Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points “Purchased by Olivier Decelle, who also owns property in Saint-Émilion and a negociant business in Burgundy, this estate is producing impressive wines. This bottling is richly structured while preserving all the ripe blackberry fruits and intense acidity.”

Jeb Dunnick: “Another Haut Médoc that overdelivers is the 2015 Château Maurac. Based on 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot from vines plated just north of Saint-Estèphe, it offers a forward, supple, beautifully balanced style as well as notes of black raspberries, spice, flowers and lead pencil, moderate acidity and sweet tannin, all of which make for a delicious, sumptuous 2015 to enjoy over the coming 7-8 years.”
