"The 2023 Chardonnay De La Guerra is a terrific introduction to this range from Hyde de Villaine. Hints of apricot, chamomile, tangerine oil and light tropical inflections unfurl in the glass. This vibrant, steely Chardonnay is so expressive. Think of the De La Guerra as the village wine here. What a delight."

Quite a bit more taut and nervy than the Rosé de Pauline tasted alongside, the 2024 Vin de Corse Rosé Gris de Marquiliani boasts a lightning bolt of minerality and propulsive acidity. White flowers, crushed rocks, seaspray and orange peel rush across the palate, leaving behind a pleasant echo of bitterness.

95 Matt Walls - Decanter

Notes of dried pear come forth on this rich, full-bodied wine. It's a deeply textural wine, without the same degree of noticeable oak influence as the Clairette, though it still has some oak spice notes on the finish. A firm, powerful, muscular style of Roussanne. Great depth, and a sonorous, echoing finish. Sees 40% new oak.

91 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

"A well-rounded, well-built and delicious Sancerre, proposing notes of apples, dried pears and herbs. Medium-bodied with a seductive character on the palate. Succulent and vivid with a satisfying finish. Drink now."

93 Decanter

Lovely purple flowers and blue fruits on the nose, with floral and chocolate nuances. Lovely tension and vibrant acidity.

The 2019 Château Lynch-Bages is stunningly good, and it's going to be interesting to compare this to the 2018 over the coming decades. Based on 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, brought up in 75% new French oak, its dense purple hue is followed by an incredible bouquet of pure crème de cassis, freshly sharpened cedar pencil, spring flowers, smoke, and graphite, with an almost liqueur of rocks-like minerality. A massive, incredibly concentrated Lynch-Bages, Jean-Charles has hit a home run in the vintage, and this sensational wine has building, perfect tannins, insane purity, and a finish that won't quit. It has the purity, finesse, balance, and depth to offer pleasure not only today but to evolve for 40 to 50 years. Smart money will hide these for a good 7-8 years, but wow, what a wine. Bravo.

99 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

"The 2019 Lynch Bages is every bit as magnificent from bottle as it was from barrel, if not moreso. What a wine! Towering and vertical in its bearing, the 2019 is a total stunner. There is plenty of Lynch Bages charm, but what distinguishes the 2019 most is its spine of tannin and energy. Time in the glass brings out sweet red cherry, plum, blood orange and pomegranate and mint. The 2019 is a great, great, great Lynch Bages. It reminds me of the epic 1989, but with the youthful grip of this vintage. A towering Pauillac, the 2019 Lynch Bages will make a great addition to any cellar."

97+ Lisa Perrotti-Brown - The Wine Independent

The 2019 Lynch-Bages is composed of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it gallops out with bold notions of warm cassis, stewed black cherries, and boysenberry preserves, followed by hints of tar, violets, and star anise. The medium to full-bodied palate is intense and nuanced with firm, grainy tannins and great tension, finishing long and layered. Classic great Pauillac.

97 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Fantastic blackberries, blackcurrants, lead pencil and violets. So Pauillac on the nose! Full-bodied with a dense, layered palate and tight yet plush tannins that give the wine layers and gravitas. Compact. Long finish. Silky. Reminds me of a modern, classic version of something like the wonderful 1985 Lynch. Try after 2026.

97 Wine Enthusiast

The wine's power is important and impressive. Behind this lies a solid structure along with powerful black fruits, allowing the succulent nature of the Cabernet Sauvignon to shine. The wine will develop slowly over many years. Drink from 2027.

97 Georgina Hindle - Decanter

Intense, deep and dark aromatics - such wonderful Cabernet notes on the nose. This is incredibly impactful from the very first taste, it grips the mouth and courses with power but in a well balanced, harmonious way. Mouthwatering fruit juice is backed by tannins that, although fill the mouth entirely, come across as quite ripe and soft with a backbone of menthol cooling freshness that goes from start to finish. A Pauillac with such an enticing dark profile, concentrated and direct but also so much to give. Still not near it's potential yet.

97 Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux

Tight black fruits, run through with espresso, cocoa bean and bitter black chocolate shavings. Brilliant quality, with tannic heft and precision. Takes a jump halfway through the palate and lifts right off. I have tasted this several times over the past few months, and it consistently performs. 75% new oak, Eric Boissenot consults.
