2025 La Chenade Pre-Arrival Offer

Lalande de Pomerol, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$44. 99
Bottle
$539.88 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 La Chenade is fabulous. Beautifully perfumed and sumptuous, La Chenade is drop-dead gorgeous. The purity of the flavors is just remarkable. Silky tannins add to an impression of total finesse. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, rose petal and a discreet touch of oak linger on the refined, resonant finish. What a delight. Drink 2030-2040.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous
A focused and textural blend of 85% merlot and 15% cabernet franc with plenty of precision and freshness. Blue fruit and some peppercorns on the nose, following through to a medium body with chalky tannins. Vivid and flavorful, with a long, grainy finish.
93-94 points

Always the more pleasure-bent, forward, and supple release from this Lalande-de-Pomerol estate, the 2025 La Chenade sports a deep purple hue as well as a beautiful nose of black plums, blue fruits, graphite, and chocolate, and it has an almost Pomerol-like vibe. It's ripe and medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a round, supple mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and tons of charm.

Smooth and juicy, clean and clear with a lovely balance and harmony between chalky red fruit and cool, fresh acidity with super fine tannins. Elegant and accessible, a really easy wine to approach here with a less-is-more take. Nothing pushed or overdone. Chaptalised one plot. 85m, 15cf. 13.5%. A yield of 32hl/ha. Ageing 40% new oak. Drink 2027-2038.

2025 La Petite Eglise Pre-Arrival Offer

Pomerol, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$118. 00
Bottle
$1416.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 La Petite Eglise is a very pretty, open-knit second wine. It offers fine persistence and balance. I find it just a touch light texturally, perhaps because this vintage includes a bit of fruit from relatively young vines. The 2025 might not quite have the depth or complexity of the very best years, but it comes close. Best of all, it will drink beautifully on release. Drink 2028-2037.
91-93 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
A salty red with fresh acidity and vivid, very polished bright fruit. It’s medium-bodied with a lovely center palate and a defined finish. Very typical and classy. A blend of 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc.
94-95 points
James Suckling
Sporting a deep ruby/plum hue, the 2025 La Petite Eglise gives up a beautiful array of red, blue, and black fruits intermixed with sappy flowers, chocolate, and graphite on the nose. I love its purity, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a pure, layered mouthfeel and fine tannins. It's almost too good for a second wine.
92-94 points
Jeb Dunnuck
So fragrant with Chinese five spice, cinnamon, something sweetly exotic about the spiced touches along with dried flowers and dark bramble fruit. Supple and bouncy, so well executed with such a creamy, smooth texture that really enrobes the mouth in ripe but cool, fresh blue fruit aspects. Chalky, stony touches come in on the finish with a long-lasting floral edged finish. Incredible harmony as it strikes a really great balance between concentration, weight and freshness with no one element overtaking the other. Absolutely delicious with great construction and so accessible – this will give a lot of pleasure. A joyful wine. Ageing 65% new oak. Drink 2030-2044.

2025 Chateau Lynch Bages Pre-Arrival Offer

Pauillac, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$210. 00
Bottle
$2520.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Along with Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste also from Pauillac, Chateau Lynch Bages continue to rise well above their lowly ranking of Fifth Growth status. While it’s true they haven’t been as consistent as some of the higher classified properties, in the great years they make wines equal to anything else in the region. This is most clearly evident with legendary wines such as the 1961, 1989, 1990, and most recently the 2016.
Plantings on the 100 hectare property are 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. The wine is normally powerful and concentrated, but also has great complexity and is known for ageing extremely well.
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Lynch-Bages wafts from the glass with aromas of dark wild berries, lead pencil and spices, framed by well-integrated new oak. Full-bodied, dense and concentrated, it’s deep and muscular, with a broad-shouldered profile, yet more velvety and precise than usual, showing a touch of freshness through the mid-palate, concluding with a long, cassis-inflected finish. Without departing from its customary style—combining power and generosity in youth—it is more approachable en primeur, with softer, more polished tannins than in recent vintages. This is a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, matured with 75% new oak.
94-97 points
Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Lynch-Bages was picked 9 to 21 September and matured in 75% new oak barrels. This has a stunning bouquet with exceptionally pure blackberry, cassis and subtle violet scents, the oak seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with finely embroidered tannins, perfect acidity, a touch of cedar and black pepper that dovetails into a peacock's tail finish that “clings” to the mouth. This continues the strongest run from Lynch-Bages since the 1980s and, perhaps with the 2025, it is close to surpassing that. Drink 2032-2060.
96-98 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
Lots of great energy, with a precision and focus that sends you down the road to gorgeous dark fruits and mineral nuances. A cool, minty note. Medium- to full-bodied. Racy and intense, with a lightness at the end. Juicy fruit, too. A blend of 66% cabernet sauvignon, 28% merlot, 3% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot.
97-98 points
James Suckling
Currants, smoky oak, chocolate, and hints of violets all define the 2025 Château Lynch-Bages, a remarkably balanced, elegant Pauillac from this estate that has more than a passing resemblance to the 2019. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has ultra-fine tannins and nicely integrated acidity, and it builds beautifully with time in the glass. It should have some reasonable accessibility, but as with most vintages here, the cellar will be your friend.
96-98 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Dried floral scents, some cocoa powder, mint, red berries and sweet rose petals. Clean and crystalline, a lovely purity and soft chalky touch to the tannins which fill the mouth but don’t overwhelm. Feels quite a restrained style for Lynch, delicate almost, a gentle lick of liquorice, slate and wet stone with blackcurrant fruit. Quite a long style, very charming, juicy but really overall quite finessed/hands off. Ageing will add on a bit of added texture. Grippy, fleshy, chalky but cool. 3% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 3.68pH. Drink 2033-2050.

2025 Chateau Ormes de Pez Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Estephe, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$57. 99
Bottle
$695.88 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
Revealing elegant oak alongside dark wild berries and mulberries, with spices emerging with aeration, the 2025 Ormes de Pez is medium- to full-bodied, structured and somewhat firm at this stage. It shows good length and notable freshness, while retaining a dense, well-defined profile.
90-92 points
Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Ormes de Pez was picked 9 to 22 September and matured in 20% new oak barrels. This is very refined on the nose with brambly black fruit, crushed stone and light humidor scents, focused and classically styled. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid black fruit, armed with a fine bead of acidity. Black merges into redder fruit towards the finish with commendable length. This Saint-Estèphe has a newfound fluidity which has taken it up a level. Superb. Drink 2030-2055.
94-96 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
A medium-bodied red with fine tannins and plenty of spice and fruit, with a real sense of St.-Estephe. Juicy and long. Delicious already for barrel. A blend of 58% merlot, 35% cabernet sauvignon, 4% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot.
94-95 points
James Suckling
A Merlot-heavy blend of 58% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot that's resting in 20% new oak, the 2025 Château Ormes De Pez is a little gem of a wine that should be snatched up by readers. Ripe currants, plums, smoky tobacco, and chocolate all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, round, supple, and charming, with ample mid-palate volume and length.
92-94 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Lovely fragrance on the nose, so floral and alive, really pronounced aromatics. Brisk acidity makes the first mark, juicy strawberries and raspberries but there’s tension too driving this wine in one straight line. Tight but lovely detail, fine tannins, a firm, salty grip to the finish. A little lean but this will fill out. Liquorice, tobacco, bitter chocolate and flint. 3% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Drink 2028-2040.

2025 Chateau Talbot Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Julien, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$115. 00
Bottle
$1380.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
Bright and harmonious, the 2025 Talbot wafts from the glass with aromas of mulberries, violet, cassis, dark cherries and spice, framed by well-integrated oak. Medium- to full-bodied, it’s concentrated and dense, built around a massive core of fruit framed by structured, youthful tannins and concludes with a somewhat firm, gently bitter finish. It's a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot.
91-93 points
Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Talbot contains the highest ever Petit Verdot (9%) this year due to more generous yields. Picked from September 5 to 22, a little quicker than expected as Laporte spotted some botrytis, at 28 hl/ha, this is matured in 60% new oak barrels. It has a generous bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit intermixed with mocha and light undergrowth scents, typical Talbot. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, well judged acidity, satisfying weight and density on the mid-palate that had been lacking in vintages past. A little more grip on the grainy-textured finish, lightly spiced with a hint of powdered chocolate, if you seek a classic Saint-Julien and, it must be said, often at a reasonable price, then look no further. Drink 2031-2050.
93-95 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
This is juicy and incisive, with expressive dark fruit and fine-grained, almost grainy tannins. A savory quality in the long finish. Persistent and cohesive.
95-96 points
Jacobo García Andrade - JamesSuckling.com
Ruby-hued, the 2025 Château Talbot is a beautiful Saint-Julien based on 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 9% Petit Verdot that's being raised 16 months in 60% new French oak. Its pretty nose of spicy red and black fruits, dried flowers, and graphite is followed by a medium-bodied Talbot with soft tannins, wonderful balance, and a great finish. I love its overall balance, and it's an impeccably made, elegant effort that has tons to love.

