News — Bordeaux Vintages

From April 20–23, 2026, Bordeaux will once again welcome the global trade for En Primeurs Week, where the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux presents the much‑anticipated 2025 vintage from barrel.

As the 2023 En Primeur campaign approaches, a consensus is forming among top critics, including JamesSuckling.com: the 2023 Bordeaux vintage is a triumph of "classic" style, defined by moderate alcohol, freshness, and an elegance reminiscent of the great vintages of the 1980s.

For the first time, Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos illustrated the wine label with her vibrant "Paraíso" (Paradise) artwork, featuring a detailed grape cluster symbolizing the natural and human elements that create great wine—earth, water, sun rays, night coolness, and human labor depicted as a triangle.

The global fine wine market is showing concrete signs of a recovery, with the Liv-ex Fine Wine 100 Index posting its first monthly gain in over a year during September 2025. This stabilization follows a prolonged correction and is underpinned by returning confidence, attractive pricing, and a significantly improved buyer-to-seller ratio. The data suggests classic, blue-chip collectible wines from major regions are once again attracting significant cross-regional demand.
