I was in Bordeaux two weeks ago, tasting extensively to get a clear sense of the vintage—I’ll have some updated notes coming soon but here’s some initial thoughts
This is a vintage you'll be able to enjoy on the younger side, much like 2004. The wines show accessibility, freshness, and charm, even in their youth.
I tasted very few wines that were thin or green—a testament to the state-of-the-art winemaking, sheer talent, and hard work of our friends in Bordeaux. Even in a tricky growing season, quality prevailed.
This is a vintage to focus on the top Châteaux. These estates had the resources to do whatever was necessary to produce wines they’re proud of, and it shows in the glass.
Prices are way down. Cheval Blanc released yesterday at its lowest price since 2004, and Montrose is being offered at its lowest price in over 20 years. The Larcis price is a steal, Haut Bailly came down 32% , etc. etc. This represents a rare opportunity for savvy collectors.
Again, more notes and individual wine picks coming soon—stay tuned!
**update 05/15/25**
It's been a very busy week and prices continue to be very low. Two of the top wines of the vintage released yesterday and today-Carmes Haut Brion (they are just on a roll these days!) and Cos d'Estrournel. the Cos is quite an achievment. I loved it-it will drink well young and should age very, very well. Beautiful wine from them. Also in the right bank Larcis and Pavie Macquin are absolute bargains. And to repeat above-don't sleep on Montrose. First growth quality once again!
