Wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet cassis, wild berries and plums mingled with notions of violet and burning embers, it's full-bodied, ample and velvety, with a degree of structural polish and sensuality that is rare in the Médoc, ripe acids and a long, penetrating finish. Over the last handful of years, technical director Mathieu Bessonnet and his team have revitalized Pontet-Canet's vineyards with well-timed soil work and precise phytosanitary treatments; and since 2023, the careful use of \"pieds de cuve\" in the winery, along with early blending, more refined barrel choices and cooler temperatures in the chai—plus more precise bottling practices—have conspired to take this estate to new heights of quality and consistency. In 2025, the team formed lower-than-usual \"ponts\" (whereby the canopies of adjacent vines are braided together in an arch) to retain denser foliage to protect the fruiting zone from sunshine, and they waited to pick late in pursuit of full maturity in Cabernet Sauvignon, finishing on September 23.

While cloud cover protected the vines from frost, it also created an early risk of mildew, now a recurring challenge. The mild winter and spring rain led to early, uniform budburst, with half of the vineyard reaching this stage by April 7 as temperatures neared 25 °C. On April 27, the weather changed dramatically. Temperatures remained warm, but little or no rain meant exceptionally dry conditions. Over the following four months, the vineyard saw only 96 mm of rainfall, and the estate’s vines progressed quickly from one phenological stage to the next. Flowering took place under ideal conditions: the first blossoms appeared on May 16, with mid-flowering seen throughout the estate by May 28, as temperatures exceeded 30 °C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"has-inline-images my-2 first:mt-0 [\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])+\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;:has(table)_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;_h1:first-of-type]:mt-8 [\u0026amp;_h2:first-of-type]:mt-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose dark:prose-invert inline leading-relaxed break-words min-w-0 [word-break:break-word] prose-strong:font-bold [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:first-child]:mt-0 [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:last-child]:mb-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-renderer=\"lm\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"vintage-and-style\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\"\u003eVintage and style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"has-inline-images my-2 first:mt-0 [\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])+\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;:has(table)_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;_h1:first-of-type]:mt-8 [\u0026amp;_h2:first-of-type]:mt-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose dark:prose-invert inline leading-relaxed break-words min-w-0 [word-break:break-word] prose-strong:font-bold [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:first-child]:mt-0 [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:last-child]:mb-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-renderer=\"lm\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe 2025 growing season in Bordeaux was early, hot and generally dry, producing small, concentrated berries with high ripeness yet surprisingly fresh acidity and very healthy fruit.

However, the palate is the main event. The mouthfeel perfectly balances its hedonistic tendencies with a touch of reticence, in a good way. There is length, volume, intensity, opulence, and lift. The seamless finish provides silk and velvet tannins, allowing the depth and purity of the fruit to stand out in the extensive, vibrant finish. The key to the vintage was the combination of a dry summer, which lowered yields, and the much-needed August rains, which brought about full maturity. 46 of 47 parcels were placed into the blend. It is important to note that no second wine was produced. Even more importantly, very little Cheval was produced. Yields were a scant 15 hectoliters per hectare, making this the lowest yields in the history of the estate. The wine is made from 51% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. 12.7% ABV, 3.6 pH. The harvest began September 18 for the Merlot, finishing their Cabernet Franc on October 3.

A wine of mystery and seduction, the 2025 dazzles. Time in the glass brings out the wine's tension and energy. Sage, mint, lavender, cloves and cool, blue-toned fruit all build in the glass. In one tasting, Cheval Blanc was massively tannic; in a second tasting, those tannins were much more seamless, highlighting how differently wines can show from day to day. In the case of Cheval Blanc, en primeur samples are mini-bottlings, and both samples I tasted came from the same batch. Yields in 2025 were just 15 hectoliters per hectare, tiny by any measure.

