92 Jane Anson, Decanter
«An excellent quality estate owned by the family behind the Sylvain cooperage. Lots of rich berry fruits on display, well worked with slate and baked earth adding texture and interest. Enjoyable. Kees van Leeuwen does the terroir consultancy here.»
92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous
«The 2020 La Rose Perrière is a very beautiful, vivid wine. Sweet/red purplish fruit, wild flowers; spice, blood orange and bright acids give the 2020 its vibrant, salivating personality. This mid-weight, sleek Lussac Saint-Emilion has a ton of character.
92 Izak Litwar
«Splendid and elegant nose of iris, violets and roses, luscious berries on the palate, finely grained tannin, vibrant, discreet acidity, lovely length and lingering aftertaste. Splendid effort for the vintage. »
91 James Suckling
«This shows black cherries, mocha, chocolate, crushed walnuts and dry earth. Medium- to full-bodied with a round and juicy mouthfeel. Firm tannins and a juicy berry character. Racy finish. Drink or hold.»
