fleshed out with attractive dark fruit; long and fresh on the finish. 2021-2030’ - James Lawther MW, Decanter, 90/100

‘Blackish purple. Ferns and forest floor on the cool nose. Fine tannins in abundance as well as freshness. Lifted and straight backed. Lots of Cabernet but enough stuffing in the middle. Dry but not drying finish. Long, serious. 2021-2028’ - Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Apr 2017)

Croix Canon Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2016
‘One of my (relative) value buys of the year on this showing. Bright, vivacious, creamy fruits that expand through the mid palate, great freshness and acidity that speak of the location just on the edge of the limestone plateau. A brilliant 2nd wine. 25% new oak. 2022-2032’ - Jane Anson, janeanson.com, 93/100 (Jun 2022)

‘Shaded garnet. Smells very accomplished and sophisticated. Really very nicely assembled with both ripeness and freshness, and a dry finish. No alcoholic heat. Savoury and appetising. Long. Why pay for the grand vin if you want to drink the wine soon? Nicolas Audebert kindly gives us really superior second wines! GV 2023-2033’ - Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, 17/20 (Sep 2023)
