News — Bordeaux 2025

A sale drawn directly from Château Haut-Brion’s cellars has delivered one of early October’s most compelling fine-wine stories. Reported on October 5, the Sotheby’s auction raised €3.4 million and attracted participants from 29 countries, bringing nearly a century of the estate’s history into the collector market.

The Bordeaux 2025 En Primeur campaign moved into a critical phase in June 2026, with key releases finally arriving into a market that broadly agrees on the quality of the vintage but remains very cautious on price.

Just days before En Primeurs Week kicks off, the UGCB has offered a first stylistic snapshot of Bordeaux 2025, describing it as a “truly great vintage” that combines early‑ripening fruit, density and remarkable freshness.
