2025 Chateau La Dauphine Pre-Arrival Offer

Other Reviews...
The 2025 La Dauphine is superb. Dark, ample and explosive, the 2025 races across the palate with inky fruit, tobacco, dried herbs, lavender and chocolate. This is a great La Dauphine. The Cabernet Franc is dialed up in this vintage, an approach that works so well. Clean saline notes frame the close. Tasted three times. Drink 2030-2040.

Medium- to full-bodied and cohesive, with contained, evenly distributed dark fruit and fine-grained tannins.

Deep ruby/plum-hued, the 2025 Château De La Dauphine comes from a great estate in Fronsac that's well worth seeking out. Based on 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc that will spend 12 months in a mix of oak, foudres, and amphorae, it has remarkable purity in its black raspberry, cassis, graphite, and chocolaty, floral, exotic aromatics. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a pure, graceful, layered mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. It checks in at 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.5, and plays in the focused, pure, precise style of the vintage. It's beautifully done and should be snatched up by savvy readers.

Aromatic purity on the nose, smells lively and welcoming. Clean, clear and supple, there’s an enjoyable bouncy element to the tannins and ripe fruit with cool acidity that means you get texture, flavour and brightness. Still quite calm, nothing over the top about this. Elegant and finessed as La Dauphine does so well. A very assured 2025 that will find fans.I love the chalky minerality on the finish. Drink 2028-2038.
