Bordeaux Futures 2025

95 Points – Georgina Hindle, Decanter
“Quite a fragrant, aromatic nose, full of intense violets and irises. Sleek and so svelte, this has such a silky, almost creamy texture, tannins are gorgeous and this has such a juicy, lively core. Nothing out of place here. Super accessible and one of the best primeurs samples for consistency tasted three times. Ends salty with a stony grip.”

94 Points – Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
“Captures the austerity that you expect and want during En Primeur, wet stones and graphite, plenty of elegance and balance, measured acidities that give Left Bank typicity, a ton of ageing potential and curls of gunsmoke and flowers.”

93–94 Points – James Suckling
“This shows an attractive nose of flowers and subtle spices from the oak. It has good concentration and a balanced palate, with a clear, expressive fruit profile.”

93–95 Points – The Wine Independent (Lisa Perrotti-Brown)
“Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Cantemerle pops from the glass with vivacious notes of freshly crushed blackcurrants and raspberries, giving way to an undercurrent of red roses, pencil lead, and cedar with a touch of black olives. The medium-bodied palate is bright and refreshing with firm, fine-grained tannins and a long, fragrant finish.”

92–94 Points – Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
“Currants, cedar, flowers, and tobacco leaf create the perfume. Medium-bodied, vibrant, soft, and refined, with sweet cassis and polished tannins on the finish.”
