Note di degustazione
The 2025 Soutard has a bright nose with black cherries, cassis and violet scents. It needs just a little more delineation, but is not bad. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. It is not the most complex or substantial Saint-Émilion, but there is elegance and purity here, and it should give 15 to 18 years' drinking pleasure.

A Merlot-dominant blend of 76% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec, and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2025 Château Soutard is beautiful. Juicy red, blue, and black fruits, graphite, crushed stone, and flowers all define the aromatics of this quintessential, medium to full-bodied, concentrated 2025. On the palate, it has ripe tannins and a great finish. It's going to spend 15 months in 50% new barrels with the balance in once-used barrels and foudre.
Another superb effort, the 2025 Soutard appears to rival the 2023 and 2022 rendition for the title of the finest wine this estate has produced to date. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries and plums mingled with hints of rose and iris, it's medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with lovely purity, refined tannins and a long, penetrating finish.
A tight and crunchy red with orange peel, berry and cherry aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, racy and delicious. A very modern young Bordeaux.
