Tasting notes
The 2025 Poesia was picked on September 10 and 12 and raised partly in tank and partly in barrels. It has a vivid, limestone-scented bouquet with a marine-tinged note, very terroir-expressive as I would have expected. The palate is medium-bodied with edgy tannins, again quite limestone-driven, tensile and linear, with a sapid finish. Give it a few months once in bottle because this is a superb Saint-Émilion that has a long future.

Deep purple-hued with a beautiful limestone character, the 2025 Château Poesia reveals plums, black raspberries, and liquid violet nuances on the nose. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a deep, layered, pure mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. Hitting 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.4, it's another incredibly complete, balanced, satisfying Saint-Emilion that has tons to love.
The 2025 Poesia is stellar. Limestone soils on a cooler terroir vis-à-vis Barde-Haut, along with a higher presence of Cabernet Franc, yield a Saint-Émilion that blends richness and saline-infused energy. Dark red/purplish fruit, rose petal, crushed rocks, sage and mint race across the palate. This is a terrific effort from Hélène Garcin and Patrice Lévêque.
