Marks and reviews

Decanter

Nicely balanced from the start, this doesn’t shout in any one direction - not too sharp or too dull, it’s clean and focused with a good dollop of red berry fruit, fresh acidity and grippy tannins. Well made, if not hugely exciting, but nonetheless enjoyable. A touch stalky on the finish, some dryness as well as cedar, clove and a mineral element. 7% Malbec completes the blend.

Jeff Leve

Leve Jeff

Medium-bodied, floral, fresh, and vibrant, the wine focuses you on its red berry side, with vibrant raspberries, cherries, and red plums. Elegantly styled, there is lift, and energy in the finish. Drink from 2027-2042. 91-93 Pts

Le Figaro Vin

An opulent, polished nose opens with soft fresh-fruit aromas, accompanied by chocolate notes. The same tenderness of red fruit (morello cherry, candied wild strawberry) comes through on the palate, with a fluid, satiny texture. A pleasing acidity energizes the wine.

Vertdevin

The nose is fresh, mineral, with a touch of graphene, hints of cornflower, and a fine aromatic darkness. It reveals notes of blackberry and violet, and more subtly blueberry, combined with touches of fleshy strawberry, as well as hints of graphene, a discreet hint of lilac, fleshy black cherry, and a certain aromatic depth. Indulgent. The palate is beautifully guided, supple, juicy and gourmand. It shows suppleness, indulgence, delicacy, an airy, precise feel, accuracy and tension. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackcurrant and juicy/bright black cherry, combined with touches of fresh raspberry, as well as hints of lilac and cornflower, fine notes of small bright red fruits, chocolate and ripe toasted hazelnut. A lovely gentle chew and a fine velvety feel on the finish. Freshness, suppleness, energy, a lovely tang and purity of fruit. A wine offering a fine aromatic darkness and great energy.

A Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé combining freshness and expression of a great limestone terroir

The estate

Tracing its origins to 1513, Château Soutard is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. This estate, located on the limestone plateau, has undergone a remarkable evolution since its creation as an agricultural operation. The current château, built in 1741 by Marie Couture, bears witness to this rich history. Château Soutard has been owned since 2006 by the insurance company AG2R LA MONDIALE.

The vineyard

Château Soutard's vineyard covers 35 contiguous hectares on the limestone plateau of the northern slope of Saint-Émilion. This privileged position on an clay-limestone soil imparts to the wines their distinctive character, marked by beautiful freshness and typical minerality. The estate has undertaken a significant restructuring of its vineyard, adopting sustainable viticultural practices that respect this exceptional terroir.

The vintage

The year 2024 was characterized by an oceanic climate with 60% more rainfall compared to the ten-year average. After a particularly mild autumn and winter, spring and summer proved rather cool. The vegetative cycle was the longest observed in 10 years, with a late bud break, an extended flowering period and heterogeneous ripening.

Winemaking and ageing

Ageing is carried out 50% in new barrels, 20% in one-year-old barrels and 30% in oak foudres. This latter practice, introduced in 2017, helps preserve the freshness and authenticity of Saint-Émilion’s limestone terroir.

Blend

Merlot (48%), Cabernet Franc (32%), Cabernet Sauvignon (13%) and Malbec (7%).