2025 Chateau Lascombes Pre-Arrival Offer

Margaux, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$140. 00
Bottle
$1680.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Cabernet France and Petit Verdot, the 2025 Lascombes unwinds in the glass with notes of inky berries, pencil shavings and a subtle hint of violet. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, with a layered, muscular profile and ripe tannins that assert themselves on the finish, its broad shoulders are derived from low yields (25 hectoliters per hectare) rather than extraction, as Heinz and his team capped fermentation temperatures at 25 degrees Celsius and handled the wines gently after alcoholic fermentation was complete.
92-94 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Lascombes marks another hugely important step forward for this reborn château. Silky yet quite powerful, the 2025 is seamless in the glass. Dark Cabernet Sauvignon fruit opens first, followed by hints of graphite, new leather, incense, tobacco and scorched earth. The long, sculpted finish is dramatic in its beauty, shaped by clean mineral notes and refined, persistent tannins. This is truly impressive, and Axel Heinz's best Lascombes yet. Tasted three times. Drink 2035-2065.
95-97+ points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Extremely sophisticated and refined, with fine tannins and a long finish. Medium-bodied, polished and pretty. Currant, blackberry and cherry undertones. Seriously crafted. One of the best ever.
96-97 points
James Suckling
Cassis, graphite, chalky minerality, and spicy wood all define the 2025 Château Lascombes, a much tighter, more focused expression compared to the second wine. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from tiny yields of 25 hectoliters per hectare, harvested between September 8th and 25th, it's resting in 60% new French oak with a small percentage in foudre and amphora. Beautifully concentrated on the palate, it has full-bodied richness, ample tannins, and a great finish. This checks in at 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.59, and the purity here is first rate.
95-97 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Chocolate, blackcurrant and vanilla with blackcurrant leaf, some liquorice and dried flowers on the nose. Grippy and filling but light on its feet in terms of tannic strength. You get the body, the concentration and the intensity but the fruit purity really stands out – blackcurrant, blueberry and black cherry with lots of fresh mint, graphite, cola and liquorice. Quite a stately wine with a streamlined finish. Still young and firm. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 3.6pH. A yield of 25hl/ha. 45% grand vin production. Drink 2035-2045.

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Marquis de Terme is terrific, not to mention one of the finest wines I have tasted here. Rich, ample and explosive, the 2025 has so much to offer, starting with its impressive textural depth. Blackberry, gravel, dark spice and licorice add a palpable dimension of somber intensity, while Floral overtones perk up the close. This is seriously impressive. Tasted three times. Drink 2033-2055.
94-96 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Solid, well made and chalky, with dark berry, dried herb and warm spice aromas. Medium- to full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Persistent finish.
93-94 points
JamesSuckling.com
Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Château Marquis De Terme sports a rich, powerful nose of black fruits, smoke, ripe blueberries, iron, and chocolate. Based on 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot that will spend 14-16 months in 40% new French oak, it's full-bodied on the palate, with a round, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. Checking in at 13% alcohol, it's a powerful expression of this château that still holds onto a solid sense of purity and balance. Notably, this is the first vintage for winemaker Paloma Sénéclauze.
92-94 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Gorgeously pure blackcurrants and black cherries, so precise and fragrant on the nose – really intense and expressive. Sumptuous and succulent, this has a great juiciness with plenty of life and energy. Tannins are prominent and filling but soft and velvety not dry at all. Feels well made. Drink 2032-2045.

$71. 99
Bottle
$863.88 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Faugères is attractive, but also a bit light at this stage. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint, dried herbs, lavender and white pepper lend notable aromatic presence. The 2025 is quite good, but stylistically speaking, it is very different from the past. Tasted two times. Drink 2030-2045.
90-92 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
So much energy in this wine, with freshness, vivid cherry and raspberry character, fine tannins and bright acidity. Medium-bodied. How a 2025 should be. 70% merlot, 25% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon.
96-97 points
James Suckling
Red, blue, and black fruits, graphite, crushed stone, and tons of violet nuances all define the rock-solid 2025 Château Faugères, a beautifully polished, layered Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé. Based on 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon that's being raised 12 months in 33% new barrels with the balance in once-used and neutral oak, it checks in at 13.5% alcohol. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has great balance and length, and it's a great example of this château’s style.
92-94 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Ripe black fruit with liquorice, tobacco and cedar aromas. Sleek and polished, this has both a brightness and subtle power to it. Oak is on show as expected, giving a slightly toasted edge to the pure berry fruit but the tannins are beautifully positioned and integrated. High acidity carries to the long finish. A little firm and tight still, but really well made with poise and finesse. Polished! Yield of 33hl/ha. Ageing 20% stainless steel, 80% in barrels. Drink 2030-2048.

93-94 points
James Suckling
Checking in as a blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc raised entirely in stainless steel, the 2025 Château Cap De Faugères is always a good value, and this vintage is no exception. Red and black raspberry fruits, minty herbs, flowers, and some chocolaty, Saint-Émilion-like minerality all define the nose. Medium-bodied on the palate, it's supple and nicely textured, with outstanding length. This is a charming, seriously impressive barrel sample from Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux.
89-91 points

Crisp and lively, this has tangy acidity with a really cool and fresh base of blueberries and black cherries.

A gourmand, lively bouquet of cassis, dark berries, violet and flowers prefaces the 2025 Sénéjac. Medium- to full-bodied, juicy and enveloping, it’s built around a core of fruit with good depth and framed by velvety tannins, concluding with a long, structured and elegant finish. Particularly approachable this year, it is a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.
90-92 points
Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Sénéjac, aged in 25% new oak, has a well-defined, quite estuarine bouquet that opens in the glass. It evokes a sense of place already. The palate is medium-bodied with firm and quite grippy tannins, harmonious but quite "serious" in style. Good complexity and sapidity, this is a classy and attractive Sénéjac that should age well in bottle. A fine Haut-Médoc. Drink 2032-2049.
91-93 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
Black fruit and fragranced notes on the nose. Smooth and supple, round and really excellently weighted, nothing out of place with plenty of minty cool freshness, licks of graphite, liquorice and wet stones with a softly chalky finish. Excellent bargain this year. Plenty to like, easy to drink with a really classic, approachable aspect. This stands out this year. 3.80pH. A yield of 30hl/ha. 5% Petit Verdot completes the blend.

$599. 00
Bottle
$7188.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
As with a lot of properties in Saint-Emilion, Chateau Angelus has had its share of struggles in the mid-late 1900s, but after taking over from his father in 1988 Hubert de Bouard quickly turned around the property, to the point where it was upgraded to Premier Cru Classe A in 2012. The 27 hectare vineyard used for Chateau Angelus is planted to 50% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. Maturation takes place in 100% new French oak for 18-24 months.

A blend of equal parts Cabernet Franc and Merlot, the 2025 Angélus is already beautifully harmonious, even at this early stage. Unfurling in the glass with notes of sweet dark berries and plums mingled with notions of violets, licorice and spices, it's medium- to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with ripe tannins, lively acids and a long, perfumed finish. Much like its 2022 predecessor, the 2025 underlines that this estate's shift toward greater purity and subtler élevage choices can be sustained even in historically warm years.

William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Angélus (50% Cabernet Franc, 50% Merlot) is a superb contemporary Grand Vin. Aromatic, vibrant and wonderfully fresh, the 2025 dazzles from start to finish. Blood orange, mint, white pepper, rose petal and chalk weave through layers of vibrant red-toned fruit. Here, too, the Grand Vin impresses with its noble purity and understated grace. Élevage is 50% foudre/50% new oak for the Cabernet Franc, and 60% new oak/40% once-filled barrels for the Merlot. I can't wait to see how this ages. Drink 2035-2065.

The 2025 Angélus was picked from September 10 to 20 and Stéphanie de Bouard told me that they halved the pumpovers. The Cabernet Franc is aged half in foudres and half in new barrel, and the Merlot is half in new barrel and half in one-year-old barrels that were used for the 2023 vintage. The alcohol is 14.05% with a pH of 3.6, many grapes showing a gram or more malic acid. This note comes from a narrower Riedel glass that showed the wine in a better and more accurate light. The bouquet opens with blackberry, raspberry, light cassis scents and a touch of iodine, well defined, the oak seated politely in the background. The palate is silky smooth with filigree tannins, very well judged acidity plus palpable underlying sapid notes that come through towards the finish. Fine tension, very focused with a very persistent aftertaste, this is an Angélus with great potential and it should give 25 to 30 years' drinking pleasure. Drink 2033-2060.

The pureness of fruit is exceptional, with a long and linear palate of wonderfully curated raspberry, cherry and blueberry aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied. You almost don’t see the tannins, but you know they are there. So silky and endless. It has the core of fruit of the best of the vintage. 50% merlot and 50% cabernet franc.

