Tasting notes
The 2025 Larmande has a rather reticent bouquet that struggles to follow two stunners, Grand Mayne and Larcis-Ducasse, at this tasting. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, just missing a little acidity, with a slight monotone finish. Not bad, but not top league.

Juicy blue fruits, spring flowers, damp herbs, and ripe cherry notes all emerge from the 2025 Château Larmande, a blend of 83% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon being raised in a mix of new barrels, one-year-old barrels, amphora, and stainless steel tanks. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe and nicely polished tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and outstanding length. Checking in at 13.5% alcohol, it's a successful, balanced, complex 2025 in the making.
This red shows blackberry and black currant character, a medium body with fine tannins and a juicy finish. Polished and refined.
The 2025 Larmande is a powerful, explosive wine. A blast of dark-toned fruit, lavender, licorice, espresso, blood orange and pomegranate liqueur stains the palate with intensity. Broad and ample in the glass, with striking power, the 2025 has a lot going for it.
