93-95/100Jeb Dunnuck

A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2025 Château La Clotte comes from vines just outside the village, not far from Pavie Macquin, and is resting all in new barrels. Cassis, juicy black cherries, liquid violets, and chalky minerality all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a focused, mineral-laced mouthfeel, solid tannins, and a lengthy, nicely structured finish that's very much in the vintage profile. It should need short-term cellaring.

90-94/100 William Kelly

The 2025 La Clotte reveals aromas of sweet dark berries, spices and creamy new oak, followed by a medium- to full-bodied, fleshy but structured palate. If this can attain better integration during élevage, it will merit a higher score.

94/100 Antonio Galloni

The 2025 La Clotte is a powerful, layered wine that needs a few minutes in the glass to open. Lifted floral and savory overtones meld into a core of dark red cherry fruit, mocha, new leather, menthol, licorice and dried herbs. Bright saline notes follow, shaping the mid-palate and finish nicely. This needs time to unwind, but there's a lot of wine here. Gorgeous.
