89 points Wine Enthusiast: "It takes a while to get beyond the dry structure of this wine. But underneath that initially forbidding exterior, there is a solid core of ripe, sweet black fruits and an elegant balance with the acidity coming through to finish well. A wine for some aging--maybe 3-4 years. Alcohol 13%. (Dec 2009)"
50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. 30% of the wine was aged for 18 months in new French oak; 70% in 1-year-old oak. 2006 was a very good vintage at du Seuil. The wine has many of the characteristics of a classic Bordeaux vintage: good acidity, concentrated, forward tannins and a complex, pleasant fruitiness. Multiple levels of structure and integrated oak flavors.

87 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "The wines are also released at a leisurely pace, so that Domaine Aux Moines’s 2006 Savennieres - Roche Aux Moines represents their current release... offers a fascinating combination of peach, citrus oils, raw mushroom, and alkaline, wet stone suggestions of things mineral. In the mouth, this is richly peachy with prominent citrus oil and peach kernel bitterness. It preserves more than a modicum of fresh fruit juiciness... I would plan to serve this wine over the next couple of years. (Aug 2010)"
Producer notes: "Our Estate offers a single dry vintage wine: the 'Domaine aux Monies'. This is a dry white wine, made from 100% Chenin Blanc grown on a clay shale terroir, with excellent ageability."

89 points Robert Parker: "La Clotte’s 2006 is a sexy, dense, deep ruby/purple-hued wine possessing plenty of black cherry and black raspberry fruit, hints of licorice and dusty, loamy soil, and subtle background oak. Fleshy and medium to full-bodied with a distinct earthy component in the mid-palate, this is a lush, succulent St.-Emilion that is meant to be consumed during its first 10-12 years of life. (Feb 2009)"
89 points Wine Spectator: "Berry and spice aromas and flavors follow through to a full body, with velvety tannins and a long aftertaste of wet earth. The tannins are a little aggressive. Best after 2011. 1,165 cases made. (2009)"
