2025 is a high-quality vintage in all appellations, with wines of both colors combining ripe, rich fruit, vibrant acidities and moderate alcohol levels - a combination not seen in Bordeaux in modern times. The reds are concentrated and pure with silky tannins and superb freshness and inner depth - the best have the balance to match any top vintage you care to name - while the whites have pungent aromatics, creamy textures and lively acid backbones. Finally, the sweet wines are full-bodied with inviting power and satisfying freshness. Unusually, all styles performed superbly in 2025 and are well worth your consideration!