Cassis, graphite, violets, iris, and a wonderful sense of minerality all define the 2025 Château Angélus, another ultra-classic Saint-Emilion from this address. It's a 50/50 blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, with the Merlot raised in 60% new oak and 40% once-used oak and the Cabernet Franc split between 50% new oak and 50% foudre. Checking in at 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.6, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with incredible purity, classy background oak, integrated acidity, and a great finish.

A great wine from Angélus this year. Blackcurrant and blue fruit aromas with some dried flowers and soft herbal aspects. Round and generous, wide and filling with amazing definition and creamy texture that few wines have this year. Energy and depth, purity and focus – this is juicy at its core with strawberry and red cherry, mouthwatering. Not an immediate showstopper but this grows in flavour and depth with intensity but no heaviness. Beautiful delineation with a sharp, precise, forward persistence. The energy and balance is flawless. Really an elegant, elongated wine with such nuance of flavour. I love this and think they've done a super job – juicy, this brings a smile to your face. The last vintage with this high a proportion of Cabernet Franc (reflecting plantings and similar berry size was 2014 and 1995). 3.6pH. A yield of 30hl/ha. 50% Cabernet Franc ageing in foudres, 50% in new barrels; Merlot 70% new oak and 30% in one-year-old barrels. Drink 2032-2050.

2025 Chateau Valandraud Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$250. 00
Bottle
$3000.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Valandraud is breathtaking. Its the first vintage made by Jean-Luc Thunevin and Marie Lefévère together. It therefore represents a changing of the guard, now that Lefévère and her husband, Christophe, have taken full ownership of the property after many years holding a minority stake. Vibrant and explosive in the glass, the 2025 Valandraud offers an exotic mélange of dark blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice and mocha. There's gorgeous precision here, much of that coming from more finesse in the tannins. The 2025 is utterly magnificent. Élevage is 90% new oak and 10% 15HL _foudres). Tasted two times. Drink 2035-2065.

Lots of dark fruit with an edge, supported by chalky tannins. Compact and concentrated, with a fresh medium body. The crunchy, chalky tannins help balance the wine’s exuberance. This shows an attractive combination of power, focused tannins, freshness and exuberant fruit, with hints of black mushrooms and ink. Aged for 20 months in 90% new oak and 10% foudres. 84% merlot, 9% cabernet sauvignon and 7% cabernet franc.
96-97 points
James Suckling
Based on 84% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2025 Château Valandraud is aging in 90% new French oak and has a dense purple hue as well as captivating aromatics of juicy red, blue, and black fruits, graphite, spring flowers, and an ultra-classic lead pencil character. Hitting 14% natural alcohol with a pH of 3.5, it’s concentrated and full-bodied on the palate, with incredible purity and a more restrained, elegant style than previous vintages. It has plenty of classic Valandraud greatness.

Jeb Dunnuck
A new take on Valandraud this year after Jean-Luc Thunevin sold his majority stake to Christophe et Marie Lefévère (Château Sansonnet, Château Moulin du Cadet, Château Villemaurine. With Grégory Leymarie now managing director he said this is the perfect vintage to tell a new story with a new vision and a reduction in production by 20-25%. Gorgeous heady scents on the nose, ripe blackcurrant, cherries and strawberries. Chalky, velvety, ripe but not overly so, you have that intensity and concentration of fruit – but there’s such finesse. Elegance is here in spades, this is soft and approachable already. A juicy, clean and crystalline core with a soft salty, oyster shell mineral bite. I love this for its calmness, roundness and general softness. You still have the signature fruit aspect – the spiced aromatics and the clean blackcurrant, plum and black cherry fruit – the signature of the estate is still recognisable but with a lot more delicacy. Ageing 100% new oak. 3.48pH, 4g total acidity. Drink 2032-2048.

The 2025 Durfort-Vivens offers a striking mix of textural intensity and finesse. Crushed flowers, mint, lavender, sage, tobacco and incense add tons of inner sweetness and perfume. Dark red/purplish fruit emerges with time. This really opens beautifully with a bit of time in the glass, showing commendable textural presence and tons of class to match. The blend is 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot. All it needs is time to open texturally. That should come with bottle age. Drink 2035-2065.

A complex and complete wine already, with berry, cherry, orange peel, terra cotta and dried mushroom aromas. Medium-bodied with a pretty core of fruit and crunchy tannins. Savory finish. A blend of 91% cabernet sauvignon and 9% merlot, From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.

James Suckling
Rich blackcurrant aromatics, almost sweet and cool at the same time – smells so welcoming with some cola and flint touches too. The florality though is incredible, so aromatic. Svelte and long, this is focused with a clean, really sapid expression and gorgeous juiciness – almost with a sweetness that just makes you smile before focusing and straightening with a crushed stone aspect on the finish. More red fruits than black like Ferriere. Great construction with such gentle tannins, really quite flawless with a clear cola and flint aspect. A yield of 25hl/ha. Ageing 18 months, 45% new barrels, 40% foudres and 15% in amphoras. Drink 2035-2048.

The 2025 Villemaurine is impressively deep and polished, even if there is some reduction. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, grilled herbs and lavender convey tons of textural intensity and sheer power. A reduction in new oak and the introduction of casks for both vinification and élevage are some of the recent developments here. Tasted two times. Drink 2033-2050.

Sporting a dense purple hue, the 2025 Château Villemaurine reveals exotic red and blue fruits, chalky, liquid rock-like minerality, and graphite, with floral and liquid violet nuances. Coming from a brilliant terroir on the upper plateau, it's based on 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon that's still resting in 50% new barriques, 20% one-year-old barriques, and 30% foudre. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a concentrated, focused mouthfeel, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. Harvest ran from September 10th through the 28th, and this hit 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.49. Tasted four times with consistent notes.

Supple and fleshy, ripe but not overly chewy, just enough to give this quite a plump and rounded expression. Lovely cooling blueberry scents - half ripe half fresh with fine, crisp tannins. Really well integrated and an enjoyable expression. Friendly, fun, powerful and out to please. Yummy with wet stone, slate and iron elements on the finish. Great stuff. Drink 2029-2043.

Situated in close proximity to the Tatiarra vineyard and grown on the same Cambrian soil derived from rocks formed 500 million years ago, this was always a wine that was going to need a few years in the bottle to blossom. Heathcote Cabernet tends to be more masculine than Cabernets grown in other parts of Australia, with an acid structure that is reminiscent of top Yarra Valley Cabernets from a warm year.

The Thomson Family Shiraz is produced from Henry Best’s original 1867 Shiraz plantings, and is only produced in exceptional years with yields typically at less than two tonnes per acre.
Tasted late 1998: Opaque, deep crimson, with mauve edges. Superb aromas. Spice, vanilla, liquorice, ripe plum, violets and blackberry - intense and refined. The palate meets all expectations. Mouthfilling - with that degree of concentration, only found in old vines fruit. Flavours of spice, plum, blackberry and vanilla fill the palate and continue to encase every possible corner. Exceptional length and depth of flavour. The balance is perfect and the tannins firmer than in previous years - fine, dry and well supported by the volumes of fruit. Very long aftertaste of spice, vanilla and just a trace of black peppers.

Dingle Inaugural 10 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey (700ml)

ABV: 46.5%

A significant milestone, this marks one of Dingle's first widely available age statements. Matured in a marriage of bourbon (65%), port (30%), and Pedro Ximénez (5%) sherry casks, it was ranked Best in Class at the Irish Whiskey Masters in 2025. Bottled at 46.5% ABV without chill filtration.
Other reviews... that delicious Dingle foundation is right there - amplified with even more fruit sweetness and spice. The most mature release to date brings enough added complexity and depth to have me reaching for more. I was excited when I saw the social media announcements around this. The price was brilliant in comparison to far too many other Irish whiskey bottles out there. They’re not immaculate - I’m aware of a single cask 10 year old offering that Dingle released a short while back, but that one was for the collectors, less so the drinkers. Fair enough I suppose. But this new 10-year-old, intended for everyone, met my expectations and then some. As a fan of their core range Single Malt, I was super keen to see how decade old liquid would compare. The fruity, doughy, bready Dingle character was there throughout and its testament to the quality and love the team have for their product. - dramface.com
Notes from the producers... NOSE: Rich waves of dark fruits and stewed plums. TASTE: Lusciously layered with gingernut biscuit and decadent Black Forest gateau . FINISH: Smooth butterscotch, delicate orange blossom and evolving fruity spices.

