Pierre Taix has a deft hand when it comes to getting the most out of this small, organically farmed vineyard in a prime site of Puisseguin-Saint-Emilion. There's a lavish wave of ripe, dark berry-fruit on the nose. Good weight and body on the palate with those polished dark berries again, some nice spice notes too. Very fine-grained tannin and a good slug of pert acidity adds 'ping' to the well set frame. The dark fruit is joined by a hint of salinity as you reach the finish of this polished and charming St Emilion. Good drive and tension throughout - lovely wine in the vintage another under the radar winner here from the right bank.. L&S (May 2021)

The 2020 La Mauriane is composed of 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple color, it rocks up with up-front notes of baked black plums, boysenberries, and Ceylon tea, plus hints of aniseed and dusty soil. The medium-bodied palate delivers compelling tension with grainy tannins texturing the vibrant black fruits, finishing on a mineral note. Drinking range: 2023 - 2035 Rating: 91 Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent (Apr 2023)
