Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Less successful than the red Jacques Sans Souci, this nevertheless has some attractive fresh citrus and green plum flavors and bright fresh acidity. Simple fruits and a light green apple structure give it a good, crisp finish.

A wine that aims to bring out the casual side of Bordeaux, this is friendly, accessible, without losing the essential dry tannins and fresh black currant flavors typical of the region. If only all branded Bordeaux was like this.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Showing new wood, this is a straight down the line red Bordeaux. The tannins are firm, maybe the wood gives a burnt character but the fruit comes through strongly, giving fresh, sweet blackberry juice flavors. A good, dry, but lively finish.

A fresh white currant-flavored wine, attractive with its acidity and fresh berry character. Dominated by Sauvignon Blanc, it has a grassy element, but there is also good intensity of sweet flavors.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
With a high proportion (20%) of the aromatic Muscadelle, this is a softly fresh wine, attractively perfumed and given a lift of acidity from Sauvignon Blanc. A great apéritif wine, ready to drink now.
