The 2025 Le Thil is a very pretty wine. Deeply pitched floral notes perk up a core of bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, chalk, mint and white pepper. This elegant, polished Pessac-Léognan has a lot to offer. The tannins, which can be a bit intrusive here, are impeccably balanced. This is all charm. Drinking range: 2028 - 2037 Rating: 90-92 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Apr 2026)
Château Le Thil
A very pretty little Château set in parkland, with 11 hectares of vines attached, on the top and south-facing slope of a clay-limestone hillock. The clay soil has prompted the planting of a high proportion of Merlot, and Florence Cathiard calls this 'the Pomerol of Pessac-Leognan'. The Cathiards of Smith Haut Lafitte bought the property in 2012, reuniting it with Smith, as it has previously been under the same ownership in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the two Châteaux were linked by a long drive. Viticulture is done in the same way as at Smith, using the Cathiards system of 'bio-precision'. This is a wine at a modest price which benefits from all the expertise of its great neighbour, and is excellent value.
