Product Info
The 2023 Merlot La Grande Réserve offers depth, complexity, and remarkable aromatic detail. The nose lifts with violet, raspberry, and pomegranate, layered with cedar, eucalyptus, and a fragrant note of tobacco leaf.
The palate is rich and expressive, with black cherry, black currant, and a hint of cocoa carrying through the midpalate. Bright acidity and integrated tannins provide focus and structure, while warmth, fruit, and spice linger on a long, generous finish. A wine built to age, with the depth and balance to evolve gracefully in bottle.

John Szabo - 94 points - Plush and dense but balanced merlot here, evolving and showing well at the moment, with a wide and appealing range of red and black fruit, freshly turned earth, moving slowly but inexorably towards black truffle, with high quality, integrated oak influence. Queylus takes some cues from Bordeaux, and indeed this would sit comfortably alongside many St. Emilion wines to be sure. Lovely stuff. Best from 2027 - I feel it has more to give. Tasted July 2026.
Aged 16-18 months in French Oak Barrels.
100% Wild Fermentation.
