Area under vine at the estate, from its technical sheet — it does not change from one vintage to the next. Each vintage’s blend, by contrast, departs from it: that figures on its own page.

Footprint, parcels and their split are measured on the Compagnie Médocaine’s own parcel survey; elevation, slope and aspect on the Mapbox terrain-rgb digital terrain model, derived from IGN’s RGE ALTI over France. Compare with the blend on the technical sheet, at the top of the page: the two answer different questions.

| Vintage | Best score | Vintage character | Technical sheet |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | — | The extreme drought was absorbed by the clays: a sun-driven concentration, but without the expected harshness. | fiche · PDF |
| 2021 | — | Frost followed by a cool summer brought back classic wines, lighter and more taut, to be drunk in their youth. | fiche · PDF |
| 2020 | — | An early, dry year gave splendid wines, which many rank above 2018. | fiche · PDF |
| 2019 | — | A hot end of summer on rehydrated soils gave a rare balance between freshness and substance. | fiche · PDF |
| 2018 | — | After the mildew, the heat concentrated a small harvest: rich, ripe and very dense wines. | fiche · PDF |
| 2017 | — | Frost struck the slope-foot vines: the plateaus saved the day, and the vintage must be judged plot by plot. | fiche · PDF |
| 2016 | — | A dry summer on full water reserves gave fresh, deep wines, magical on the asteria limestone. | fiche · PDF |
| 2015 | — | A hot summer refreshed by August rains gave the great Right Bank vintage: sublime, built on fruit and depth. | fiche · PDF |
| 2014 | — | The Indian summer served the cabernet francs better than the merlots: sound, fresh wines, without great depth. | fiche · PDF |
| 2013 | — | Coulure decimated the merlots and the rain did the rest: a light vintage, where the gap between terroirs is wider than usual. | fiche · PDF |
| 2011 | — | A warm spring followed by a wet summer gave classic wines, best drunk relatively young. | fiche · PDF |