The Thomson Family Shiraz is produced from Henry Best’s original 1867 Shiraz plantings, and is only produced in exceptional years with yields typically at less than two tonnes per acre.
Tasting Note (Tasted Late 1996): The colour is dense crimson. The nose is not about to yield its array of aromas in a youthful rush. You have to wait a while and quietly the aromas emerge. Ripe plums, blackberry, confectionary with subtle notes of cedar and liquorice - black pepper aromas are absent. The palate slowly rolls out its flavours building up to an unexpected crescendo of totally encompassing black pepper. Plum, liquorice all sorts, confectionary and spice all form forward palate flavours, but the blackpeppers sneak up in a similar way in that mountain pepper berries sneak up on the palate. The harmony is perfect - the tannins are silky smooth, the aftertaste lingering long in the palate like a repetitive chord from Vivaldi - it just stays and stays. This is a sublime shiraz - Unique, an experience not to be forgone. It is the living expression of an age that drove the 20th century and gave it its momentum. Only 350 cases were produced - We need say no more!

The 1995 Cullen Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot is one of the all time greats rated a full 5 out of 5 by Vanya Cullen. Since 1974 the only vintages to receive such an accolade were 1984, 1991 Reserve and 1994 Reserve. From the 1995 vintage there will be no further reserves - all efforts are being placed to make an extraordinary Cabernet Merlot. Vanya Cullen writes "The 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon is a great wine, which undoubtedly matches the standards set by the Reserve wines of previous vintages."The dry weather conditions extended into spring and summer resulting in crop levels being reduced to around two tonnes per acre. This low yield, coupled with full ripeness and a final alcohol reading of 13.5% has produced concentrated fruit flavours. The 1995 Cabernet Merlot is made up of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. The wine was matured in French oak for 17 months with 30% being new.

2025 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pre-Arrival Offer

Pauillac, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$999. 00
Bottle
$11988.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Often seen as the most elegant of the First Growth wines, Chateau Lafite Rothschild has long been considered one of the greatest wines from not only Bordeaux, but from anywhere in the world. Prices too reflect its status as the most collectable wine in Bordeaux, spurred on since 2008 when it ruled the Chinese fine wine market. While the vineyards are planted to 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, each year the proportions vary according to the vintage, normally with Cabernet Sauvignon accounting for 80-90% of the blend.
Other Reviews...
A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2025 Lafite Rothschild unwinds in the glass with a deep and brooding bouquet of dark berries, violets, rose petals and pencil lead. Medium- to full-bodied, supple and layered, with suave tannins, good concentration and bright acidity, it checks in at 12.5% alcohol and an unusually low (by the standards of recent warm vintages at Lafite) pH of 3.65. Harvest began here on September 2, with the estate's old-vine Merlot beginning on September 3 and the first Cabernet Sauvignon coming in from September 11 (earlier than in 2022), and the harvest wrapped up on September 20.

William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Lafite-Rothschild was cropped at 27 hl/ha between September 2 and 20. Eric Kohler mentioned that, unlike 2022, it underwent a longer maceration than usual because, after 24 days, he felt the wine was at ease with itself and there was no excess. That comes through completely on the deliriously intoxicating nose, replete with nuanced blackberry, bilberry and estuarine scents, all beautifully defined and seamlessly integrated with the 90% new oak that is made from Lafite’s own cooper. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiselled tannins. It is blessed with extraordinary harmony and it is so well balanced that you almost overlook the weight and minéralité towards the finish. Just a dab of graphite lingers on the aftertaste. This is a very succinct and refined Lafite-Rothschild that I suspect will drink earlier than the 2022, yet will age with equal grace in bottle. I admit that, upon returning to my car, it was only then that I realised what a brilliant wine the 2025 Lafite-Rothschild is destined to become. Drink 2032-2070.

Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2025 Lafite-Rothschild is powerful and explosive in the glass. Dark cherry/plum fruit, graphite, new leather, graphite, licorice and lavender race across the palate. A Pauillac of mid-weight structure, the 2025 impresses with its tension and deep, layered personality. Even in the early going, the Grand Vin is so vivid, so expressive. I can't wait to taste it in finished form. Drink 2035-20275.

Intense aromas of sweet tobacco, dark cedar, cigar humidor, mushroom, roses, and wet earth follow through to a medium to full body with firm, velvety tannins and a driven, intense finish. Very structured with bones. Reminds me of Lafite from the 1980s. Unique for the vintage. 12.5% alcohol. A blend of 94% cabernet sauvignon, 5% merlot and 1% petit verdot.

Checking in as 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot that's resting in 90% new French oak, the 2025 Château Lafite Rothschild sports a classic, deep ruby hue as well as a complex and classic nose of cassis, spicy wood, tobacco, violets, and graphite. It's quintessential Lafite on the palate as well, with its class, medium to full body, ripe, building, yet polished tannins, and nicely integrated acidity. It checks in at 12.51% alcohol with a pH of 3.65. I love its overall balance, purity, and complexity, and I suspect it's going to continue gaining weight over the course of its élevage.

Jeb Dunnuck
Vivid purple colour in the glass. Cool blue fruit, graphite and wet stones on the nose. Succulent and juicy, ripe and lifted, with supple tannins barely noticeable – the focus is on the purity and refinement of the fruit with bright acidity and an undercurrent of cooling, fresh minty freshness with graphite and wet stones. You really get the spice and fruitiness. A bit more lively, energetic and upfront than Lafite can sometimes be. There’s finesse for sure but there’s also confidence here. Mouthwatering with a ton of flavour and layering but at the end such a finessed and refined finish with a wet stone grip. So balanced and harmonious. An amazing feat this year. Eric Kohler, technical director of Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), calls 2025 a: ‘Vintage of happiness – a symphony of all the perfect parameters' and likened the vintage to '2020 but perhaps more delicate and less tannic. More immediate than 2020'. A yield of 27hl/ha. 16% press wine. Drink 2035-2060.

Cuban cigars, cedar, crème de cassis, blackberries, flowers, espresso, and forest leaves set the wine's perfume. Refined, elegant, precise, and pure, the fruit tastes as if it were just pulled from the vines. Expressive, vibrant, long, and packed with blackberries, currants, Indian spices, tobacco, and marine influences, the seamless, graceful finish does not want to quit, passing the 60-second mark with ease. One of the most important parts of the growing season took place starting in June and running through July 10. Climatically, it was hot and dry. The midsummer rains following that dry period provided much-needed nourishment, aiding ripeness and contributing to the style and success of the vintage. The wine is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot. 12.5% ABV. Picking took place September 2 - September 20. Yields were low at 27 hectoliters per hectare. 48% of the harvest was placed into the Grand Vin. Drink from 2032 - 2075.

The 2025 Carruades de Lafite has quite an understated bouquet that needs a little more encouragement than usual. Blackberry, pencil box and light estuarine scents gradually unfurl. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied, with sapid black fruit on the entry, gentle grip, wonderful balance and plenty of freshness and brightness on the finish. What a superb Carruades. Drink 2030-2050.
92-94 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2025 Carruades de Lafite is a total stunner. It's a great example of how Bordeaux has come along in the last few decades, in that it could have easily been a Grand Vin from another generation—maybe not from a great year, but from many years. Brisk acids and strong floral overtones immediately convey energy. Hints of lavender, rose petal, graphite and spice box are classic Lafite; all the Carruades lacks vis-à-vis its sibling is the classic Lafite mid-palate. This should blossom beautifully with time, and I would be in no rush to open it. What a delight. Drink 2033-2050.

A tight and linear red with red currant, sweet tobacco and cedar aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, fine and creamy tannins. Bright finish. Extremely fine texture for the second wine of Lafite. Typical character of Carruades. A blend of 55% cabernet sauvignon, 34% merlot, 9% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot.

James Suckling
An incredibly elegant second wine (which is classic Lafite), the 2025 Carruades De Lafite has cassis, raspberries, crushed violets, graphite, and spicy wood on the nose. Based on 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a very pure, focused mouthfeel, polished tannins, and flawless balance. It checks in at 12.69% alcohol with a pH of 3.62.

Jeb Dunnuck
Upfront and instantly so welcoming and friendly and fun, bright, lively, full on acidity kicks off the expression – so lifted with the focus on the pure fruit. Salty undercurrent that gives such an incredible contrast to the ripe strawberry fruit. But this is also lacking no richness – it’s got muscles, power, concentration and such capacity to age. Fabulous. 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Drink 2032-2045.

Licorice, black currants, flowers, blackberries, plums, cocoa and leafy tobacco nuances create the perfume. The palate is even better with its vivid display of fresh, juicy, crisp, red, with black fruits paired with a fine line of tannins down the middle giving you grace, character, and refined freshness. The elegant palate is fresh, lively, clean, and pure, so you taste, and feel the power, as well as the vitality of the vintage. One of the most important points in the growing season were that from early June, to July 10, climatically it was hot and dry. The mid-summer rains following those dates provided much needed nourishment, along with the rains that fell July 22 became a good part of the success of the vintage. The wine is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc. 12.5% ABV. Picking took place September 2 - September 20. Yields were low at 27 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2029-2050.

