Vinous - Neal Martin (93)The 2018 Desmirail impressed out of barrel. Now bottled, it still represents one of the best vintages that I have tasted from this Margaux estate. Gorgeous blackberry and raspberry scents feature on the nose, the new oak supportive and beautifully enmeshed. The palate is very well balanced with supple tannins, a keen line of acidity and a chalky-textured finish that is extremely well focused. This is a great success for Denis Lurton and his team. Tasted twice with consistent notes. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (94)The 2016 Destieux has turned out beautifully. A gorgeous, modern Saint-Émilion, Destieux offers tremendous depth and textural resonance from the outset. Dark, jammy fruit, chocolate, spice and new leather take on exotic shades of dimension. Destieux is a decidedly flamboyant Saint-Émilion endowed with superb richness and tons of sheer appeal. This is a terrific showing. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (89-91)The 2018 Destieux has a lovely, ripe, blueberry and cassis scented bouquet with violet petals that emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet saturated tannins and moderate acidity. It lacks a little structure on the finish and the new oak is too vocal, but hopefully that will resolve itself by the time of bottling. Let’s see. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (93)The 2019 Destieux is packed with inky dark fruit, chocolate, spice, new leather, licorice and sweet oak. This flamboyant Saint-Émilion is all about immediacy and textural richness, both of which it has in spades, as well as the tannic grip of Cabernet Sauvignon, which is not often seen in Saint-Émilion. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (88)The 2020 Destieux has a clean but slightly overdone nose with light peppermint scents coming through with aeration. The palate is full-bodied with quite dense tannins. It's plush but less overbearing than I have found previous vintages of Destieux, managing to retain some freshness and precision on the finish. I'll keep an eye on this. |

Jeb Dunnuck (92)I loved the 2021 Château Destieux, a classy, medium-bodied, impressive 2021 that has ample darker berry fruits, some classy background oak, ripe tannins, and textbook Saint-Emilion notes of graphite, crushed stone, and leafy herbs. It's beautiful today yet should benefit from just a few years of bottle age. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (91)The 2016 Deyrem Valentin is soft, plush and inviting. Dark cherry, chocolate, new leather, licorice and spice are pushed forward in a silky, supple Margaux that offers tremendous near and medium term appeal. Floral notes add brightness on the finish as the 2016 acquires a bit more finesse with time in the glass. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (89)The 2020 Deyrem Valentin retains its precocious, licorice-tinged bouquet, pressed iris flowers, hints of candied orange peel emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity, a little soft on the finish but with satisfying length. This will be quite approachable and should drink over the next decade. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (89-91)The 2021 Deyrem Valentin contains more Cabernet this year at 75% of the blend. This really shows on the nose that is dark in fruit with lifted graphite and cedar aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite fresh, slightly chalky in texture, maybe missing just a little sensuality on the finish. It needs three years to fully absorb the oak. But there is a citrus element to this Margaux that I like, with satisfying length. |

Bordeaux has some of the most premium wines in the world with its famous First Growths heralded as far back as Jefferson. However it must be noted that Bordeaux also offers an excellent range, with plenty of great value wines available. Bordeaux has 54 different appellations with varying soil types that give different styles. It has thousands of chateaux, from the small and humble to the overwhelmingly magnificent.
