This exceptional vintage is the fruit of a sunny summer after mild and wet winter and spring. He comes to join the lineage of the solar great vintages.
R.PARKER 90/100 :
“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. Mediumbodied, the palate is packed with juicy black fruits and savory layers with a firm frame of grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long.”
NEAL MARTIN 91/100 :
“The 2016 Raut has an elegant bouquet of black fruits infused with graphite. The palate is well defined and offers soft tannins, plenty of black cherry and raspberry and a silky finish. This Côtes de Bordeaux is recommended.”

Thanks to the topography of the vineyard located on hillside with a south exposure, Château REAUT was totally protected from the 2017 frost. The vintage was early, we began to harvest the merlots on September 6th, and finished with the cabernets on September 24th!
MARKUS DEL MONEGO 90/100
“Elegant nose with retained fruit, a discreet grilled. Well structured with ripe tannins, a good length. One of the good surprises in 2017”
JAMES SUCKLING 89-90/100
“A well made Côtes de Bordeaux, which presents lots of juicy tannins, a good portion of fruit. With a nice liveliness…”

DECANTER 92/100:
« This feels like a serious Reaut – inky with deep extraction and concentrated to the point that the ink spills over the fruit but this is successful delivering for the AOC and then some. Drinking Window 2022 – 2036 ».
YVES BECK 90-92/100
« Purplish purple. The bouquet of Reaut reveals itself slowly. He is first shut up on him and needs aeration. After a few minutes it is more expressive and I note notes of black berries such as blueberries, a chalky side and a touch of graphite. At the palate the wine is fond and balanced. Juicy and fruity character, beautiful tannic presence and lingering finish.»
JAMES SUCKLING 90-91/100
« Round and juicy tannins give attractive texture to the ripe and delicious fruit in this young red. Solid finish ».
