Score 87-89/100 · Drink 2031-2042, Neal Martin, May 2026
The 2025 Lousteauneuf has quite a punchy and outgoing bouquet with blackberry, cedar and just a very minor acetic note that will dissipate by the time of bottling. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, grainy tannins, cohesive and actually better than the aromatics at present. Give this two or three years once in bottle.

Score 88-90/100 · Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate, Apr 2026
Notes of spices, lead pencil and licorice mingled with dark berries preface the 2025 Lousteauneuf, a medium- to full-bodied, tense and firm wine built around youthful, structured tannins and concluding with a long, spicy finish. It's a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot and 15% Merlot.
