The 2025 Bordeaux vintage is a serious, structured year, with the potential to rank alongside great vintages like 2005, whilst possessing its own unique character. It is not a vintage of instant charm in the style of some recent “solar” years, but one with impressive tannic architecture, fine fruit, and, in the best wines, a very elegant sense of balance.  2025 offers something different: a return to serious, ageworthy Bordeaux, but with the added precision and purity of modern winemaking.
