2016 Château Du Parc

The vines for this wine come from two distinct terroirs: a sand and gravel terroir at Saint-Sulpice-de-Faleyrens and a clay-limestone terroir further north. Complexity, power, elegance and intensity define this wine.

"Attractive graphite and flinty notes with deeply ripe, red and purple fruit on offer, as well as cedary oak influence. The palate has a succulent, juicy and focused core with impressive length and balance. Great wine. Try from 2022." James Suckling : 94/100

"Recently sold by Alain Raynaud and now owned by Damien Landour of Château Gaby, with Hubert de Bouard consulting. It is still high in oak, but it is silky and sexy, with liquorice, dark chocolate and rich dark berry fruits. 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, enabled by Raynaud purchases of new plots." Jane Anson (Decanter): 90/100
