Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 92/100 "The 2022 Le Petit Ducru is bursting with inky dark red/blue fruit, new leather, spice tobacco, graphite, mocha and espresso. This bold, juicy Saint-Julien offers tons of immediacy, as the Merlot was especially ripe. Le Petit Ducru is quite the extrovert, but it has good structure, too."

The 2019 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - Febrauary 2022): 92/100 "The 2019 Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou is plush, creamy and open-knit, all of which give it considerable immediacy, not to mention tons of charm. Succulent dark cherry, plum, mocha and licorice lend nuance in this racy, Merlot-based blend. The Petit Ducru is a new wine meant to be thr third selection from the château."

La Revue du Vin de France (November 2021): 90/100 “Formerly named Lalande-Borie, Ducru-Beaucaillou's third wine is very accessible and open, to be drunk on the fruit of its youth. This 2019 is fruity and silky, with charm and a digestible side.”

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 93/100 "The 2022 Gloria is bold, punchy and super-expressive. In this vintage, Gloria has a bit more mid-palate richness and overall heft than most years. Red fruit, blood orange, mocha, spice, new leather and cedar build as this showy Saint-Julien opens in the glass."

J.M Quarin (February 2025): 93/100 "Beautiful dark red, intense. Very aromatic nose, with ripe fruit, subtle and slightly smoky when the glass is shaken. Juicy on the entry, very aromatic in the middle, with a fine fatness running across the palate, the wine evolves towards a long, sappy, flavoursome finish that leaves the mouth fresh (even at 9am!). A very good wine.Competing with the 2018 to be the best ever made."

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “2021 is no exception, the wine is nicely structured, with notes of red fruit and a nice stretch on very polished tannins. The ageing is discreet. Esprit flatters with its immediate greediness and openness”.

Vinous (N. Martin - November 2023): 94/100 “ The 2021 Gloria, which contains a healthy slug of Petit Verdot (14%), has a clean and pure bouquet with black cherries, bilberry, cedar and crushed violet scents, almost Margaux-like in style. The oak is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with a graphite-tinged entry. This is quite a "vertical" Gloria, conservative in some ways, yet it does not compensate in terms of precision on the finish, and it feels reassuringly long on the aftertaste. There's good potential here.”

The 2018 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (November 2021): 93/100 “Recent vintages seem to be directing Gloria towards greater elegance and purity. 2018 is very successful in this respect, the wine has very noble fruit and plenty of breed with a breeding that becomes more discreet. Very well-balanced."

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2021): 93/100 "The 2018 Gloria has a wonderful, harmonious bouquet of copious blackberry, biary, cedar and tobacco notes that just feels so... effortless. The very harmonious palate offers pure black fruit laced with graphite. Displaying moderate weight and fine acidity, and quite linear and focused on the finish, this is a very classy Gloria that may warrant a higher score down the line."

The 2017 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2020): 94/100 “Medium in body and full of character, Gloria is one of the highlights of the vintage. Don't miss it.”

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2020): 91/100 “The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, a pretty and understated Gloria. A classic tobacco and bay leaf finish does not quite kick on like other recent vintages. Nevertheless, this is a delicious Saint-Julien that will give 20 years of drinking pleasure"

The 2016 vintage in the press:

J-M Quarin (June 2019): 91/100 “Delicate on the entry, more aromatic than usual in the middle, the wine melts on the palate, delicious, savory and very pleasant, with brightness on the finish and hints of ink.”

The 2010 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2020): 94/100 "The 2010 Gloria has a very attractive and quite intense bouquet with a surfeit of blackberry and wild strawberry scents, cedar and light seaweed coming through with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with supple but firm tannins framing the pure blackberry and bilberry fruit, laced with black pepper and clove. Very complex, very focused and very precise on the finish, this is an outstanding 2010 Saint-Julien."

See the technical sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 93/100 "The 2022 Clos du Marquis is gorgeous. Resonant and quite expressive, it possesses notable textural depth and plenty of presence but never feels heavy. Inky dark-toned fruit, spice, new leather and licorice all flow across the palate. The 2022 will be an absolute delight to drink over the next 10-15 years."

