Bordeaux En Primeur 2025, Day 2

The second day moved deeper into the Right Bank, beginning at Château Figeac (Château Figeac), where the 2025 shows clarity of fruit and a precise expression of the Saint Émilion plateau. The balance between Cabernet Franc and Merlot appears particularly well judged, reinforcing the estate’s distinctive identity.

At Château La Conseillante (Château La Conseillante), Marielle Cazaux (mariellecazaux) continues to refine an already strong trajectory. The 2025 reflects careful vineyard work, with purity of fruit and a sense of restraint that points toward long term evolution.

Château Angélus (Château Angélus) combined substance with setting, as the newly renovated cellars add another layer to the estate’s evolution. The 2025 stands out for its completeness, with ripeness, structure, and polish already in place at this early stage.

The day also included a broader look at Pomerol during a tasting and lunch at Château Beauregard (Château Beauregard), followed by Saint Émilion wines at Valandraud (chateauvalandraud). Across these tastings, Pomerol continues to stand out for its consistency and precision, emerging as the most compelling appellation so far this week.
