Bordeaux 2025 en primeur: Pomerol ‘rain came just in time’
The 2025 Bordeaux vintage has presented a serious challenge for Pomerol, one of the region's most prestigious appellations. Extreme drought caused the normally protective clay soils to harden, threatening vines until timely rain provided relief. However, the damage to yields was substantial, with Pomerol producing 29% less wine than its 10-year average, making it the hardest-hit region among Bordeaux's leading appellations and suggesting potential quality concerns alongside scarcity.