The lowest ever yield at 15hl\/ha yield, close to 1961 in terms of volume. There were tiny berries, barely scraping 1g even for the Merlots, even after dropping 10-50% of the grapes even on young vines to minimise water stress. Visually beautiful, deep plum colour, intense, slate, graphite, this has a construction that is clear, muscle, sinew, carved tannins, going long on campfire, chamomile, bitter chocolate, incense, anis, cassis, mint leaf, eucalyptus, crushed rocks, savoury broth. This forces you to project forward - if we are lucky enough to be pulling a bottle out of a cellar in 2060, this Cheval will still be powering along. The honest truth is that I can't tell you with 100% certainly how long it will take to get to its full drinking window. I have not seen a young Cheval with this kind of construction, and I am erring on the side of caution in this note, hoping that it will be more readable in bottle.

Lively acids and lifted floral overtones brighten the long, resonant finish. The 2025 spent 23-24 days on skins, a bit shorter than most years. Élevage takes place in 40% French oak barrels, 40% 500-liter barrels and 20% 25-hectoliter foudre. Wines from clay-based soils tend to be raised in barrique to soften them, while wines from limestonerich soils are naturally more delicate and typically aged in larger-format wood. Larcis was one of the first properties in Bordeaux to introduce large-format wood, a choice that works so well for this site and these wines. This is a stellar effort from Technical Director David Suire, who has been at the helm since 2022.\" \u003cstrong\u003e- Antonio Galloni (95-97\/100)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Right at the top of the vintage here, full of character and depth, clear intensity and acidity, has the sword-like limestone touch of the vintage but so well shaped and handled.

The palate is even better, with a vivid display of sweet, energetic, lingering fruits, licorice, oceanic influences, dark chocolate, and Indian spices. There is richness, density, lift, and length. Balanced and harmonious, this wine will offer an extraordinary tasting experience. Give it a few years in the bottle before pulling a cork.

The vintage profile in 2025 across Bordeaux is defined by balance, moderate alcohol, intense color and pronounced freshness, giving this wine a more classical, structured and ageworthy character than many recent solar years. In this context, Cos 2025 is being described as one of the finest wines the estate has produced in the last decade, uniting density, aromatic complexity and an almost effortless harmony.\u003cspan

The 2025 vintage here is marked by a very low pH (just over 3), giving the wine a striking line of acidity that supports ripe fruit and a chiselled, almost architectural structure. In the glass, it feels racy, distinguished and sculpted, with Sauvignon Blanc-driven lift and Sémillon-driven depth, placing it firmly among the most serious dry whites of Bordeaux in this vintage.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"has-inline-images my-2 first:mt-0 [\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])+\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;:has(table)_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;_h1:first-of-type]:mt-8 [\u0026amp;_h2:first-of-type]:mt-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose dark:prose-invert inline leading-relaxed break-words min-w-0 [word-break:break-word] [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:first-child]:mt-0 [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:last-child]:mb-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-renderer=\"lm\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"technical-tasting-note\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\"\u003eTechnical Tasting Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"has-inline-images my-2 first:mt-0 [\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])+\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;:has(table)_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;_h1:first-of-type]:mt-8 [\u0026amp;_h2:first-of-type]:mt-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose dark:prose-invert inline leading-relaxed break-words min-w-0 [word-break:break-word] [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:first-child]:mt-0 [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:last-child]:mb-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-renderer=\"lm\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc pl-8\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLight greenish-yellow with silver reflections and a bright, youthful sheen.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" aria-label=\"Chateau Cos d'Estournel Blanc, Bordeaux, France -

There is concentration and power, but everything is so refined that it is not something you notice. The finish starts off slowly, building into a crescendo of perfectly ripe fruits.

Picking the Merlot al dente was another key factor. Lastly, being patient for the Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve full, phenolic ripeness sealed the deal.

