Question: Would appreciate learning your opinion on how the 2025 Bordeaux wines are looking early on. Thanks.
Answer: Unfortunately your scribe was not at Bordeaux Primeurs tastings of the 2025 vintage that were just held April 20-23. However lots of bullish reports already being generated. One reason is because of the overall small crop of low yields suggesting the third lowest of all time – after 1991 frosts & 1977 droughts. Early days but certainly it is quality over quantity in 2025 with some expected still developing excellent wines to be bottled next year. It is insightful to read two more detailed reports linked here of Jane Anson: Ten Things to Know, 2025 Vintage; and The Drinks Business: Bordeaux 2025 vintage profile: Quality over quantity – with interesting stats showing lowest yields in Pomerol of 25.9hl/ha + Saint Julien 26.4hl/ha. Continue to monitor the evolution of 2025 Bordeaux.
