OUR WINES
Wine-grower’s word
" The year 2012 was exceptionally absorbing. With a rainy spring, arid summer, and tropical October, it would have been easy to harvest a medium-quality grape. But that was not the case. We were able to elaborate and chose the best grapes thanks to technical progress and this cuvee is really a success. "

" Aeration confirms first impressions. Bordeaux traditional blends are perfectly identifiable. Attack in mouth is open, clear and smooth; merlots’ quality is without a hitch: its roundness and juice’s purity. Cabernet structures the wine very softly and increases with a fine bitterness. The wine stays with a fine chillness, and reveals an incredible balance with a very elegant tannins base. The middle of the mouth is mellow and gourmet. The finish is long and delicate. "

Simplicité
" The plots with which we elaborate Côte de Bordeaux are divided into various lands, which create the strength of Darlan’s Estate. This wine, with a Cabernet-Sauvignon dominant feature, is gourmet and strong, the Merlot harvested in 2012 brings all necessary intensity. "
