Note di degustazione
Checking in as a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon that's resting in 40% new barrels, including 500-liter barriques, with the balance in once-used barrels, the 2025 Château La Couspaude offers darker red and blue fruits, leafy herbs, and damp earth on the nose. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's ripe and round, with beautifully integrated tannins and acidity, the purity and vibrancy of the vintage, and a great finish.

The 2025 La Couspade is a very pretty, delicate Saint-Émilion. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, cedar and a kiss of spice all grace this understated, classy 2025. All the elements are so well balanced. La Couspade recently changed hands. As part of that transition, the winemaking team is reevaluating cooperage choices, meaning the sample I tasted has not seen any oak yet. That's pretty remarkable considering the wine's natural richness.
The inaugural vintage under the new ownership of Véronique and Pierre-Henri Flurin, the 2025 La Couspaude wafts from the glass with aromas of spice, lead pencil, mulberries and dark wild berries. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, it’s built around a fleshy core of fruit with an enveloping mid-palate framed by fine, velvety tannins, concluding with a long, spicy and gently ethereal finish. A blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, it will be matured without new oak, in a combination of large-format vessels, barrels and tanks.
