Bordeaux En Primeur 2025, Day 5

The day began in Saint Émilion at Château Troplong Mondot, where the 2025 confirms the estate’s continued rise. The wine is rich and powerful, but now delivered with greater control, reinforcing its position among the leading names of the appellation.

At Château Cheval Blanc, the tone shifts completely. The 2025 is defined by elegance and precision, with a supple texture, layered depth, and an intense aromatic profile that unfolds gradually. It is a wine built on refinement rather than scale, and one of the most complete expressions of the vintage.

In Pomerol, Château L’Évangile continues its steady trajectory under Juliette Couderc. The 2025 is once again highly consistent, with a level of polish that reflects both vineyard precision and thoughtful winemaking. Production is down, which will likely make this a sought-after release.

The day concluded at Château La Marzelle, a property that remains under the radar but continues to deliver serious wines. The 2025 is another strong example, and a reminder that Saint Émilion still holds overlooked value for those paying attention.
