"The 2016 Réaut has a classy bouquet of graphite-infused black fruit. The palate is well defined, offering supple tannin, plenty of pure black cherry and raspberry fruit and a silky-smooth finish. This Côtes de Bordeaux comes recommended."
91 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous, December 2018
"Fully into its stride, with soft blackcurrant, vibrant cherry, spice and warm gravel tones, in what is a fine-grained, classy claret ripe for drinking."
90 Points - Decanter World Wine Awards 2021
"I love the ripe blackcurrants, blueberries and delicate herbs in this wine. They enable it to carry the generous dry tannins very well and they drive the long finish. A blend of 58 per cent merlot, 37 per cent cabernet sauvignon and five per cent cabernet franc. Needs some time to resolve all the structure, so better from 2020."
90 Points - James Suckling, Jan 2019
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Reaut gives up warm black plums, crushed blackberries and cassis scents with hints of pencil lead, wild thyme, tar and smoked meats. Medium-bodied, the palate is packed with juicy black fruits and savory layers with a firm frame of grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long."

Overlooking the river Garonne and South-West oriented, the Reaut estate benefits from a high level of sunshine, just the right amount of wind and an optimal natural drainage linked to the altitude and the vineyard's slope. An ideal terroir for grapes and ripen the perfect place. Chateau Reaut endowed himself with a gravity system and some revolutionary inverted vats, producing dense, fruity and velvety wines from a plot vinification.
The ageing is made in oak barrels and in amphoraes. The new cellar was inaugurated in September 2018. The resolutely modern building is magnified by a gorgeous panoramic view of the vineyard and the river Garonne from a magnificent 200m terrace. The VAT's uniqueness makes Reaut a pioneer in the wine world.
It's important to remember that taste is subjective, and personal preferences play a significant role.
