"A fresh, complex and deep nose of spiced blue fruit, waxberries, blue flowers, minerals, licorice and graphite. Full-bodied and really fine-grained, with tight, chalky tannins and a long, structured finish. Very juicy and complete, with excellent fruit definition and an al dente texture.

“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."

“Crushed citrus, mint, crushed stone, and white flower nuances all define the aromatics of the 2025 Château Suduiraut Vieilles Vignes, which is a blend of 66% Sémillon and 34% Sauvignon Blanc that's resting in 14% new barrels with the balance in once-used oak. It's medium-bodied on the palate, with a pure, focused mouthfeel, beautiful purity, flawless balance, and an incredibly seamless style. This has 13.7% alcohol with a pH of 3.39."

“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."

"The 2024 Troplong Mondot is a total stunner. As has been the case for some years now, the Grand Vin is blended before being barreled down, which means at the time of tasting en primeur, the wine has seen less wood than the vast majority of its peers. That lends this wine a certain raw energy that is impossible to miss. The purity and intensity of the flavors are simply remarkable. Troplong Mondot is one of the standouts of 2024. Even in this vintage, Troplong Mondot possesses remarkable textural presence, but that richness is matched by notable freshness and linear drive. It was deeply impressive on the two occasions I tasted it. Élevage is planned to be 55% in new oak, 26% in 20HL barrels and 19% in once-used barrels."

""Supple and sop juicy and friendly, this has a lovely ripe strawberry and cooling raspberry elements with both fresh mint and a dollop of sweetness. Cool overall with a driving persistence of flavour – energetic but so precise and well defined with fine tannins and a crisp overall sensation. Ripe, round, a little cooler and more mineral than in hotter vintages, but this is definitely charming and easy to like. 3.71pH. Ageing 18 months, 30% new, 70% one and two years.”"

“The 2025 Echo de Lynch-Bages is a pretty serious second wine that is going to need a number of years to soften. Quite frankly, I don't think I have ever tasted an Echo with this much power and overall structure. Dark-fleshed fruit, gravel, incense, licorice and scorched earth convey gravitas. There's a lot of wine here, but patience is required.”
