Reviews — Grand Cru Classe

Bouchard Père & Fils is one of those names that carries Burgundy history in the same breath as Burgundy authority. Founded in 1731 and now reshaped under Artémis Domaines, the house remains a major reference point for grand cru Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with holdings that still matter not just because of scale, but because of the clarity of the wines themselves.

With hundreds of châteaux offering 2025 Bordeaux En Primeur, we chose a deliberately short list of wines that combine world‑class terroir, proven critical pedigree and genuine excitement around this small, high‑quality vintage—so our clients can focus on the bottles that really matter.

Château Pontet‑Canet has become one of Pauillac’s most sought‑after names, and the 2025 En Primeur release confirms why: a biodynamic Grand Cru Classé delivering First‑Growth‑level ambition in a finely balanced, brilliantly textured wine.

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.
