Score 89-91/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, May 2025

Including more Cabernet Franc than normal, the 2024 Château La Prade is 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc from a plateau of pure limestone soils. Black raspberries, sappy flowers, green herbs, and cedar nuances all shine on the nose, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a pure, focused, elegant mouthfeel, some obvious minerality, ripe, polished tannins, and outstanding length.
