| Sub-district | Saint Emilion & Satellites |
| Village | Saint Emilion |
| Classification | Grand Cru Classé |
Very dark and dense, something like burnt fruitcake. There are tarry, caramel notes along with the curranty flavour. Heavy fruitcake density. Very concentrated and very long. Not sure what to make of this but it's certainly got personality and style. Rating: 92+ L&S (Apr 2012)

Violet, blackcurrant and cedar on the complex nose. The palate is rich, supple, sweet and seductive. A big, powerful wine with big structure and tannins, but with the fruite to match it for a good future. Drinking range: 2016 - 2035 Rating: 90+ Decanter Magazine (Oct 2014)
The wine boasts a dense blue/purple color as well as aromas of black raspberries, blackberries, acacia flowers, espresso, toasty oak, and a sweet, mossy, foresty character that ranges from an autumnal, vegetative smell to minerality. Opulent, dense and strikingly rich and extracted with moderately high tannins, this is one of the bigger, richer wines of the vintage. Give it 4-5 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 20-25. Christine Valette has turned in another impressive performance, although despite its obvious success, the 2011 will never be compared with what she achieved in the three previous vintages, 2008, 2009 and 2010, not to mention the monumental 2005. Yields were 41 hectoliters per hectare, and the final blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc hit 14.5% natural alcohol. 2016 - 2041 Rating: 91-93+ Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com (Apr 2012)
A blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc picked from 16th September with the Merlot until 5th October with the Cabernet. The nose on the 2011 is tightly wound with reluctant blackberry and cassis notes, the alcohol more contained than last year. The palate is full-bodied with ripe, furry tannins and layers of toasty, quite spicy black fruit laced with liquorice. The finish is a little dry and mealy and comparing it directly to the sample of Chateau Canon...well, the difference cannot be disguised. Rating: 87-89 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Apr 2012)
