‘Contemporary Bordeaux in a classic style’ – François Despagne, Grand Corbin Despagne
Overview
2025 is a vintage that defies easy summary, marked as much by its contradictions as by its successes. Broadly speaking, it is a good to very good year, with several truly outstanding wines. The finest examples show remarkable intensity – of perfume, fruit, structure and freshness – combined with lower-than-average alcohol, powdery tannins and impressive persistence on the finish. It is a vintage in which excellent wines can be found across all communes and appellations, and at every price level.
2025 is one of the hottest and driest vintages on record, yet paradoxically the wines do not taste hot, overripe or jammy. Instead, they display lift, purity, and an attractive interplay of red and black fruit. Alcohol levels are moderate, typically half to one degree lower than in 2022, the most recent hot vintage. Pierre-Olivier Clouet of Cheval Blanc described 2025 as ‘2010 without the alcohol’ and compared his grand vin to the 1961 – one of Bordeaux’s greatest vintages.
