Eric Kohler mentioned that, unlike 2022, it underwent a longer maceration than usual because, after 24 days, he felt the wine was at ease with itself and there was no excess. That comes through completely on the deliriously intoxicating nose, replete with nuanced blackberry, bilberry and estuarine scents, all beautifully defined and seamlessly integrated with the 90% new oak that is made from Lafite’s own cooper. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiselled tannins. It is blessed with extraordinary harmony and it is so well balanced that you almost overlook the weight and minéralité towards the finish. Just a dab of graphite lingers on the aftertaste. This is a very succinct and refined Lafite-Rothschild that I suspect will drink earlier than the 2022, yet will age with equal grace in bottle. I admit that, upon returning to my car, it was only then that I realised what a brilliant wine the 2025 Lafite-Rothschild is destined to become.

Medium- to full-bodied, supple and layered, with suave tannins, good concentration and bright acidity, it checks in at 12.5% alcohol and an unusually low (by the standards of recent warm vintages at Lafite) pH of 3.65.

Silky and medium in body, the 2025 is a classic L'Évangile, which is shocking given the intense heat and drought of the year, along with yields of just 22 hectoliters per hectare in aggregate across the châteaux. Bright red-toned fruit, mocha and rose petal all grace the palate. Touches of blood orange and white pepper lift the brilliant finish. Élevage is 40% new oak, 40% foudre, 15% once-filled barrels and 5% amphora.

Full-bodied, suave and layered, with a deep and concentrated core of fruit, bright acids and supple tannins, it's already harmonious and complete, concluding with a long, penetrating finish.

Matured in 80% new oak and then racked into foudres the following June, it is quintessentially Palmer on the nose with those almost extravagant floral violet scents that blossom in the glass. Wonderful delineation and focus, touches of Indian ink and cassis emerge with time. The palate is very smooth and velvety on the entry, disguising the substance and weight of this wine. Impressive in terms of density, with a little more grip than the Alter Ego, it delivers just the right amount of spice that gives the finish another dimension.

That results in an unusually juicy Grand Vin. Even so, there's plenty of supporting structure. The blend is 55% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot. Black fruit, lavender, menthol, licorice, gravel and chocolate build into a driving, potent finish. There's a lot of gravitas and substance here. I am very much looking forward to tasting this as a finished wine; my impression today is that the 2025 is holding back quite a bit of its potential. 2035 - 2065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/98\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Galloni, vinous.com, April 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Palmer","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case 6x75cl","offer_id":57101938229621,"sku":null,"price":1158.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/files\/palmer_12ab41f6-99c0-4ece-bf08-ee1281380329.png?v=1710607237"},{"product_id":"chateau-leoville-las-cases-2025-st-julien","title":"Château Leoville Las Cases 2025, St Julien","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIN BOND\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery 2028\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppellation - St Julien\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOwner - Jean-Hubert Delon and Geneviève d'Alton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2024 is another strongly Cabernet vintage here ever with 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecond wines – Le Petit Lion, La Petite Marquise\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnnual production – 400,000 bottles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Leoville Las Cases","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case 6x75cl","offer_id":57101941899637,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/files\/chateau_leoville_las_cases_b3f47b42-0c46-4d4e-ad53-34dab45d686c.png?v=1710608897"},{"product_id":"chateau-meyney-2025-st-estephe","title":"Château Meyney 2025, St Estèphe","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIN BOND\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery 2028\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Meyney \/ SIch","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case 6x75cl","offer_id":57101944291701,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/files\/meyney_3123006a-ebd4-4666-bf44-b885f2523ea7.png?v=1710608447"},{"product_id":"chateau-pavie-2025-st-emilion","title":"Château Pavie 2025, St Emilion","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIN BOND\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery 2028\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppellation -

Discussing at length with Baptiste Guinaudeau, whilst I can see that it would essentially resuscitate the parched vine, the amounts are too little to affect the wine when considering the actual rainfall figures. For sure, it has a bashful bouquet at first and demands time to really open in the glass, 10 to 15 minutes. Only then does it reveal enticing scents of blackcurrant, bilberry, crushed stone and iris flower, all beautifully defined and very succinct—quintessential Lafleur. The palate is medium-bodied and framed by chiselled tannins that lend this Pomerol beguiling symmetry. What really marks this Lafleur is its tremendous persistence on the finish.
