Yves Beck: 91-93 Punkte
"Schöne Fruchtintensität im Bouquet mit einladenden fruchtigen Noten wie Himbeeren und Brombeeren, gefolgt von einem Hauch von Zimt und Süßholz. Der Wein ist leicht cremig im Auftakt und besticht durch seinen geradlinigen und eleganten Charakter. Er ist eher schlank, wird aber perfekt von samtenen Tanninen und einer erfrischenden Säure getragen. Mir scheint, dass man wieder zu den Weinen von Tour Carnet zurückkehrt, die seinen Ruhm begründet haben, wie zum Beispiel der 2001er. Ein eleganter, mundwässernder und animierender Wein!" (04/2026)

"This has juicy tannins, a lot of fresh fruit, the dark and savoury concentrations of the vintage, well balanced with plenty of ageing potential. Julien Viaud consultant, group technical director has come over from Penfolds, Pablo Laborde, joined in early 2026 so for the blending and ageing of this vintage. Yield 23 hl/ha. 50% of the wine in ok, of which 25% is new oak. Harvest September 9 to October 6, 160ha." (04/2026)

"Beautiful floral aromatics and rich, ripe expressive black bramble fruit on the nose. Supple and bright with a gorgeously welcome and charming expression, bright acidity, ripe fruit and silky tannins giving absolute charm straight away, the Cabernets playing their part towards the finish with more firm, tight straightness. Ends gravelly with liquorice and cola. Generous but really well controlled – full of fruit with mouthwatering acidity yet perfectly balanced. This will add a bit of weight over ageing but remains pure and focused. Very good and already quite approachable. Ends mentholated and long. 3.6pH. A yield of 23hl/ha. Ageing in 50% barrels (1/4 new, 1/4 second fill) plus 50% in stainless steel, wood and concrete vats. An interesting project to follow with drastic selection and reduction in. production taking place." - Georgina Hindle (04/2026)