J.M Quarin (February 2025): 93/100 "Dark, intense purple colour. The nose is moderately aromatic, with ripe, merlot-like fruit. Tender on the attack, suave on the mid-palate, the wine glides, caresses and finishes long, with a grain of coated tannin. It lacked a little sparkle." 

The 2019 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2023): 91+/100 “The 2019 Clos du Marquis needs a little more precision on the nose, dark berry fruit, cedar, touches of sage and crushed iris petals. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, quite pliant tannins Gentle grip, but there is certainly structure evident here with quite a tannic fisnish. This will needtime ine the cellar".

The 2012 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2022): 91/100 "The 2012 Clos du Marquis has more horsepower on the nose compared to the 2012 Talbot. the fruit is slightly darker, though the oak is well-integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with a lightly spiced entry, granular in texture, a touch of white pepper sprinkled over the red fruit with just a very slight but welcome bitterness on the finish that lends it edge."

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 94/100 "The 2022 Lagrange is a gorgeous, classy wine. Crushed flowers, mint, cinnamon and lavender meld into a core of bright red-toned fruit. Lagrange handled the rigors of the growing season well. I especially admire its precision and nuance. Lively floral and citrus notes lift the finish beautifully."

J-M Quarin (February 2025): 95/100 "Dark, intense, purple and lively colour. Very aromatic nose, with fresh, ripe fruit, perfectly matched to the oak. Full-bodied on the attack, delicately textured on the mid-palate, the wine glides and develops into a dense, slender, deep wine with a long, sappy finish. It's superb!"

J-M Quarin (April 2022): 92/100 “Beautiful deep, dark color. Very aromatic nose, fine, fruity, fresh and ripe. Soft on the entry, juicy in the middle and as always very tasty, the wine caresses the palate, bursting with fruit. It finishes long, with a hint of ink and fleshy tannins. Very good."

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 94/100 “ The 2021 Lagrange turned out beautifully. Succulent red cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco, spice and mocha infuse the 2021 with gorgeous depth. Soft, succulent and inviting, Lagrange is wonderfully appealing. It will drink well with minimal cellaring.”

The 2020 vintage in the press:

Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2024): 94/100

Vinous (N. Martin - December 2022): 94/100 “The bouquet is delicious and precise, with mineral notes of black fruits, touches of undergrowth and a subtle influence of the sea and oyster shell. The palate is detailed and mineral, very pure and harmonious, with a blend of red and black fruits, silky and impressively deep. This is quintessential Larange, very seductive and I bet it will be underrated by some. Not me.”

Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2024): 95/100

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2023): 95/100 “The 2019 Lagrange has an open-knit, classic Saint-Julien nose with black fruit, chimney soot, tobacco, and a light sprinkling of white pepper. There is a little more earthiness here. The palate is understated and fleshy, gentle grip, more approachable than its peers, pure but without the same grip and backbone on the finish. Very seductive.”

J-M Quarin (March 2022): 94/100 “Bravo! Lagrange regains its Outsider position in this vintage.”

See the data sheet

The 2018 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2021): 94/100 "The 2018 is charming and gracious. Sweet, lifted aromatics and mid-weight structure give the 2018 tons of immediacy. Bright red berries, blood orange, mint, spice, tose petal and cedar build with time in the glass. Polished, silky tannins grace the beautifully persisitent finish. Best of all, the 2018 will be ready to go with only minimal cellaring."

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “True to its style, is delicious, melted and very refined, with silky tannins. ”

J.M Quarin (February 2024): 93/100

Vinous (N. Martin - November 2023): 93/100 “ The 2021 Langoa Barton comes in a specially designed, one-off, hand-drawn label and sustainable cardboard box instead of wood, to celebrate the bicentenary of family ownership. The aromatics have actually moved up a step since I tasted it from barrel: intense blackberry and wild strawberry fruit crushed violet and just a hint of eucalyptus. The oak is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with surprisingly plush black fruit, a suave and harmonious Langoa with a dash of spice toward the finish. This is packed full of flavor and will be difficult to resist in its youth.”

