Daniel and Florence Cathiard along with their talented Technical Director, Fabien Teitgen continue to raise the bar at this high-flying Pessac estate. We're huge fans of their sumptuous, sleek style. The 2021 is very much in the house style but reflects the tension and nerve of the vintage. Flowers over dark fruits, perfumed, spicy, hints of camphor, liquorice and dark cocoa nibs. The palate is beautifully textured, packed with decadent fruits and spices, layers of velvety plums and creme de mûre. This is seductive yet serious, finishing with beautifully judged tannins that tantalize the tastebuds. 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot.
Daniel and Florence Cathiard have taken this Pessac estate to the next level. The wines here outshine many of the top names from the more fashionable communes and are challenging the likes of Haut Bailly, La Mission and even Haut Brion for supremacy in the Graves. Their 2009 received a perfect 100 points from Robert Parker and we think the 2010 is even better. The style is pure seductive fruit and a silky texture; the quality is exceptional. Kudos to Daniel and Florence for turning this good, but slightly underperforming estate into one of the finest in Pessac Leognan.
