Product Overview
Importer's Notes
"This is Marie-Hélène and Gilles’ classic cuvée and their most important wine. The domaine’s best 7 of 15 acres of vines are dedicated to this wine, the Villa Jeanne cuvée.
The Côtes de Bourg is the sunniest and driest of all of Bordeaux’s appellations. Its compact, rolling landscape rises above the confluence of the Dordogne and Garonne Rivers, where the vast Gironde estuary begins, and looks across the estuary to Margaux and its flatlands."

"This vineyard, opposite the confluence of the Dordogne and Garonne rivers, has produced a rich wine with plenty of spice that comes from four plots. Black currants and spice come through strongly. Drink the wine now." -RV, 9/1/23
90 Points - James Suckling
"Aromas of blackcurrants, stewed blackberries, mocha, thyme and bay leaves. Showing some spicy elements too, with well-integrated tannins and a creamy, soft finish. 70% merlot, 20% malbec and 10% cabernet franc. Delicious now." -2/8/23
