“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.”

“High pumice stone grip, certainly very much on the limestone character, attractive and with plenty of lift and grip, and an underlying and highly attractive drama from grilled sandalwood and incense oak notes. A more subdued Canon la Gaffelière at this early stage, will widen and deepen over ageing. Yield 35 hl/ha. 30% new oak for ageing."

“A density to this, yet it remains balanced and complex, with well-integrated tannins and a juicy finish. It seems to be a wine with lots of fruit, but then it diffuses and shows open-grained, velvety tannins. Intense yet subtle blackberries, lead pencil and hazelnuts. Some flint. Persistent and reserved at the end. Great potential. A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 39% merlot and 1% petit verdot.”

“ich aromatics of salted caramel, vanilla, orange and white chocolate on the nose –it smells incredible. Pure straight away, this is rich and luscious for sure but the energy, focus and freshness really carries the profile –the sugar is totally covered by a cool creamy lemon aspect with touches of vanilla and pineapple. You get the texture, depth and concentration of a warm vintage but the fruit and acidity of a cool one. Surprising. This is exceptional but understated –light, almost delicate in a way, yet nuanced with some bitterness, cedar and clove spice. 100% Semillon from 55-year-old vines. 158g/l residual sugar. 4.04pH. A yield of 13hl/ha. Technical director, Pierre Montégut said the vintage is: 'Like 2023 for sugar, the same as 2009 and 2010' and that the team will start with a high percentage of new oak and slowly decrease over time so on average around 50% new, 50% one wine."

“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.”

Harvest September 3 to 19. 55% new oak for ageing. Estate signature. 3.78ph.”
