James Suckling

A juicy and chewy red with blackberries, walnuts and some tobacco. It’s full-bodied with fine, dusty tannins and a long, notable finish. Biodynamically farmed vineyards.

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

This is one of three properties in Margaux owned by Claire and Gonzague Lurton. The wine's structure and powerful tannins contrast with the black currant fruits and acidity. A touch of mint from wood aging adds a polished feel. Drink from 2026. Organic and biodynamic.

Jane Anson - Decanter Magazine

This is a classic, restrained style of Margaux, with a fresh floral edge, and a gentle raspberry and redcurrant feel to the fruit, given welcome depth on the finish by spiced rosemary and pepper. Slightly higher sand in the soil at this location in Soussans, which means it lacks a little of the concentration you find in the excellent sibling estate Ferrrière, but this shows an enticing slice of early-drinking Margaux. A yield of 32hl/ha.
