Early 2025 - off to a good start

The Bordeaux winegrowing campaign in January and February 2025 was a testament to the resilience and expertise of the region’s winegrowers. During these months, the critical phase of pruning and thinning takes place, carefully shaping the dormant vines to ensure a productive growing season. This year, however, the task was made more difficult by sometimes difficult weather conditions.

Bordeaux experienced temperature fluctuations, occasional frost and heavy rainfall. These conditions required extra vigilance from vineyard workers as they had to maintain the delicate balance between protecting the vines and preparing them for the coming season. Despite the hurdles, we adapted our pruning plans and techniques to mitigate the effects of the bad weather. This allowed us to complete the pruning last week.

This early commitment underlines our desire to maintain the high standards for which the Château is renowned. As the vines awaken in the coming months, the groundwork done during this difficult winter will play a crucial role in shaping the quality of the 2025 vintage. We can only hope that 2025 will spare us from extreme weather conditions in the coming months. In any case, we are ready to take on any challenge that may come our way.