Pichon Comtesse 2025 comes from 73 hectares under vine, with an average vine age of around 35 years, and continues the château’s modern era under the Rouzaud family (Louis Roederer) and winemaker Nicolas Glumineau, where precision, finesse and terroir transparency are paramount. In the 2025 vintage, the château itself emphasizes concentration of the juices, ripe, velvety tannins and the full aromatic expression of “great Pichon Comtesse,” positioning this release among the potential 100‑point wines of the year.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" data-pplx-citation=\"\"

13% of the blend coming from press wine for extra depth and structure. Harvest began exceptionally early, on 28 August, and ran to late September, reflecting the warm, dry season yet with excellent preservation of acidity and aromatic freshness. The wine is aged for about 18 months in French oak, 60–66% of which is new, striking a balance between polish, complexity and clear expression of fruit and terroir.

Containing an average 85% Se´millon and 14% Sauvignon Blanc with a dash of Muscadelle, this voluptuous wine is rich and concentrated with a wonderfully long finish. Previously known as Cha^teau Laville Haut-Brion, Cha^teau La Mission Haut-Brion is a wine for the initiated. It is unique: when young, it has the characteristics of a great Gewurztraminer. Over time, it takes on the amber colour of a great Sauternes wine. This dry white wine expresses all the attributes of a Graves sweet wine, specific to the Se´millon grown on these famous terroirs. Beginning with the 2009 vintage, the familiar Cha^teau Laville Haut-Brion label will no longer be used, to be replaced by one bearing the name Cha^teau La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc, accentuated in gold as Fre´de´ric Woltner had done when creating its very first label in 1927.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic tasting note: (2025 vintage)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Honeysuckle, lemon grass, white peaches, green apples, and pineapples explode from the glass.

These proportions are not reflected identically in the wine, because the blend varies according to the character of each vintage. However, Cabernet Sauvignon always predominates: it is Cabernet Sauvignon that gives Mouton its rich tannins, its wealth of aroma and flavour and its ageing capacity, while Merlot, an inseparable companion, brings suppleness, roundness and exceptional length. As with other top Médoc wines, the vineyard is densely planted – 10,000 vines per hectare – and the average age of the vines is around 44 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eCritic tasting notes: (2025 vintage)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“A serious Aile d'Argent with sliced green mangoes, pears and green apples.

The fruit unfolds with amplitude, supported by a persistent tension that stretches the finish and prolongs its brightness. The plateau frames, the wine falls into line.

The first nose reveals a beautiful freshness of ripe fruit: red berries (cherry, raspberry), black fruit (wild blackberry), and a hint of blackcurrant. With aeration, the wine unveils its tremendous aromatic potential, combining these fresh fruit notes with more delicate aromas of flowers (peony), sweet spices (fennel seed, star anise, fenugreek, mountain hay…), before revealing a darker dimension of graphite, pencil lead, and warm earth, bringing remarkable complexity. The palate opens with a surprisingly fresh attack, supported by a beautifully soft and caressing texture. The mid-palate is all finesse and delicacy at first, before expanding with restrained power and a superb structural framework. It is focused, full-bodied, dense, with impressive length and outstanding harmony. A perfectly balanced wine, marked by great precision, vibrant freshness, and remarkable energy. On the palate, one finds again the complexity revealed on the nose, with crunchy fruit, very delicate floral notes, and spices that beautifully enhance the finish.

At Smith Haut Lafitte, the soil consists of one of the rare thick, ochre-colored Gunzian gravel ridges, characterized by its high iron oxide content.

The vintage was shaped in large part by daily tastings of the berries in each parcel, and even single rows of vines, seeking the best moment to pick. Another factor was which tanks to use for fermentations as well as what parcels went into specific tanks due to the vintages low yields.

Although its tannic concentration may be exceptional, it’s rare to detect astringency. The great vintages are distinguished by their formidable ability to move us. The lesser vintages give pleasure to wise enthusiasts. They offer the advantage of evolving very rapidly and, reveal, after a few years, instead of power, this subtlety that is the prerogative of great terroirs.
