WINE SPECTATOR GREAT BORDEAUX VALUES
The Rouzaud family, owner of Champagne Louis Roederer is to take the reins at Bernadotte
and its more prestigious sister-estate Pichon Longueville Lalande, following a deal with current owners the de Lencquesaing family. May-Eliane de Lencquesaing bought Bernadotte, located a mile or so from Pichon, in 1997 and her investment in the vineyards and cellars has resulted in excellent wines of late. Look for the 2003, which is the property´s best ever.

Lots of blackberry and spice character. Medium-bodied , with fine tannins , a medium finish and pretty fruit. A delicate wine. best after 2007.
