Bordeaux En Primeur

We’ve just tasted the 2025 vintage in Bordeaux and it’s clear many estates have produced outstanding wines in very small quantities. You can read our full vintage report and follow along with all the latest releases on our "What's New" page. To receive our expert insight and get advice from a Private Client Advisor, you must sign up to our Bordeaux mailing list below

The vintage has delivered stunning, concentrated red wines with ripeness, natural acidity, and moderate alcohol (generally 12.5-13.5%). It's an approachable, joyful style of Bordeaux that will also age gracefully. The only downside is the volume of wine which, for some châteaux, is the smallest since 1991. All the more reason to secure your favorite wines at first release!

This is the time of year Bordeaux châteaux release their latest vintage. It's your first chance to buy, ensuring privileged access and peace of mind on provenance. You can also secure the exact bottle format you want, from halves to imperials and beyond! The wines are currently in Bordeaux and the purchase is for future delivery to our UK warehouse. Once the wines arrive, we can help provide a quote for onward shipping to the US, or you can enjoy all the benefits of UK storage at a preferential rate for international clients.