The 2019 vintage in the press:

Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2024): 93/100

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2023): 94/100 “The 2019 Langoa Barton has a much more classically-hewn bouquet with blackberry, gravel, freshly rolled tobacco and smoke billowing from the quite. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet ripe tannins. It doesn't quite have the depth of its peers, though it is very well balanced, but it closes up shop on the finish. Cellar this for another 8-10 years.”

La Revue du Vin de France (September 2022): 95/100 “The vintage suits it perfectly, giving it a suave roundness on the mid-palate, which makes it very greedy. The fresh, sapid finish lingers well.”

The 2018 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2021): 92/100 "The Langoa Barton is succulent and racy right out of the gate. Inky red fruit, sweet floral notes, cedar and spice all mesh together effortlessly. This mid-weight, pliant Saint-Julien is every bit as seductive as it was from barrel."

La Revue du Vin de France (November 2020): 93/100 “A material worked on delicacy and a fruitiness that remains bright. Already very seductive.”

The 2015 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2017): 93/100 "What a nice surprise the 2015 Langoa-Barton is. Racy, silky and forward, the 2015 will drink well with minimal cellaring. Succulent red cherry and pomegranate fruit are nicely lifted by floral and spice notes that add aromatic intensity and layers of flavor. Silky tannins add to the wine's considerable immediacy and sheer appeal."

See the technical sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 93/100 "The 2022 La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou is a huge, dense wine. A blast of dark cherry, plum, chocolate, leather, incense and new leather saturates the palate. Broad, ample and explosive, with staining intensity, La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou is a plush, opulent Saint-Julien. There's tremendous textural presence here, with the tannins to match."

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 Coup de ♥ “La Croix assumes itself as the second wine, even though it's based on a dedicated plot. Built around Cabernets, it is straightforward, savory and sapid, with superb volume and integrated tannins on the palate.”

Vinous (N. Martin - December 2023): 93/100 “ The 2021 La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou has a beautifully defined bouquet xhereby the Cabernet Sauvignon rules the roost, imparting fine minéralité and an attractive marine influence, quite cool and classic the palate is very saline on the entry, like walking down to the impressively persistent finish, this is a superb 2021 that will give 20 years of pleasure. This is just a whisker away in quamity from the Gran Vin.”

The 2016 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2020): 93/100 "The 2016 Croix de Beaucaillou has a very attractive bouquet of high-toned but controlled blackberry and blueberry fruit neatly enmeshed with some quality nex oak. The medium-bodied palate delivers fine-boned tannins, well-judged acidity and a silky-smooth, sensual finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is a very impressive 2016."

See the technical sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2025): 94/100 "The 2022 Talbot was bottled in May. Estate Director Jean-Michel Laporte commented that the sees it as a combination of 2018, 2019 and 2020, though better than those vintages. The 2022 has a tightly knit bouquet, crisp and clean a little "cooler" in style than i recall and I mean that in a positive way. It neatly shrugs off the warmth of that growing season. There's wonderful purity of fruit here, tinged with tobacco and light chimney soot scents. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit-a quintessential Talbot, with a little more horsepower than recent vintages but fine precision and strucure on the finish. I appreciate the finesse of the tannins and the weight throughout this Saint-Julien."

J-M Quarin (February 2025): 90/100 "Dark, intense, slightly evolved colour. Very aromatic nose, with ripe, sunny fruit. Meticulous and fragrant on the palate, but light, which could be more structured."

The 2016 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2016): 92/100 "The 2016 Talbot has an airy, well-defined bouquet of blackberry cedar and light minty aromas, perhaps more Pauillac than Saint-Julien. The medium-bodied palate delivers gritty tannins, a fine bead of acidity and a graphite-infused finish. This is very fine for Talbot, a Saint-Julien hewn in a typically classic style."