2025 Chateau Leoville Barton Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Julien, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$170. 00
Bottle
$2040.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Once part of a much larger vineyard that included Chateau Leoville Las Cases and Chateau Leoville Poyferre, Second Growth producer Chateau Leoville Barton now spans 47 hectares and is owned by the same family as Chateau Langoa Barton. In fact, there is no Chateau on the property, and the image on the label is actually that of Langoa Barton where the wines are made. Wines from this property are traditional and sturdy in style, and the best vintages can require decades to reach their peak. Vineyards are planted to 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc.
Other Reviews...
Another wine that will appeal to purists, the 2025 Léoville Barton offers up notes of crème de cassis, violets, pencils shavings and new oak, followed by a medium- to full-bodied, taut and penetrating palate that's racy and youthfully structured, with a concentrated mid-palate that reflects the very low yields (22 hectoliters per hectare) this year. It's a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, harvested between September 4 and 18.
93-95 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Léoville Barton was picked between 4 September and 18 September and matured in 60% new oak barrels. This has an exquisite bouquet already, with ebullient blackberry and bilberry scents, beautifully integrated oak, keeping the DNA of Léoville Barton despite the warm summer. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, gentle grip, very pure fruit and a "cool" and focused finish. With lower alcohol, between 13.0 and 13.5%, the terroir really shows through here. Superb. Drink 2034-2055.
95-97 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2025 Léoville Barton is one of my early favorites of the vintage. It carries all the textural intensity and richness of a vintage with paltry yields. As such, it is not an especially classic Léoville Barton, but it is undeniably gorgeous. Black fruit, gravel, chocolate, new leather and licorice add to an impression of gravitas. As always, there's a healthy amount of press wine in the blend. Readers will have to be patient with the 2025, but there's a lot of potential. Tasted two times. Drink 2035-2065.
94-96 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Dark ripe fruit and a touch of licorice on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with a firm tannic structure on the palate, showing dark fruit, chocolate and walnut flavors.86% cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot and 2% cabernet franc.

Jacobo García Andrade - JamesSuckling.com
A Cabernet-dominant blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2025 Château Léoville Barton checks in at 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.6. Crème de cassis, smoked tobacco, liquid violets, iron, and an incredible sense of graphite all define the aromatics of this brilliant, deep, pure, and layered beauty. On the palate, it's full-bodied, inward, and powerfully structured, and reminds me slightly of the 2010 with its deep, concentrated style. It has enormous potential.
97-99 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Beautiful aromas, expressive and open, really fragrant with bright purple flowers and dark cherries. Supple and so energetic, you can feel some tension here with the tension coming from the really quite high acidity matching the soft fleshiness of the dark blackcurrant and raspberry fruit. I love the character, this has personality and focus. Quite a fun and really engaging wine with great balance and plenty of structure and outer bones that should soften and maybe thicken a little over ageing. I’m sure this will be a beauty. Crushed stone minerality on the finish. One of the lowest yields ever at 22hl/ha. Drink 2026-2050.

Cropped at a mere 20 hectoliters per hectare, one of the lowest yields ever recorded at this address, the 2025 Langoa Barton offers up aromas of dark berries, pencil shavings, spices and new oak. Medium- to full-bodied, with bright acids and chalky tannins, it's a blend of 45% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc.
92-94 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Langoa-Barton was picked between September 4 and 18 and matured in 60% new oak barrels. It has a lively bouquet with the Merlot in full effect, blueberry and cassis scents, and just a background touch of peppermint. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a lovely caressing texture, very well balanced with a touch of pepperiness towards the persistent finish. What a gorgeous Langoa! Drink 2030-2065.

Focused, with volume and drive, it shows aromas of berries, warm spices and some leather. Medium- to full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Structured and compact, with bright fruit at its core. Long, focused finish. 45%merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon and 15% cabernet franc. 3.2 pH.

James Suckling
The 2025 Château Langoa Barton is based on 45% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Cabernet Franc, checking in at 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.55. Darker currants, smoky tobacco, graphite, and tons of violet and floral nuances all shine on the nose, and it has remarkable purity, full-bodied richness, a broad, layered mouthfeel, and ripe, polished tannins on the palate. The finish is a blockbuster. It's probably the greatest Langoa ever.
95-97 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Liquorice and blackcurrant aromas on the nose, smells quite dark and heady and seductive. Almost a sweet, sticky liquorice aspect with some wet stone salinity. Supple and filling with a really wide and ample expression, firm not overly fleshy tannins with a dark vanilla, cedar, tobacco and blackcurrant edge. I like the serious, quite firm concentration here – it still has acidity to lift but this is focused and really quite determined. An impressive Langoa this year with some wood spice on the finish. Really a cool, classic, fresh, hands-off kind of style. This will be great. A yield of 20hl/ha. Drink 2031-2050.

The 2025 Canon La Gaffelière is bright and beautifully focused right out of the gate. Orange peel, sage, mint, pipe tobacco, dried flowers and mocha soar out of the glass. Floral aromatics and brisk saline notes are the signatures in a tightly wound Canon La Gaffelière that is going to need a number of years to be at its most expressive. I especially admire the energy here. Drink 2033-2055.
94-96 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
A deep and layered young red with blackberry, black olive and white pepper character with a full body and savory fruit. White pepper and other spices. Depth with elegance. Extremely well crafted. A blend of 45% cabernet franc, 40% merlot and 15% cabernet sauvignon.
96-97 points
James Suckling
A lighter, more herbal-styled wine based on 40% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2025 Château Canon-La-Gaffelière offers juicy red fruits, sappy flowers, graphite, tobacco, and a kiss of minerality on the nose. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, with fine, polished tannins and a good finish. It's a more Cabernet-dominated effort from this château, and while I'd love to see a touch more generosity here, it's beautifully balanced, and I suspect it will gain volume over the course of its élevage.
92-94 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Beautiful aromatics, floral notes and Chinese five spice with some sweet red berry fruit. Juicy and lifted, a really lovely calm, chiselled and soft frame with velvety tannins and ripe but cool fruit. Acidity is not too tight and this has a generous but controlled element. Balanced and poised but maybe missing a touch more density of fruit. Lovely layering of texture and aromatic complexity. Drink 2030-2048.

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Clos de l'Oratoire is a gorgeous, mid-weight Saint-Émilion. Strong floral and savory inflections open first. Initially deceptive, the 2025 has plenty of power lying in reserve. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, with the Franc very much front and center in the wine's aromatics, saline-infused contours and overall structural feel. This is impeccably done. Drink 2033-2045.

A young red with a lot of depth and layers already with blackberries, blueberries, spice, and white selection. Velvety tannins and a light chewy finish. Medium to full body. Rich wine for the vintage. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc.
95-96 points
James Suckling
A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% of an unspecified variety, the 2025 Clos De L'Oratoire is another fresher, mineral-laced Saint-Emilion. Red and black fruits, graphite, crushed stone, and tons of violet notes all shine on the nose, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a focused, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a good finish.
91-93 points
Jeb Dunnuck
The profile leans toward a more high-toned expression, with bright acidity shaping the wine. There is a fresh, cool blue fruit character, accompanied by subtle hints of crushed mint. At this stage, the aromatics feel a touch reserved, but suggest further complexity to come with time in barrel (aging in 20% new oak). Drink 2028-2036.

Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Château D'Aiguilhe is based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc from very old vines and aging in 20% new oak. It has a classic limestone-driven profile in its red and black fruits, sappy flowers, and chalky minerality. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, with a pure, balanced, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and good acidity.
91-93 points
Jeb Dunnuck
A fresh and engaging showing: a wet-stone note on the nose alongside bright red cherry fruit gives an immediate sense of lift. The palate packs plenty of juice, underpinned by lively acidity (pH 3.35) that keeps everything energetic, if not quite as seamlessly balanced as the best examples in this vintage that marry ripeness and freshness more completely. Still, a well-crafted wine with good vibrancy and charm - and more convincing than some peers in this price range, and an enjoyable expression overall.

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Les Cruzelles is another stellar wine in this range from sisters Noëmie and Constance Durantou. There's a bit more clay in this section of the vineyard, which comes through in the wine's broad textures and darker fruit profile vis-à-vis La Chenade. Black cherry, lavender, cloves, menthol and licorice add to an impression of somber gravitas. This will need time in the cellar, as the tannins are formidable. Drink 2030-2043.

Jacobo García Andrade - JamesSuckling.com
Compared to the La Chenade, the 2025 Château Les Cruzelles is often more structured and serious in style. It's another Pomerol look-alike that brings ample structure, medium-bodied richness, a nicely focused mouthfeel, and beautiful aromatics of ripe blue fruits, spring flowers, violets, and chocolate on the nose. It's another brilliant wine in the lineup from this family estate.

Quite a dark, heady fragrance full of purple flowers and herbal touches with creamy blue fruit. Juicy and lively with a really mouthwatering but smooth and silky texture. This just brings a smile to your face - not overly complex but clean and pure, so harmonious in terms of fruit, acidity and tannins with a fine structure giving lots of enjoyment.

