The 2025 vintage in Margaux
Vintage benchmark: 94/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: A dry, bright summer, tempered by cool nights, gave pure, balanced wines, more classic than sun-drenched.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Margaux. 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
The wines reveal a deep color, dazzling aromatic complexity, precise fruit and remarkable freshness, supported by silky tannins. Combining density and elegance, the 2025 vintage asserts a classic and racy Bordeaux profile, with a graceful power, unexpected in view of a resolutely luminous year.

- 25 hl/haYield
Winemaking
Gentle vinification by infusion. Maceration duration of 20 to 30 days determined by daily tastings.
Ageing
Malolactic fermentations in barrels. Aged 60% in new barrels.
Terroir
The fragmented layout of the property offers an interesting diversity of soils, with three main types of terroir: clay-limestone and clay-gravel soils suited to Merlot, clay-gravel and gravel soils for Cabernet Sauvignon, and gravel for Petit Verdot. A soil survey has been carried out parcel by parcel. At once firm and unctuous, this is a wine of great character and great ageing potential, born to span decades. The generous proportion of Merlot in the blend also makes it very enjoyable in its early years.
