The 2025 vintage in Saint-Émilion
Vintage benchmark: 94/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: A dry summer and cool nights gave balanced merlots, pure and without excess ripeness.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Saint-Émilion. An estate can depart from it sharply, in frost or hail years, where two neighbours did not make the same vintage. What this particular wine actually gave is on its technical sheet and in the scores above.
Tasting
Intense, bright purple in colour. The nose unfolds with luscious red berry fruits and remarkable aromatic purity. The palate is smooth and enveloping, carried by silky tannins and vibrant energy. The finish is chiselled, with a gentle sweet and saline character.
