Delightful crunch of firm plum. Bright cherry. Lovely acidity and so well poised. Peppy, bright fruit, lovely mineral purity builds. A herb note and good floral lift. Long and seriously impressive with fine cocoa-powder tannins. 75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc. Harvest started 27th September and finished the 5th October. This helped retain the freshness in the Cabernet Franc. 80 year old vines. 40% new wood. But all in big barrels (demi-Muids). L&S (Apr 2023)

The 2022 La Mauriane should be terrific, with ample ripe black fruits, leafy herbs, and chocolate notes, as well as a kiss of flowers. It's medium to full-bodied and concentrated, with quality tannins and outstanding length. 90-92, Jeb Dunnuck Rating: 90-92 Jeb Dunnuck, www.jebdunnuck.com (May 2023)
La Mauriane
La Mauriane is a small vineyard within Château Rigaud, a Puisseguin-St-Emilion property owned by Pierre Taïx, who owns a few other properties in Puisseguin and the neighbouring Côtes de Castillon. La Mauriane is a micro-cuvée, made by Pierre, who is a university lecturer (economics) in his other life. One of the three parcels that make this extraordinary wine consists of eighty year old vines planted by his grandfather. The vineyard here is farmed organically. 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