Red and blue fruits intermixed with graphite, violets, and lead pencil-like nuances all define the 2025 Château Montlandrie, a wonderfully pure, medium-bodied Castillon from hillside parcels and more clay-rich soils. Harvested between September 9th and 20th, it has ripe, polished, yet building tannins, terrific overall balance, and a deep purple hue that hints at its concentration and depth.
92-94 points

Supple and fleshy with a chewy and bright aspect. Lots of fun on offer here with plenty of personality — ripe yet also freshly picked, just shy of tart strawberries, cranberries and red cherries. Clean and mineral on the finish with a wet stone element that lingers. Friendly, clean, focused yet still with intensity of fruit and push. A fine showing — zippy and alive, very balanced and refreshing. A yield of 38hl/ha. Ageing 60% new oak. Drink 2027-2040.

The 2025 Labégorce was picked between September 4 and 30 and matured in 30% new oak. It has a refined bouquet with pure blackberry, raspberry and cedar scents, the oak supremely well integrated. There is a delicacy about the aromatics that I like and I suspect that they will gain intensity during élevage. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins, albeit slightly firmer when retasted at the château, a keen line of acidity, quite vibrant and very harmonious, a subtle crescendo towards the sapid, verging upon briny finish whilst keeping Margaux's elegant style. Excellent. Drink 2032-2055.

Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2025 Labégorce exudes power and depth right out of the gate. Dark cherry/plum fruit, licorice, new leather, plum and chocolate hit the palate first, followed by swaths of tannin that shape the mid-palate and finish. This is a particularly fine Labégorce. I especially admire its energy. Drink 2030-2045.

A charming, supple wine, the 2025 Château Labégorce is based on 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot that's being raised in 30% new French oak.

On the palate, it's round and textured, with supple tannins and outstanding length.

Gorgeous fragrance, so floral and expressive, really very Margaux – some dark chocolate and liquorice. Smooth and sappy with something really friendly and charming about this, bright and supple, not too high acidity, really refined with a delicate purity to the fruit on the mid-palate – blueberries and cherries – with a salty, grippy undercurrent. Ageing will round this out with more integration but there’s a lot of joy to be had. Good balance and long! 4% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Ageing 35% new oak. Drink 2029-2039.

2025 Petit Village Pre-Arrival Offer

Pomerol, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$230. 00
Bottle
$2760.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Petit-Village comes from the widest part of the "triangle" of vineyards and is matured in 45% new oak for 16 months, including 20% in demi-muids. It is a little reticent at first, opening with a mixture of blackberry and raspberry fruit, hints of pencil-box and light orange-rind scents. It takes a few swirls of the glass to get going, but it is nicely defined. The palate is well balanced, with pliant and supple tannins, fine acidity, quite linear in style and maybe just missing the precision of the very top Pomerols on the finish. But I appreciate this style of Petit-Village—less rustic and more precise than vintages a decade ago, perhaps starting to fully articulate its terroir. One to watch. Drink 2031-2052.

Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2025 Petit-Village is hugely promising. The two Cabernets are especially prominent in this year’s blend. Strong savory overtones, graphite, new leather, licorice, dried herbs and chocolate convey serious intensity. There's plenty of the 2025 vintage's concentration, but also enough fruit to balance things out. I am looking forward to seeing how this develops with élevage. Drink 2033-2050.

A firm and silky second wine of Petit-Village with a medium body, silky and lightly chewy tannins and a bright finish. 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon.
93-94 points
James Suckling
An ultra-classic Pomerol, the 2025 Château Petit-Village comes from gravelly clay soils and is based on 60% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. Ripe black cherries, graphite, chocolaty herbs, and spice all define the aromatics, and on the palate, it's medium to full-bodied and balanced, with ripe tannins and clean, perfectly integrated acidity. Another beautiful effort from this château that merits serious attention today.
94-96+ points
Jeb Dunnuck
Dark heady aromatics, really floral and black fruited with a softly spiced edge. Juicy, creamy, round, filling and fresh. This has a subtle charm from the off, not shouting – it’s a little subdued overall but I do like the texture. A touch grippy with nice structure, soft acidity and pure blue fruit. A little shy and toasted right now with liquorice and cola giving some tightness but it's long with some acidity underneath. A wine to wait for – grippy, stony, textured and gravelly. Record Cabernet percentage in the blend. Average vine age 53-54 years. 3.65pH. A yield of 16hl/ha. Drink 2033-2044.

The 2025 Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) is superb. Crème de cassis, graphite, licorice, cloves, lavender and inky dark fruit saturate the palate. Cabernet Sauvignon speaks with striking intensity from start to finish. This full-bodied, explosive Saint-Julien delivers the goods, big time. Tasted two times. Drink 2033-2045.
93-95 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Exuberant dark fruit. This is structured, with a touch of cedar and polished, fine-grained tannins that are so sophisticated and run the length of the wine. Classy. 78% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot.
96-97 points
James Suckling
Cassis, violets, and graphite all define the 2025 Château Saint-Pierre, with some spicy nuance that makes it just a stunning, gorgeously textured Saint-Julien. It's incredibly pure and medium to full-bodied on the palate, with ultra-fine tannins and no hard edges. A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot aging in 60% new French oak, it has so much to love and will absolutely be an outstanding wine.
94-96 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Really ripe and fragrant with some dried herbal accents. Lovely grip on the palate, filling tannins but really fresh and juicy giving a cool, minty, wet stone and blueberry aspect. Quite a crushed stone, chalky powdery texture, but it’s soft and not harsh at all. Has all the markings of a lovely wine and the tannins will soften over ageing. I like it. 4% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Drink 2034-2050.

A blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2025 d'Armailhac bursts with aromas of dark berries, violets and lilac. Medium- to full-bodied, with a sweet core of fruit, tangy acids and a youthfully chewy finish, this is a comparatively structured young d'Armailac.
91-93 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 d'Armailhac was picked between September 9 and 20 and matured in 50% new oak. This has fine definition and purity on the nose, though perhaps it does not quite grab you like some recent vintages. This plays it "cool". The palate is medium-bodied with fine, slightly grainy tannins that frame the blackberry and cassis fruit. Quite peppery on the finish, less flamboyant than some vintages, though very refined and quite long. Good potential. Maybe it has something up its sleeve? Drink 2030-2055.
91-93 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
Very polished, with fine tannins that caress your palate while the fruit is ripe but al dente, with red currants, plums and peach undertones. Medium body. Refined and intense finish. 67% cabernet sauvignon, 21%, 10% cabernet franc, and 2% petit verdot.
95-96 points
James Suckling
A classic, beautifully layered Pauillac that most likely ranks with some of the top vintages of this château, the 2025 Château D'Armailhac offers up loads of cassis, black raspberries, graphite, and spicy tobacco nuances on the nose. Based on 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot that will spend 18 months in 50% new French oak, it's full-bodied on the palate, with ripe, polished tannins, outstanding length, and a fresh, focused style that's hard to resist. It checks in at 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.7. I love its overall balance, and it should have a broad drinking window.
93-95 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Aromatic intensity, wild flowers, some chocolate and blackcurrant notes. Red cherries. Grippy and filling but soft, chalky and saline, a gorgeous weight on the palate with ripe bramble berries, cool blue fruit and lots of cola, liquorice and wet stones. Very transparent and hands off. A touch straight but lovely muscular edge without the heft. Juicy, fun, clean, pure. Balanced. Savoury. Great job controlling the extraction – tannins are there but this is sapid too. A little more serious and structured and perhaps overall elegant than Clerc. A 2% dash of Petit Verdot completes the blend. Drink 2032-2050.

The 2025 Clerc Milon has turned out beautifully, offering up notes of dark berries, petals and orange zest, framed by a deft touch of new oak. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, with lively acids and a chalky finish, it's a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and the rest Carmenère and Petit Verdot.
93-95 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Clerc Milon was picked from September 3 to 19 and matured in 55% new oak. The oak shows a little more than the d'Armailhac at the moment, though that will be subsumed with time. I suspect it will need longer bottle age to fully integrate. The palate is very rounded and supple on the entry, a mixture of red and black fruit, a little white pepper and tobacco, gaining more weight towards the finish with a sustained aftertaste. I feel this might have the edge over the d'Armailhac this vintage—let's see. Drink 2032-2050.
92-94 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2025 Clerc Milon is powerful and explosive in the glass. A rush of dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, mocha, new leather and a kiss of new oak makes a strong first impression. Supple and quite potent, with tons of energy, the Clerc Milon is impeccable in 2025. Drink 2033-2045.
92-94 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
A juicy and structured Clerc that is very typical with a firmness and brightness. It's medium-bodied with a solid center palate and a linear and racy finish. Just a hint of flint in the end. Vivid and pretty. A blend of 62% cabernet sauvignon, 28% merlot, 8% cabernet franc, 1% carmenere and 1% petit verdot.
94-95 points
James Suckling
A balanced, graceful Pauillac, the 2025 Château Clerc Milon is based on 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Carménère and Petit Verdot, still resting in barrel. Cassis and black cherries, graphite, and a crushed stone-like minerality all define the nose. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied with a pretty, pure, almost understated profile that builds nicely with time in the glass. It's a beautiful Pauillac in the making, and I'd certainly be happy with bottles in the cellar.
92-94 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Raspberries and red cherries on the nose with some rose petal aromas. Juicy and alive, great energy and brightness straight away, so generous, plump, a little darker on the palate with some dark chocolate, liquorice, blackcurrant and hints of cedar and bitterness. But equally the acidity is pronounced giving this real lift. Energetic with a mineral edged acidity. Dynamic and vibrant, great tannic frame, lively and so compelling. 1% Carmenere and 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Drink 2033-2050.

