Lalande de Pomerol
2022 Chateau Les Cruzelles, Lalande de Pomerol 6x75cl
“The 2022 Les Cruzelles was picked between 1 and 12 September and matured in 50% new oak. This has plenty of fruit on the nose: small red cherries, redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit, a touch of... cedar in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with wonderful definition and mineralité, dark fruit, hints of block tea and spices, really harmonious and sappy on the finish. Possibly the best Les Cruzelles that I hove tasted at this stage and sure to be an unbeatable value-for-money.” 92-94 pts. Neal Martin, vinous.com

2013 Le Plus de la Fleur de Bouard, Lalande de Pomerol 6x75cl
"The luxury cuvee, the 2013 Le Plus de la Fleur de Bouard, is a limited production from what is considered to be the best parcel in the vineyard. This 100% Merlot reveals unreal concentration as well... as an opaque blue/purple color, and abundant notes of blueberry liqueur, lead pencil shavings, violets, black currants and black cherries. Deep, opulent and voluptuously textured, this is a candidate for the wine of the vintage. It should drink well for 10-15 years, perhaps longer. It may be hard for readers to believe these two Lalande de Pomerols are better than many first-growths, but they are." 92-94 pts., Robert Parker Jr., robertparker.com

2021 La Chenade, Lalande de Pomerol 6x75cl
"The 2021 La Chenade, from vineyards in Lalande de Pomerol that were saved from the frost, offers up rich aromas of berries and plums mingled with loamy soil and spices. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, it's built around powdery tannins and lively acids." 89-90 pts., William Kelley, robertparker.com
