The 2024 La Dauphine is another impressive wine for the year. In 2024 La Dauphine emerges only from parcels on the limestone plateau, a decision that resulted in only the best 15% being bottled. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, new leather, licorice and dried herbs all build in the glass, framed by mineral undertones that wrap it all up in style. Tasted two times. Drinking range: 2026 - 2034 Rating: 91-93 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Apr 2025)
The 2024 Château de La Dauphine was reduced to 30,000 bottles this year due to yields at 25 hl/ha. The selection came only from two parts on the plateau. It has a pretty bouquet with light violet scents and neatly integrated oak. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins and a dash of white pepper toward the finish. This is a successful 2024 that will give pleasure over the next decade or more. Drinking range: 2028 - 2045 Rating: 90-92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2025)
A refined and flavorful red with balance. It shows aromas of dark cherries, herbs and baking spices. Flavorful and spicy with an elegant texture and a flavorful finish with good length. Rating: 90-91 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Apr 2025)
