Château Soutard is one of the appellation’s historic heavyweights, with vineyard origins dating back to 1513 on the prized limestone plateau, a site long recognised for producing structured, age-worthy Saint-Émilion.

This is unapologetically traditional Saint-Émilion, a Grand Cru Classé built on structure, depth and ageing potential, producing serious, cellar-worthy wines that showcase the power of limestone terroir and reward those willing to give them time.

En Primeur Offer - Secure Bordeaux’s most sought-after wines before they’re bottled. This exclusive pre-release offers early access to top estates. Wines are expected to land in New Zealand by late 2028.

Critic Scores

97 // Yves Beck

"The freshness, elegance, and precision of the Soutard 2025 bouquet immediately command attention. They herald a great wine, directly and almost without doubt! Iridescent scents mingle with hints of raspberries and blackberries. On the palate, the finesse promised by the bouquet is perfectly realized, even enhanced! The wine captivates with its depth, its gentleness, its desire to reveal itself gradually, without raising its voice, but simply underscoring its priorities and ambitions. With its excellent definition, the Soutard 2025 shines through its details and a commendable ability to ascend to spheres of excellence without any fuss. A truly great wine is in the making! 2030-2055 - 95 to 97 Points - Yves Beck"

96 // Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Soutard comes barreling out with bold notes of crushed blackberries and raspberries, followed by suggestions of wild sage, rose bud tea, and camphor with a hint of lavender. The medium-bodied palate is plush and vibrant with a racy line of freshness and a long, fragrant finish. - 94 to 96 Points - Lisa Perrotti-Brown"

95 // James Suckling

"A tight and crunchy red with orange peel, berry and cherry aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, racy and delicious. A very modern young Bordeaux. - 94 to 95 Points - James Suckling"

95 // The Wine Advocate

"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. - 93 to 95 Points - William Kelley"

95 // Vinous

"The 2025 Soutard takes all the qualities of this site and dials them up a few notches. Red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal and a kick of spice open first, framed by suave, silky tannins that add to an impression of finesse. All the elements are so well balanced. - 93 to 95 Points -Antonio Galloni"
