Bordeaux En Primeur 2025 Recommendations

The best 2025 Bordeaux reds have richness and an abundance of generous ripe fruit, while remaining incredibly vibrant and fresh, with perfectly judged tannins that melt into the wine. The word of the trip was ‘bright’, inspired by the wonderful perfume, and fine, lifted, high-toned aromas.

Our selection policy has been particularly rigorous this year. Our top picks are below, with tasting notes and scores, alongside critics' notes and scores as they are published. The price and status of each wine will update as it is released.