Unwinding in the glass with notes of dark berries, cassis, plums mingled with hints of violet and pencil shavings, the 2025 Gruaud Larose is medium- to full-bodied, supple and suave, with a deep core of fruit, lovely energy and ripe, powdery tannins. Checking in at 13.5% alcohol, this blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc will bear a special gold label to commemorate the estate's 300th anniversary.
94-96 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Gruaud Larose is rich, ample and exotic right out of the gate. Dark-toned fruit, graphite, licorice, mocha and lavender are all dialed up. The 2025 has a lot to offer, but will need a number of years to be at its finest. There's a lot of wine here. Even with all its intensity, the tannins show no signs of stress. All the 2025 needs is a lot of time in the cellar to shed its considerable baby fat. Drink 2040-2075.
95-97 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Crème de cassis and black raspberry fruits intermixed with spring flowers, graphite, tobacco leaf, and spicy wood all emerge from the 2025 Château Gruaud Larose, a deep purple-hued Saint-Julien based on 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc that's resting in 80% new French oak. This beauty stopped me in my tracks with its sheer class and purity. Full-bodied on the palate, it has a layered, graceful mouthfeel, gorgeous tannins, and a great finish, all grounded by a remarkable sense of balance and elegance. It checks in at 13.47% alcohol with a pH of 3.71. This is a heavenly Saint-Julien that brings the richness of the vintage alongside an unmistakable sense of class. Bravo!
97-99 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Such scented notes on the nose, more like a sultry summer’s evening with jasmine, lavender, violets, peonies and deep, heady blackcurrants alongside tobacco, liquorice and clove. Supple and so wonderfully textured – grippy but finely placed with an almost crushed stone aspect but this really holds the juiciness such a long time – strawberry and raspberry, crunchy cranberry, with a persistence and energetic finish. What a wine. Silky, almost a delicate touch here where there’s such precision yet still at the same time there’s concentration and intensity. 11% press wine (all from Cabernet). 3.71pH. A yield of 26hl/ha. 50% grand vin production. Drink 2034-2050.

The 2025 Prieuré-Lichine reveals a vibrant bouquet of dark wild berries, mulberries, cassis and floral notes. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and dense, it’s structured and concentrated, built around a solid tannic chassis that carries through to a long, elegantly spicy finish. Less immediately charming and enveloping than usual, it instead emphasizes depth and power.
91-93 points
Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Prieuré-Lichine is terrific. I won't be surprised if it turns out even better than this note suggests. Floral overtones weave through a core of dark red/purplish fruit, all framed by silky tannins. This is classic Prieuré-Lichine, with perhaps a bit more fruit density than most years. A pretty appealing combination in my book. Drink 2030-2045.

Well composed, textural and velvety, with currants, herbs and baking spices on the nose. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Refined texture with substance and harmony. Focused, lingering finish. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 35% merlot and 5% petit verdot.

Cassis, liquid violets, graphite, and spicy wood all shine on the nose of the 2025 Château Prieuré-Lichine, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a concentrated, nicely balanced mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It plays in the focused, seemingly fresher style of the vintage yet shows the riper side of Margaux while still being beautifully balanced and textured.
93-95 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Super fragrant and aromatic with purple flowers and ripe bramble fruit on the nose – so inviting. Plush, ripe fruit with a crushed velvet texture to the tannins that fills the mouth giving width and weight. Yet the acidity keeps things moving in a direct line from start to finish. Nice construction with everything in the right place. Tannins need to calm but this is friendly, charming and plump – and very cool also. More blue fruit than black. Cola, liquorice and oyster shell. Ageing 18 months, 30% new barrels, 70% one year. Drink 2030-2045.

A serious, sexy wine that readers should seek out in just about every vintage, the 2025 Château Fontenil offers blacker fruits, roasted herbs, chocolate, and spicy nuances on the nose. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's focused and balanced, with fine tannins, wonderful purity, and a great finish. Based on 100% Merlot that's being raised in 30% new French oak with the balance in amphora, due to tiny yields this vintage, the grapes that would normally go into the Delfi cuvée have been folded into this classic château release. This smoking good Fronsac will shine right out of the gate yet should have 20 years or more of prime drinking.

Expressive, floral and fragrant with plenty of ripe black berry fruit. Supple and full of life and texture. Filling and chewy but also cool and lifted - an enjoyable combination of concentration but also finesse.

The 2025 Haut-Bages Libéral is a powerful, tightly wound wine. Bright acids and beams of tannin are front and center. In this tasting, it is driven and also very shut down. The saline-drenched finish reverberates with tension. Intense red-toned fruit, chalk, mint, white pepper and blood orange fill out the layers. Drink 2035-2065.
93-96 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
The 2025 Haut-Bages Libéral was picked at 32 hl/ha between September 8 and 18 and matured in 35% new oak with 30% in concrete ovoid tanks. What distinguishes this property is that half the vines lie on limestone soils, which is unusual in Pauillac. This has clearly the most beguiling aromatics among the three wines that I tasted with Claire Villars-Lurton, with pure black cherries, cassis and violet scents that burst from the glass. Wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, a silver thread of acidity and, crucially, that tingle from the limestone soils that defines the finish. What a superb and distinctive Pauillac this is. Drink 2031-2055.

Neal Martin - Vinous
Bright and vivid on the nose and palate, with blackberries, black currants, raspberries and violets. It's medium-bodied with firm and racy tannins and a salty undertone in the finish, Such real energy. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.

James Suckling
One of the best Haut-Bages Libérals I've tasted from barreel. Perfumed blackcurrants, quite dark and true to form with a gorgeous perfume. Aromatics are great. Juicy and crisp, sleek and svelte, definitely quite streamlined but with such soft, velvety tannins that give grip but support the vibrant fruit so well. I love this. Really very classic, muscular but gentle with purity and focus. Hard to explain but this is great, maybe quite light and not layered enough, but there’s such complex flavours and aromas. And the acidity is excellent. A very friendly wine that will be easy to approach. Half gravelly soil, half limestone with 50% chalk on Cabernet – really rare for a cru classé. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 3.56pH. A yield of 32hl/ha. Drink 2033-2050.

The 2025 Fleur Cardinale is the best cuvée from the Decoster family this vintage. Very well defined on the nose, a mélange of red and black fruit, violet and iodine, there is a purity of fruit that is quite sensual. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite intense and a little more peppery than the Croix Cardinale, with gentle grip and a lingering finish. Give it three or four years and you will have a fine Saint-Émilion. Drink 2031-2050.

The 2025 Fleur Cardinale offers an intriguing mix of intense, dark-red-toned fruit and cooling savory/mineral undertones.

Tasted two times. Drink 2030-2045.

Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Château Fleur Cardinale has a remarkably pure, polished, and elegant style. Black raspberries, cassis, currants, tobacco, and graphite all shine on the nose, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a concentrated mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. Based on 77% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon that's being raised in a mix of new and once-used demi-muids and barriques, foudres, and amphora, it checks in at 13.8% alcohol and is a beautiful, elegant, mineral-laced Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé.

Gorgeous fragrant and coo blueberry elements on the nose. Juicy and sleek, this has such crystalline purity to it - really focused and fresh with bite and tang. Tannins are fine and give slight edges to the palate accentuating it’s streamlined aspects but the acidity and freshness last all the way through to a long finish. Great stuff here, so finessed and polished and moreishly juicy. Yield of 40hl/ha. Drink 2029-2043.

Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 61.5%

If you love The Gospel's fabulous entry-level whiskies, you can now take your enjoyment to the next level with a Nick's Single Cask Selection. Of six barrels tasted, a four year old from a heavy toast, #2 char, new American oak cask jumped out for its richness and poise, without burying the natural character of the grain. At 61.5% ABV, the whisky arrives quite composed. Over-proof weight delivers a broader profile that includes aromas of brown sugar and old tawny port, along with flavours of cocoa, summer pudding and buzzing rye spice followed by a long, warming vanillin-oak finish. First and foremost, we'd recommend appreciating this straight before experimenting with dilution. It’s a big rye that’s also going to work in a Manhattan, with power in reserve to hold up to sweet vermouth and bitters, or boost almost any rye cocktail. For a simple food pairing, try it with Roquefort on toasted rye, where salt and funk cut through the richness, or with a square of fine dark chocolate.
Direct from a fanatical producer and one of the best in the business, this 'honey cask' delivers everything you’d want in a high-strength 100% rye. Don't miss out!

