Reviews
Robert Parker 88-90
The 2015 Tabuteau has a crisp redcurrant and cranberry scented bouquet. The palate is well balanced, classic in style, a little leafy perhaps, but I like the terroir expression here with plenty of freshness on the light-hearted finish. This is worth seeking out.

Technical Details
Estate
Since 1850, The Bessou family, generations after generations of wine-growers, have cultivated the Saint-Emilion ground. Each generation handing down the art and the passion of vine’s culture in total respect with old traditions. This succession of generations demonstrates the Bessou family’s passion for wine.
Today Sylvie and Bertrand Bessou work in the three familial properties: Chateau Durand-Laplagne in Puisseguin St Emilion, Chateau De Tabuteau in Lussac St. Emilion, Chateau Cap de Merle in Bordeaux Superieur.
Tasting notes
Powerful yet refined this fantastic wine with its beautiful deep red colour has hints of dark ripe fruit and cinnamon on the nose. These spicy flavours come through on a lively palate and only add to a long pleasing finish.
