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. \u003cstrong\u003eThe result is one of the wines of the vintage.\u003c\/strong\u003e -William Kelley\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVM96-98 Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2025 Pontet-Canet is a wine of exquisite class.

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.

A mixture of brambly red fruit, briar, a touch of cassis and orange rind that is beautifully delineated. The palate is exquisite: very fine tannins, tangible minéralité, very cohesive and focused, with a very complex, peppery finish that goes on and on and on. Svelte, harmonious and tender, this ranks amongst the best vintages from Haut-Bailly in recent years. -Neal Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Haut-Bailly","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":47865624002711,"sku":"14149","price":93.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/4695\/0807\/files\/HautBaillyFutures.png?v=1780515855"},{"product_id":"2025-chateau-mouton-rothschild","title":"2025 Chateau Mouton Rothschild","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Advocate 97-99 Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e A blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot, the 2025 Mouton Rothschild is a dense, powerful wine, unwinding in the glass with aromas of crème de cassis, blueberries, espresso roast, cigar wrapper and violet. Full-bodied, deep and dense, it's rich, layered and concentrated, with prodigious mid-palate presence and a long, youthfully structured finish. Small berries in Cabernet Sauvignon, below one gram even in the older vines, explain this Mouton's remarkable intensity of flavor. The grand vin represents 52% of the production and checks in at 13.1% alcohol. -William Kelley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeb Dunnuck 97-99 Points: \u003c\/strong\u003eDeep purple-hued, the 2025 Château Mouton Rothschild is based on 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot that's resting in 100% new barrels. A blockbuster nose of crème de cassis, smoky tobacco, chocolate, and graphite gives way to a rich, powerful, yet focused and precise Mouton on the palate, with the signature texture this estate is known for, flawless balance, ripe, silky tannins, integrated acidity, and a gorgeous finish. It hit 13.1% alcohol with a pH of 3.76. It's unquestionably a beautiful Mouton in the making, and this château continues to fire on all cylinders. -Jeb Dunnuck\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Mouton Rothschild","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":47865624101015,"sku":"14172","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/4695\/0807\/files\/MoutonRothschildFutures_6e730d76-f010-4b5b-9193-22317f531333.png?v=1780515900"},{"product_id":"2025-chateau-brane-cantenac","title":"2025 Chateau Brane-Cantenac","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Cellar Insider 98-100 Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black cherries, currants, roses, violets, spice, and forest floor create the aromatics. On the palate, the elegance and purity of the fruit are instantly recognizable. The lift and vibrancy, paired with concentration and sensuality, set this apart. The finish starts strong and continues seamlessly. 2025 marks the Lurton family's 100th anniversary of owning the vineyard. You can expect to see a special label celebrating the occasion. The 2025 is in competition with the 2022 as the best vintage ever produced at the estate. The wine blends 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 1% Carmenere, and 1% Cabernet Franc. 13.3% ABV, 3.62 pH.

It has impressive purity on the nose, an aspect of the Grand Vin that Henri Lurton and his team have improved immensely over the last decade. Black cherries, bilberry, violet and crushed stone unfold in the glass, classical in style, which is Brane-Cantenac's signature. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, finely sculpted tannins allied with disarming sapidity and brightness. Not powerful like the 2022, yet pixelated with a mineral, tensile, complex finish. Another feather in the cap for Lurton and, moreover, this is often one of the best values on release. -Neal Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Brane-Cantenac","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":47865624166551,"sku":"14127","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/4695\/0807\/files\/BraneCantenacFutures.png?v=1780515827"}],"url":"https:\/\/europeanwineresource.com\/collections\/2025.oembed","provider":"European Wine Resource","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
