Formerly known as Capbern Gasqueton, this Cru Bourgeois Saint Estèphe estate has been in the same family for 10 generations. The same family that owns 3ème Cru Classé Calon Ségur. It lies in one of the finest parts of the appellation, between Phelan Ségur and Meyney, and every aspect is given Grand Cru care. Hand picking of the 41 hectares of vines, with ageing in top quality oak, one third new, all adds up to the exceptional quality. This vintage has gathered many top scores from both Decanter magazine, James Suckling and James Leve. Rightly so, too. Two thirds Cabernet with the same in new oak, it’s “gourmet and full of chocolate, damson and tar. High drama in this vintage” (Decanter). Definitely one to cellar for a few years.

"Gorgeous young sample with wonderful blue fruit and spices, as well as a nice overlay of pretty wood" James Suckling
