Six 2025 Bordeaux Releases Still on Our Radar |
As we move through the 2025 En Primeur campaign, a number of wines have stood out for delivering exceptional quality, strong critical recognition, and compelling value. While attention now turns toward an exciting lineup of upcoming releases, this is an ideal moment to revisit several wines that have impressed us most so far.
From benchmark appellations and prestigious second wines to estates firmly on the rise, these 2025s offer the combination of pedigree, pricing, and critical acclaim that collectors seek each year. If you have yet to secure an allocation, these are releases well worth considering before they become increasingly difficult to source.

Malescot St. Exupery 2025
Château Malescot St. Exupéry 2025 is one of Margaux’s most compelling buys this En Primeur campaign. Long admired by insiders for delivering well above its Third Growth status, it combines the perfume and elegance that define great Margaux with remarkable depth and concentration in 2025. With tiny yields and limited availability, this is a wine that rewards early buyers and should not be overlooked.
