Wine Spectator
A tight and integrated Moulis, with ripe fruit and tannins, full body and a chewy yet silky-textured finish. As it should be.
Barrel Sample: 89-92 Points -
Wine Enthusiast
A bright, shiny wine, spiced with blackcurrants and sweet plums, very fruity, dancing with liveliness.
Barrel Sample: 90-92 Points -

This shows a solid core of dark fruits such as blueberries and blackberries, with hints of flowers. Full body, with a fine tannin structure and a clean finish. Give it time. Try in 2017.
From grandmother to son to grandson, a passion for winemaking has inspired three generations of the Flageul family to implement new processes and techniques to improve winemaking and produce the highest-quality wines. In 2000, a new wine cellar was built to house state-of-the-art stainless steel vats (capacity 3300 hectoliters) and the barrel chai was rehauled to include precise temperature and humidity control systems for its 600 barrels. The year 2000 also saw the inauguration of a tasting room overlooking Chateau Brillettes breathtaking expanse of vines.
