Critic reviews
"Far more approachable and attractive than in recent vintages, despite a naturally somber register, the 2025 Le Boscq reveals aromas of licorice, gentian, lead pencil and dark wild berries. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and layered, it’s well balanced and built around a core of fruit framed by velvety tannins, concluding with a long, mineral finish. This is the first vintage to be certified organic at the estate and the first wine from Maison Dourthe to be farmed under organic viticulture."
Yohan Castaing, April 2026, RobertParker.com
"The 2025 Le Boscq has a forward black plum, licorice and sous-bois-scented nose that just needs a little more refinement. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity and gentle grip, but doesn't quite kick on on the finish like some of its peers. Not bad though, and it should gain complexity in barrel."
Neal Martin, May 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2025 Le Boscq is plump, juicy and quite forward. Inky dark fruit, licorice, lavender, mint and chocolate are front and center. Plush contours wrap around the generous, pliant mid-palate. This opens beautifully through the finish. There's just a bit of new oak that needs to resolve."
Antonio Galloni, April 2026, Vinous.com
"A structured and chiseled red with aromas of black currants, blackberries, crushed stones and dried spices. Medium-bodied. Solid and precise finish. Classy. From organically grown grapes. 47% merlot, 47% cabernet sauvignon, 4% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc."

"Concentrated and intense with lots of power on offer here, generous and rich with ripe black fruits. So filling but really cool and crisp too – the acidity keeps the focus and drive so even though this is super tannic it ends chalky, salty, light and fresh. Excellent potential here and yet another good quality vintage at this consistent estate. A yield of 41hl/ha. Pénélope Godefroy now technical director across the Maison Dourthe portfolio. 2% Cabernet Franc completes the blend."
