## Resource

Db’s Bordeaux correspondent Colin Hay speaks to Arabella Mileham about the 2025 Bordeaux en primeur campaign. Noting the surprising quality of the wines despite challenging weather conditions, he shares his top picks of the vintage as well as the challenges ahead. This year, more than ever, pricing discipline will be crucial, and a successful campaign is vital for Bordeaux's financial stability - so far, the pace of the campaign has been slow and early releases shows modest reductions, but this may accelerate, and the next two weeks will prove decisive. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
