Wine Press Ratings
92 Points - Falstaff (2018 Vintage)
"Dark ruby, purple reflections, discreet watery edge. Fresh black cherry on the nose with hints of cassis, orange zest, red berries and cranberry in the background. Juicy palate, tight, dark wild berries, vivid tannins and a savoury, salty-mineral finish. Will definitely benefit from a few years of bottle age."
About the Producer

Certified organic and biodynamic, the estate has embraced sustainable viticulture, resulting in wines that are both powerful and refined. A classic Pauillac with a modern sensibility, Haut-Bages Libéral is a name to watch.
