Impressive but distinctly serious, this is a structured Pensées that will reward patience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/96\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Kelley, Wine Advocate, April 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 Les Pensées was picked from 28 August until 12 September. It has slightly darker fruit, a light marine influence, touches of oyster shell infusing the redcurrant and cranberry fruit. Quite open. The palate is very finely balanced, poised and minerally, with wonderful vivacity and poise, and real sapidity towards the finish that lingers in the mouth. This is an outstanding Les Pensées. Drink 2030-2050.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/96\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeal Martin, vinous.com, May 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA linear wine with very fine tannins that remind me of the great Les Pensees of the 1990s.
