Reviews — En Primeurs

For our latest 2025 Bordeaux En Primeur release, we focus on three Right Bank icons from the Moueix stable—Château Bélair‑Monange in Saint‑Émilion and Pomerol’s Château Trotanoy and Château La Fleur‑Pétrus—estates that combine blue‑chip terroir, meticulous winemaking and some of the most compelling tasting notes of the 2025 vintage.

After extensive tastings of Bordeaux 2025 from barrel, one conclusion is becoming hard to ignore: this is a vintage of high quality, naturally low yields and a supportive pricing backdrop – in other words, a campaign serious collectors cannot afford to skip.

This year, Château Valandraud celebrates a remarkable milestone: 35 vintages of Saint‑Émilion’s most emblematic “garage wine” turned Premier Grand Cru Classé, crowned by the 2025 vintage – offered En Primeur and marking the start of a new chapter alongside the Lefévère family.

These 5 white wines show how dramatically whites and reds’ desirable weather conditions differ. While the reds in 2024 were struggling, the whites celebrated the better year.
