Drinking Window: 2030 - 2065 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 98 - 100 RP Region: Pauillac ABV: 13.1 - 13.5%" A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot that weighs in at 13.3% alcohol, the 2025 Pontet-Canet is one of the finest wines this estate has produced. Wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet cassis, wild berries and plums mingled with notions of violet and burning embers, it's full-bodied, ample and velvety, with a degree of structural polish and sensuality that is rare in the Médoc, ripe acids and a long, penetrating finish. Over the last handful of years, technical director Mathieu Bessonnet and his team have revitalized Pontet-Canet's vineyards with well-timed soil work and precise phytosanitary treatments; and since 2023, the careful use of "pieds de cuve" in the winery, along with early blending, more refined barrel choices and cooler temperatures in the chai—plus more precise bottling practices—have conspired to take this estate to new heights of quality and consistency. In 2025, the team formed lower-than-usual "ponts" (whereby the canopies of adjacent vines are braided together in an arch) to retain denser foliage to protect the fruiting zone from sunshine, and they waited to pick late in pursuit of full maturity in Cabernet Sauvignon, finishing on September 23. The result is one of the wines of the vintage. - 60 on Order - William Kelley, Wine Advocate - Apr 30, 2026

On the nose, aromas of delicate cherry fruit, hints of nougat and orange zest. The palate is full-bodied, and elegant, with a core of delicate sweetness and fine acidity, very balanced and already easy to drink, silky style, with red berry notes, lively and subtle with a hint of spice on the saline finish, persistent, has ageing potential." – Falstaff - Tasted: May 2025

The palate is rich, full-bodied, long, fresh, and vibrant, with energetic notes of mint leaf, black cherries, cocoa, chalk, and a range of exotic spices that linger." - Jeff Leve, The wine Cellar Insider - Tasted Sept. 2026

Drinking Window: 2025 - 2035 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 95 Decanter Region: Willamette Valley - Oregon ABV: 13.5%"Deep and Shiny red. An explosive nose of strawberries and raspberries melted. A touch of pink pepper exalts aromas. The mouth is open to very fresh energy carried on by a discreet acidity. Silkiness is present, but in its youngest stage and a few years will help tannins already supple to express more richness. " - Winery Notes -

Drinking Window: 2024 - 2028 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 92 WE Region: Sancerre ABV: 12.5 - 13.5% This wine displays beautiful aromatic intensity, beginning with delicate floral notes of small white flowers and blackcurrants, followed by powerful mineral aromas of pebbles and gunpowder. The bouquet is elegant, complex, and expressive of the richness of this exceptional terroir. On the palate, the wine is round and supple, with a subtle tanginess. Intense aromatic flavors on a fleshy, mineral-driven structure enhance its complexity, leading to a long, harmonious finish with both exotic and citrus fruit notes. – Winery Notes

Drinking Window: 2027 - 2035 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 100 JD Region: Ribera del Duero ABV: 15.00% "Its truly a beautiful expression of variety, vintage, and site, reaching perfection. Impeccable, polished and magnificent wine with a lifespan of 18 years". Crafted from 100% tempranillo, dark fruit rules the roost in this well balanced wine. On the nose macerated plums, black cherries and blackberries intermingle with sweet spices, black pepper, cocoa, vanilla and tobacco leaf from the oak, with hints of cedar wood, earth and graphite also coming through. Intense and concentrated on the palate, it's a powerful, complex and multi-layered wine with high acid, sweet fine-grained tannins, and a long finish." – Jeb Dunnuck

Drinking Window: 2025 - 2037 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 96 JS Region: Givry ABV: 13 - 14.5% "This is all dried flowers and spices, making it a unique expression of the Cote Chalonnaise. Made for the ages, but relatively accessible already. Enormously concentrated, but still light on its feet. You really feel that this must have come from a very stony site; those wines can be austere, but this is not. Very limited production. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold." – James Suckling

Drinking Window: 2027 - 2038 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 96 JS Region: Puligny - Montrachet Les Pucells ABV: 13 - 13.5%"Very pure and precise, this has great elegance on the medium-bodied palate. Still tightly wound, but the intensity and refined chalky minerality in the tense, superlong finish are stunning. With aeration, a wonderfully subtle aroma of orange blossoms emerges. From a 0.25 hectare vineyard planted in the 1970's. From biodynamically grown grapes. Unfiltered and unfined. Drinkable now but best from 2026." – James Suckling

The succulent, rich and seductively textured middleweight flavors posses evident minerality and focused power while delivering even better depths and persistence on the lightly austere and beautifully balanced finale. this is lovely and a wine that should also age gracefully." – Winery Notes
