"... kräftige Frucht, blaubeerig, saftig, gute Struktur, kräftige Tannine, sehr maskulin" (04/2026)

Falstaff: 93 Punkte 

"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Schwarze Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Brombeeren und Cassis, kandierte Orangenzesten unterlegt. Saftig, kraftvoll, dunkle Kirschen, runde Tannine, gute Frische, mineralisch, rotbeeriger Nachhall." - Peter Moser (04/2026)


Yves Beck: 94-95 Punkte 
"Die Noten von schwarzen Beeren und Veilchen werden durch Reifungsnuancen mit einem Hauch von frischem Holz ergänzt. Am Gaumen zeigt der Wein Dichte. Sein cremiger Auftakt bereitet den Boden gut vor und wird von feinkörnigen Tanninen gefolgt, die den Mittelgaumen konsolidieren und ihre Kraft gezielt freisetzen. Sie werden von einer prägnanten Säure unterstützt, die für Temperament sorgt und die vorhandene Kraft einrahmt. Ein überzeugender, mitreißender Wein, der eine gelungene Symbiose aus Frische und Kraft schafft." (04/2026)


Jane Anson: 93 Punkte 

"Beautiful tension and concentration, delivers energy and balance, cassis, bilberry, orange peel, showing the gravel clay limestone terroir, lovely fresh lift, well balanced with finesse. A real drinkability is apparent, helped by wine making choices such as low temperature fermentation, low extraction, low amounts of press wine. Harvest September 4 to 20. New label from 2024 vintage, has the Calon heart and makes explicit the link that the two estates were owned by same family since the 19th century. Vincent Millet director. 60% new oak. 3.60 pH. Yield 32 hl/ha." (04/2026)


Decanter: 93 Punkte 
"Slightly herbal aromas mixed with blackcurrant leaf, leading to a grippy and saline palate straight away with sticky liquorice, mint and cooling blueberry aspects. Straight and forward but so clean and precise, really in one line with such persistence and lovely crushed powdery velvet tannins. Excellent presentation – young and a little tight as expected but so pure and focused, with a wonderful soft red cherry aspect underneath. General manager Vincent Millet said: ‘It wasn't very easy in St-Estèphe this year with an intense 15-day harvest across all three wines in the portfolio as all varieties matured quickly, yet we found great Cabernet Sauvignon. For me this is a wine with great potential showing the tannins of the great vintages 2005, 2010 and 2015.’ 3.2pH." - Georgina Hindle (04/2026) 


Vinum: 91 Punkte 

"Rauchige Aromen vermählen mit kühler Mineralik und schwarzer Johannisbeere; am Gaumen satt, dicht und konzentriert, mit zupackenden, sehr hochwertigen Saint-Estèphe-Tanninen und einer cremigen Textur; im Abgang knackig, saftig, erfrischend." - Adrian van Velsen (04/2026)

The 2025 Capbern is an absolute delight. Bold, juicy and super expressive, the 2025 is so showy today. A rush of dark red-toned fruit, new leather, spice, menthol, dried flowers and mocha makes a strong opening statement. Cabernet Sauvignon drives the blend. Capbern is usually pretty burly. The 2025 offers plenty of fruit intensity along with tannins that are more refined than most years. This is such a gorgeous wine. Best of all, Capbern should be a terrific value.

A rich and tannic red with blackberry and blueberry character. Medium-bodied and slightly chewy, but should soften with age. Like eating small berries. (04/2026)

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Capbern pops from the glass with notes of fresh blackberries, cassis, and red currants, plus hints of pencil lead and lavender. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly crafted with black fruit layers and mineral accents, framed by firm, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing earthy. The blend is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. It has a pH of 3.6 and the alcohol is 13.8%. The wine is aging for 18 months in French barriques, 60% new. (04/2026)

A blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2025 Capbern now sports a new label that reflects its historic links to Calon-Ségur. Offering up notes of violets, dark berries and a deft touch of creamy new oak, it's medium- to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with supple, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully structured finish. It checks in at 13.8% alcohol.

Für die Primeur Tastings komme ich seit 30 Jahren nach Bordeaux. Die Woche ist eng getaktet. Stets ist man bemüht, seine Termine möglichst exakt einzuhalten. Aber der Zeitplan kommt oft etwas durcheinander und zu manchen Châteaux kommt man dann einfach zu spät oder auch mal zu ...
