From acclaimed wine magnate Bernard Magrez (proprietor of Cru Classé Château Pape Clément), the Cuvée d'Exception is a tremendous value for Médoc wine! Sourced from 45-year-old vines near Saint-Christoly-Médoc and matured in new French oak for 16 months, this bottling is intense, balanced, and structured, with rich flavors of black fruit, exotic spice, and cedar. Expect even more woodsy spice to appear over the next decade of aging, but this is hard to resist now!
 
90-92 Points - Robert Parker!
"A stunning wine from Bernard Magrez's holdings in the Medoc, this equal part blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon offers up plenty of creme de cassis, licorice, incense and high quality, subtle new oak."

A stunning wine from Bernard Magrez's holdings in the Medoc, this equal part blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon offers up plenty of creme de cassis, licorice, incense and high quality, subtle new oak. Powerful, concentrated, deep and layered, this beauty can be consumed over the next decade. It is produced from 45-year-old vines.
