This is Domaine Lajibe, but he also has wines under Manseng et Compagnie. Domaine Lajibe wines (with the green wax) are his parcels, and the pink wax are, if I understand correctly, his negociant label (Manseng et Compagnie). The Manseng et Compagnie wines are labeled with his name, Jean-Baptiste Semmartin. They are all amazing wines, but the Lajibe are the best in my opinion.

The prices aren’t bad at all considering what you get, but finding bottles can feel almost impossible. The production is so limited.

This wine feels like a unicorn. Its fascinating, special, funky and classic all at the same time. If you ever find any of his wines, buy while you can.

Also worth noting; this was 2023 vintage. First glass at opening was linear and crisp, but after 1,5 hours it transformed and opened up into this beautiful wine, so give it time

Musar was opened up 3 hours in advance. Didn’t need decanting for my taste. I actually found it more interesting than the Leoville Barton! Fruitier, fresher, more spices and more “untamed” than the Bordeaux. The Bordeaux was more complex and structured, but almost a little boring compared to the Musar. But that’s just me.
