James Suckling: So much energy in this wine, with freshness, vivid cherry and raspberry character, fine tannins and bright acidity. Medium-bodied. How a 2025 should be. 70% merlot, 25% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: The 2025 Ferran Blanc delivers zippy notes of fresh grapefruit and lime blossoms, leading to hints of lemon balm, elderflower, and wet slate. The light- to medium-bodied palate is crisp and intense with citrus- and mineral-laced flavors, finishing long and zesty. The blend is 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon. The alcohol is 13%."

Decanter: Vibrant purple pink colour on the rim of the glass. Beautifully pure blackcurrant and red cherry aromas, ripe and expressive with some wild bramble fruit, cola and liquorice. Silky smooth, such refined tannins, softly chewy but not overly so, just giving a round and grippy mouthfeel. Clearly they didn't extract too much, this has life and focus with concentration but such delicacy too. Yet still there’s power - such a long, liquorice and mint finish. Spiced but in line. I really like this, a great job. Packing plenty of structure and tannins but with a real kick and lift. One of the best here. Harvest 2-19 September. 3.38pH. A yield of 32hl/ha. Ageing 12-14 months, 30% new oak."

Weinwisser: 66 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 24 % Merlot, 6 % Petit Verdot, 4 % Cabernet Franc, pH 3.80, Alkohol 12.70 vol%. Unheimlich tiefgründiges Bouquet, verführerisches Veilchen- und Irisparfüm, schwarzer Johannisbeernektar, Lavendel, Lakritze. Am komplexen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, vibrierender Rasse und perfekt geformten Körper. Im konzentrierten, aromatischen, sehr langen Finale Heidelbeeren, Graphit und feinmehlige Adstringenz."

Jeb Dunnuck: A Merlot-heavy blend of 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc that will spend 15 months in 65% new French oak, the 2025 Château Feytit Clinet is just brilliant, with a full-bodied, deep, and layered profile packed with blue and black fruits, chocolate, and tobacco. On the palate, it's concentrated and powerful yet stays weightless and flawlessly balanced, with velvety tannins and a great finish. Hitting 14% alcohol, this is up with the crème de la crème of the Right Bank, as well as Bordeaux in general."

Chateau Figeac ist seit bereits mehr als 120 Jahren im Besitz der Familie Manoncourt. Figeac zählt seit vielen Jahrzehnten zu den prestigeträchtigsten Gütern in Bordeaux, was vor allem am außergewöhnlichen Terroir liegt. Die 40 Hektar Weinberge von Chateau Figeac verteilen sich auf drei steinige und kiesbasierte Erhebungen, der Rebsortenspiegel besteht zu 35% aus Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet F

Zu Chateau Figeac Lobgesänge anzustimmen kommt dem Spruch „Eulen nach Athen Tragen“ gleich. Denn was hier Jahr für Jahr die Keller verlässt, ist Referenzlevel! Drei Bewertungen bis 100 Punkte, der Rest nicht minder hoch, in 2025 hat das Team um Frederic Faye in Zusammenarbeit mit Thomas Duclos wiederum ganze Arbeit geleistet. Dieses Terroir ist nahezu nicht zu toppen. Wir waren zwei Mal vor Ort, einmal zu einem tollen Mittagessen eingeladen, und hatten konstant hohe Verkostungsnotizen. 25hl/ha stellten die Basis, in etwa je ein Drittel Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon und Cabernet Franc mit 9% Presswein gelangten in die Fäßer. Und das Ergebnis ist eine Cashmere-gleiche Textur, eine Mineralik wie von einem Schiefer-Riesling, eine Dichte, wie in Kalifornien und all das verwoben zu einem perfekten Ganzen. Warum? Frederic Faye meinte, es sei die skurrile Kombination aus heißen Tagen, kalten Nächten, Anzahl der Sonnenstunden und alten Reben, die auf grandiosem Terroir stehen. Kurz: 2025 Chateau Figeac ist ein Traumwein!

