Chateau Soutard Cadet Grand Cru
Blackberries, darker raspberries, violets, Asian spices, and chocolate all emerge from the 2025 Château Soutard-Cadet, a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru from deeper clay and limestone soils. Based on 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot that will spend 16 months in 70% new oak with the balance in amphora, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with classic Right Bank minerality, good freshness, integrated acidity, ripe, building tannins, and outstanding length. It checks in at 14% alcohol.
