WEINWISSER: "Delikates rot- und blaubeeriges Bouquet, frischer Schattenmorellensaft, Heidekraut und parfümierter Pfeifentabak. Am kompakten Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, stützender nerviger Rasse, engmaschigem Tanninkorsett und geradlinigem Körper. Im konzentrierten Finale eine Explosion von Heidelbeeren, Graphit und feinkörniger Adstringenz. So gut habe ich diesen St.-Émilion von Jean-Philippe Janoueix noch nie zuvor degustiert – Bravo!"

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Flowers, spice, smoke, black raspberries, licorice, cherries, and plums shoot from the glass. Medium-bodied, silky, fresh, and lifted, the fruits are clean, pure, bright, and sweet. There is length, definition, and complexity. With Thomas Duclos as the new consultant, this is a property to watch. The wine blends 70% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Malbec. 13.5% ABV. Drink from 2027-2045."

JAMES SUCKLING: "A juicy wine with plenty of berries and a floral note. Medium body. Some good fruit at the core."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Aromas of dark berries, cherries, rose petals and licorice introduce the 2023 La Confession, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy, layered wine that concludes with a mineral finish. This estate on the plateau and north slope of Saint-Émilion has stopped deleafing and green harvesting in the vineyards and is now blending earlier and refining cooperage choices in the cellar."