2025 Le Grand Village Rouge Pre-Arrival Offer

Vin de France, FRANCE
$52. 99
Bottle
$635.88 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Given they are under the same ownership of the Guinaudeau family, Chateau Grand Village is often referred to as Chateau Lafleur’s second vineyard. The estate has been owned by the Guinaudeau’s relatives for hundreds of years, however it was not until the year 2000 that they began to produce wine themselves from the property. Situated on the edge of the Fronsac region and classified as Bordeaux Superieur, the vineyard is planted to 79% Merlot and 21% Bouchets (Cabernet Franc). The terroir is similar to Saint Emilion with its mix of calcisol going down a foot or so to a bedrock mostly made up of asteria limestone. At Grand Village, they practice many of the same techniques employed at Lafleur, including pruning and de-budding adapted to each vine plant, crop thinning in summer and de-leafing. The grapes are picked by hand, followed by very careful sorting and selection. Grand Village also produces a white wine from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc (85%) and Semillon (15%), from a 5 acre plot.

The 2025 Vin de France from Grand Village reveals a bright, expressive bouquet of dark berries with a hint of raspberry. Medium- to full-bodied, it’s precise and seamless, defined by more pronounced, limestone-inflected acidity than in recent vintages. The texture remains juicy and fleshy yet more tightly contained, lending the wine a firmer sense of structure, and the wine concludes with a fresh and gently ethereal finish. It points to a subtle stylistic shift toward greater tension and clarity. It's a blend of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc.

The 2025 Grand Village was picked September 4 to 18. It has a tightly wound bouquet with cranberry and blackcurrant scents, well defined with a touch of iodine. The palate is medium-bodied with a grainy entry, very well balanced, a tang of cracked black pepper leading to a very cohesive finish. This is a superb Grand Village that should give up to a decade of drinking pleasure. Drink 2029-2039.

A pure, focused wine from this remarkable team, the 2025 Le Grand Village is based on 74% Merlot and 26% Bouchet. Ripe cherries, framboise, chalky minerality, and floral nuances all define the nose, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a pretty, seamless mouthfeel, good acidity, and outstanding length. Smart readers will buy a case of this for drinking over the coming 20-25 years or more.

I so often think of this as one of Bordeaux's best value wines and it's brilliant in 2025. Pure and pristine floral aromatics, really expressive, so open and friendly with verging on tart crisp and crunchy yet really pure strawberry fruit plus softly chewy ripe tannins and a lick of wet stone salinity. Still a bit tense and streamlined with a bite to the acidity that drives the wine and gives energy and push — cherry, cranberry and raspberry fruit. Razor sharp with liquorice and iron tang at the end. Quite a powerful, intense style with the tannins mostly masked by the mouthwatering acidity. Serious and pleasurable. 3.5pH. A yield of 35hl/ha. Now designated as a Vin de France as are all the other wines in the range. Drink 2027-2037.

2025 Les Perrieres (Lafleur) Pre-Arrival Offer

Vin de France, FRANCE
$205. 00
Bottle
$2460.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Vin de France Les Perrières is superb, revealing a fresh, gourmand bouquet of red berries that becomes more floral with aeration. Medium- to full-bodied, it’s tense, straight and crystalline, defined by pronounced limestone-driven acidity, concluding with a pure, precise and perfumed finish. It differs from Grand Village in its more immediate structural expression, with the chalky imprint evident throughout the palate. This is a blend of 56% Merlot (harvested September 5) and 44% Cabernet Franc (September 15).
93-95 points
Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Les Perrières was picked between September 5 and 15. This has a vivid nose with blackberry, raspberry, crushed stone and light rose petal scents. Fine delineation and you can really feel that limestone terroir. The palate is beautifully balanced, with almost a touch of orange rind underneath the layer of red berry fruit. Fine poise, with a touch of white pepper, moderate length and fine precision on the finish. Excellent. Drink 2031-2048.

Gorgeous fruit, blueberry and salt aromas with such intensity and brightness. Medium-bodied, lively and vivid. Tangy and bright, with a hint of limestone. 56% merlot and 44% cabernet franc.

James Suckling
A blend of 56% Merlot and 44% Bouchet (Cabernet Franc), the 2025 Les Perrières has a pure limestone-inflected nose of framboise, crushed stone, violets, blue fruits, and a salty minerality. On the palate, it's gorgeously textured and medium-bodied, with a juicy salinity that makes you salivate, beautiful balance, and a great finish. It's a complex, layered, elegant, yet silky beauty.

Smells ripe and fleshy with strawberry and cherry aspects, fragrant and a touch herbal also. Tangy from the get-go with pure red berry juiciness, a crystalline aspect and such grippy stony tannins. Lots of energy matched to really quite salty saline aspects. Starts off quite wide then narrows and focuses towards a long finish. Elegant but still super alive and given that lift by pronounced acidity. Ends long. Just a touch severe still for me with a citrus lemon juice aspect and a lot of tension although it gives the wine a real backbone. 3.4pH. Now designated as a Vin de France as are all the other wines in the Lafleur range. Drink 2028-2040.

2025 Lafleur Pre-Arrival Offer

Vin de France, FRANCE
$2497. 00
Bottle
$29964.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Lafleur is generous and expressive, bursting with aromas of sweet cherries and raspberries mingled with notions of licorice, anise and violets. Full-bodied, dense and muscular, with a fleshy attack that segues into an ample, layered core of primary fruit, it's built around plenty of sweet, powdery tannin. This is a large-scaled Lafleur endowed with everything in abundance.
96-98 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Lafleur was picked early, from August 26 to 28 and from September 10 to 12 for the Cabernet Franc. Of course, this is the first year when the wine is classified as Vin de France after water was added to the soil, contravening Pomerol's AC rules. Discussing at length with Baptiste Guinaudeau, whilst I can see that it would essentially resuscitate the parched vine, the amounts are too little to affect the wine when considering the actual rainfall figures. For sure, it has a bashful bouquet at first and demands time to really open in the glass, 10 to 15 minutes. Only then does it reveal enticing scents of blackcurrant, bilberry, crushed stone and iris flower, all beautifully defined and very succinct—quintessential Lafleur. The palate is medium-bodied and framed by chiselled tannins that lend this Pomerol beguiling symmetry. What really marks this Lafleur is its tremendous persistence on the finish. It just goes on and on. This is a great Lafleur, irrespective of what it took to get there. Drink 2034-2060.

A cool and perfectly integrated wine with a vivid and poised nature, superb focus and precision. It’s so perfumed and dense yet weightless and polished. Endless finish. 51% cabernet franc and 49% merlot.

James Suckling
A powerful, inward, yet incredibly discrete and classy wine, the 2025 Château Lafleur reveals black raspberries, framboise, graphite, crushed stone, and floral notes on the nose. Based on 49% Merlot and 51% Bouchet, it's full-bodied on the palate, with a deep, rich, layered mouthfeel, remarkable length, and tons of polished tannins. It's an absolute dream of a wine, and I have no doubt this will check in with the top handful of wines in the vintage.

A quietly compelling wine from Lafleur this year. Creamy blue fruit aromas on the nose, quite open and friendly with some purple floral aspects and ripe but cool fruit, milk chocolate and some dried herbs. Soft and bouncy with both immediate grip and energy and intensity. Round and filling but delicately so - nothing overdone, there’s flesh and tannin presence but a certain lifted aspect where nothing is heavy. Lots of layers, fully textured but lattice-like. Still quite a dark style despite a juicy core with liquorice, flint, smoke, cedar and clove all in harmony. Really very cool and fresh, nothing hot or sunny about this wine. Serious, knitted, dark and finely tuned with good construction and grip while giving the impression that it’s not too muscular. Bravo. A yield of 35hl/ha. Now designated as a Vin de France as are all the other wines in the Lafleur range. Drink 2034-2050.

Truffles, flowers, cocoa, black cherries, smoke, and chocolate mint begin to define the nose. The wine coats your palate, covering your mouth, teeth, and gums with layers of pure, sweet, energetic fruit, marine influences, dark cocoa, and a touch of herbs. Long, intense, rich, and polished, this is one of the more sensuous offerings from Lafleur. It is a wine that can age for decades, yet if you prefer your Lafleur on the fruity side, it will be charming to enjoy in its youth. Some of the main keys to the vintage were managing the flowering and working with the tiny berries, which averaged 160 per bunch, with thick skins yielding small amounts of juice, ranging from 1 gram to .7 grams per berry, which provided concentration and flavor. The wine blends 51% Cabernet Franc, and 49% Merlot. 14% ABV. 3.75 pH. Harvesting took place for the Merlot September 20-21, and for the Cabernet Franc, September 30. Yields were 35 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2030-2075.
