Lynn van der Linde rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

The Château Reysson Cru Bourgeouis from the northern Bordeaux region of Haut-Médoc is a definite crowd pleaser. Different from the usual gravel terroir of Bordeaux, the unique clay soil of Château Reysson produces a very sultry and luxurious wine. Dark purple in the glass, with prevailing cassis and black pepper aromas, and a soft mouth feel.

If you aren't familiar with Cru Bourgeouis, it's the next level of “perfection” only after the Grand Cru status. Each year, there is a grading in the standard of quality of Bordeaux wines, and only the finest and second finest are called Grand Cru and Cru Borgeouis, respectively. Cru Bourgeouis can be a more affordable, but still status-worthy Bordeaux Cru selection.

Tasted April 2017.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
