Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of dark berries and cherries mingled with notions of blood orange and iris, it's full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with terrific mid-palate density, sweet tannins and a long, vibrant, violet-inflected finish. With its striking aromas, intensity of flavor and resolutely classical proportions (checking in at 12.7% alcohol and pH of 3.76), the 2025 gives every indication of being one of the great Cheval Blancs of the decade.”\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pre-Sale","offers":[{"title":"Arriving late summer of 2028","offer_id":48170524836081,"sku":"20260305","price":2267.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0498\/0209\/files\/20260305.jpg?v=1778711308"},{"product_id":"pre-sale-chateau-lafite-rothschild-2025-case-of-3","title":"[Pre-Sale] Château Lafite Rothschild 2025 (Case of 3)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlend: Cabernet Sauvignon (94%), Merlot (5%), Petit Verdot (1%)\u003cbr\u003e\nDrinking Window: 2032 - 2075\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e98-99 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous.com\u003cbr\u003e\n“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 minéralitétowards 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.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pre-Sale","offers":[{"title":"Arriving late summer of 2028","offer_id":48210419024113,"sku":"20260328","price":2200.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0498\/0209\/files\/20260328.jpg?v=1779471744"},{"product_id":"pre-sale-chateau-angelus-2025-case-of-3","title":"[Pre-Sale] Château Angelus 2025 (Case of 3)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlend: Merlot (50%), Cabernet Franc (50%)\u003cbr\u003e\nDrinking Window: 2035 - 2065\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e95-97 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous.com\u003cbr\u003e\n“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.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pre-Sale","offers":[{"title":"Arriving late summer of 2028","offer_id":48210420138225,"sku":"20260330","price":1497.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0498\/0209\/files\/20260330.jpg?v=1779471743"},{"product_id":"pre-sale-chateau-mouton-rothschild-2025-case-of-3","title":"[Pre-Sale] Château Mouton Rothschild 2025 (Case of 3)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlend: Cabernet Sauvignon (93%), Merlot (7%)\u003cbr\u003e\nDrinking Window: 2036-2070\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e99-100 Points – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com\u003cbr\u003e\n“A breathtaking Mouton Rothschild that embodies the grandeur and power of Pauillac.