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: The pale gold-colored 2025 Filhot bursts with fragrant notes of juicy peaches, passion fruit, and fresh ginger, plus hints of spice cake and chamomile. The palate is rich and viscous with a crisp backbone to offset the opulent fruit and a long, spicy finish."

James Suckling: A medium-bodied red with blackberry, cedar and terra cotta character and plenty of subtle fruit and sophistication. Shows excellent potential."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Fombrauge bursts from the glass with bold notes of wild blueberries and fresh plums, giving way to hints of candied violets, camphor, and anise. Full-bodied, the palate delivers a crisp line and plush tannins to frame the bold blue and black fruit layers, finishing with a compelling raspberry lift. The blend is 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. The alcohol is 14.5% and the pH is 3.5. This is being aged 75% in French oak barrels, one-third new, and 25% in a variety of other vessels-amphorae, concrete, and stainless steel."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Fonbadet soars from the glass with classic notes of cassis and ripe plums, followed by hints of violets, graphite, and tilled soil. The medium-bodied palate is filled with bright black berry flavors, supported by grainy tannins and a refreshing line, finishing on a minerally note. The blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. The alcohol is 13%."

James Suckling: An attractive red with aromas of sliced strawberries and cherries with a hint of herbs, perhaps from the carmenere. Medium-bodied with firm and silky tannins. Hints of minerals and crushed stones and a crisp finish. Nice bitter lemon undertone in the finish."

James Suckling: So gorgeous. Best ever from here. Medium body with round and caressing tannins and a long finish. Dark berries with hints of roses and other flowers. The texture is so beautiful. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc."

Jane Anson: Deeper in colour than the others in the range, reflecting the higher Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. Glass staining vivid plum, dark capsicum and red pepper spice, sage and rosemary, this is enjoyable with plenty of character, needs time to soften but great potential here. Harvest from September 1 to 19. Now out of Cru Bourgeois system. Tasted twice. 35hl/h yield."

Decanter: A classic Sauvignon-dominant blend with an appealing floral nose of acacia and honeysuckle. The wine reveals a noble spiciness on the palate, with a touch of bitterness well balanced by acidity. Creamy and poised, with the tropical and fruity notes that are not exaggerated, this Médoc blanc (the inaugurating vintage!) needs a little time to develop fully but is already balanced and shows good potential."

Vinum: Einmal mehr strahlt dieser Wein, klare Himbeerfrucht, auch Heidelbeeren, Cassis, Minze und eine faszinierende Floralität; saftiger, frischer Gaumen, ungemein präzis, konzentriert, dabei tänzerisch leicht, die Tannine sind stets präsent, jedoch nie störend, umgarnen die knackige Frucht; im Abgang von grosser Eleganz und mit langem, rotfruchtigen Finale. Einmal mehr hervorragend."

Jeb Dunnuck: A serious, sexy wine that readers should seek out in just about every vintage, the 2025 Château Fontenil offers blacker fruits, roasted herbs, chocolate, and spicy nuances on the nose. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's focused and balanced, with fine tannins, wonderful purity, and a great finish. Based on 100% Merlot that's being raised in 30% new French oak with the balance in amphora, due to tiny yields this vintage, the grapes that would normally go into the Delfi cuvée have been folded into this classic château release. This smoking good Fronsac will shine right out of the gate yet should have 20 years or more of prime drinking."

James Suckling: Fruity, creamy and well rounded, with a medium body and silky tannins. Mellow and easygoing."

Vinum: Dunkle Frucht, Rauch und florale Noten im Duft; gradliniger Gaumen, kernig, gut strukturiert, druckvoll, dabei elegant, mit saftiger Frucht und einem ausgewogenen Finish. Ein klassischer Listrac mit guten Reserven."

Jeb Dunnuck: A complex, graceful wine, the 2025 Château Franc Mayne is 100% Merlot aged in equal parts new barriques and foudres. A solid core of juicy red fruits, dried flowers, spice, and classic chalky minerality all emerge on the nose. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has ripe, supple tannins and outstanding length. I tasted this on three occasions, and it showed beautifully every time. It's a balanced, graceful Saint-Emilion in the making."
