Under the leadership of M. Thunevin (Valandraud), La Vieille Cure presents a more greedy and less square profile than before and reveals itself as one of Fronsac's major properties.
Bettane+Desseauve : 90/100 “Intense black fruit and delicate spices intertwine in this expressive Fronsac. The dense yet balanced palate confirms a clear improvement.”
Vinous (N. Martin) : 90-92/100 "The 2025 La Vieille Cure feels just a little reticent on the nose and, despite coaxing, refuses to unleash the fruit I was expecting. Maybe just muted on the day? The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins and there is more energy here. Fine acidity. Quite focused, with good tension on the finish, it does suggest that the aromatics were just "on stand-by" during my tasting."
Vinous (A. Galloni) : 88-90/100 "The 2025 La Vieille Cure is powerful and inky. There's plenty of fruit intensity, as always, but this needs more attention paid to the tannins, which are rather bruising at this stage."
