Jose Penin, the famous Spanish critic, has not been in Saint Emilion for quite a while and we had the opportunity to see him at home to taste some wines presented by Jean Guyon which was nice for Rollan de By, Tour Seran; our Roussillon wines also received nice comments and notes (with Hugo 96/100). Our friends Zonin and Andrea Franchetti were also spoiled, as well as our wines Valandraud and Virginie de Valandraud.
In any case, José Penin is always smiling and seems to enjoy his job.
The Wine Spectator released some more notes on Bordeaux 2011
