94 Points - Decanter

Savory and perfumed, the 2019 Vieux Maillet combines black currant with saline and truffle nuances. The palate is expansive, layering dark and dried fruits with an appealing mineral character. Velvety, smooth and gently mouth-coating, it maintains excellent freshness and persistence through the finish. A blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.

92 Points - James Suckling

Grilled herbs, iron, damp earth and subtle sweet spices complement ripe plum, berries, potpourri and cooked grapefruit. Juicy and medium-bodied, the palate offers rounded tannins and attractive freshness, leading into a composed and persistent finish. Already approachable and well suited to earlier drinking.

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Super-ripe Merlot gives this wine a succulent, rich and densely packed character. Generous blackberry fruit is balanced by solid tannins, while multiple layers of ripeness provide depth and concentration. Structured yet generous, it promises further development with bottle age. Best from 2025 onward.
