Château VILLEMAURINE
Grand cru classé

This 8-hectare vineyard, located on the outskirts of the village of Saint-Émilion, sits directly on the Saint-Émilion asterian limestone bedrock, which features an extensive network of underground quarries. Unlike the rounded Sansonnet, Villemaurine stands out for its freshness, its slender structure, and its aromatic vibrancy.

Bettane+Desseauve : 95/100 “Blackberry, blackcurrant and floral notes combine to create a charming bouquet. On the palate, it combines elegance and depth in a mature style.”

J-M Quarin : 94/100 “A hint of vanilla when the glass is swirled. Delicate on the palate at first, very refined in the mid-palate, with a graceful texture; the wine melts on the finish, which is long, succulent and fragrant, with no harsh tannins. It’s very good.”

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 93-95/100 "The 2025 Villemaurine is impressively deep and polished, even if there is some reduction. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, grilled herbs and lavender convey tons of textural intensity and sheer power. A reduction in new oak and the introduction of casks for both vinification and élevage are some of the recent developments here."

La Revue du Vin de France : 92-93/100 “We should commend the skilful handling of this vintage, which has resulted in a wine with crisp fruit, intense citrus notes and a delicate texture. The palate is clear and pure, with velvety tannins.”

Vinous (N. Martin) : 91-93/100 "The 2025 Villemaurine  has a refined nose, mainly red fruit (strawberry and raspberry) with hints of pressed violet in the background. The oak is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with bright red cherry and strawberry fruit that dovetails into darker fruit towards the structured finish. There is a pleasing fluidity to this Villemaurine with a peppery aftertaste. Quite a serious wine."
