2025 Chateau Villemaurine Pre-Arrival Offer

Other Reviews...
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.

A very fine red with dark berry and tar character and a hint of sea salt. It’s medium-bodied, firm and silky. Chewy and crunchy at the end. Plenty of potential. 80% merlot, 15% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon.

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.
