2025 Is Turning Out to Be a Great Year for Wine
The 2025 vintage features record-early harvests and uneven impacts from climate change with major wildfires and heatwaves, while markets face weak consumption and tariffs, experts say.
- Record-Breaking early picking across regions shows pickers worked at Château Troplong Mondot and Alsace reporting its earliest harvest as the Rhône started earlier than in 2024.
- According to a May study by two French agricultural research institutes and the University of British Columbia, experts say rising temperatures and extreme weather compressed the growing season, with a warm spring and back-to-back heat waves speeding ripening.
- In Burgundy, Maison Joseph Drouhin notes a 30% crop reduction, while winemakers in Corbières worry about wildfire damage, and Antonio Rallo of Donnafugata reports promising quality in Sicily.
- Despite excellent wines, producers face lower quantities amid strong demand for Burgundy, leading to higher prices and vineyard pullouts from Sonoma to Bordeaux, while consumption is down and tariffs promise price hikes.
- Looking ahead, winemakers expect many 2025 wines to be collectible despite lower yields, with Bordeaux promising good quality and Burgundy experiencing a crop down 30%.
