88-90/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple colored. Zips out of the glass with spritely notes of juicy raspberries and cranberries, opening out to hints of mint tea and wet slate. The medium-bodied palate delivers plenty of bright, fresh red berry flavors with a grainy texture and refreshing finish.

87-89/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2024 Saintayme was picked between September 24 and October 6 and was matured 30% in new oak. It has a slightly more fruit-driven nose compared to its peers, with ripe red cherries, wild strawberry and veins of cassis. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins on the entry, fresh and quite strict compared to previous vintages, with a slightly grainy finish. Give this a year once in bottle.

89/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Bright, chalky red fruits, nice lift and gentle grip without overdoing things, a little austere on the finish. Harvest September 23 to October 6, yields here were relatively normal at at around 40hl/h, and by the beginning of September they had deleafed on both sides to help ripening. Well handled from Noëmie Durantou.

86-88/100Yohan Castaing,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

From Durantou's sister, the 2024 Saintayme exhales an introverted bouquet of dark berries and spices, followed by a round, compact and moderately weighted palate with a good chassis of firm tannins, leading to a spicy finish. This pure Merlot will mature in 30% new oak.
