FineThe 2025 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc, blended with 20% Sémillon from the plot in the Grand Vin, has an attractive nose with scents of grapefruit, citrus peel and touches of flint. Fine delineation and good vigour. The palate is well balanced, with a lovely texture, impressive weight, white peach mixed with pear and lemongrass that segues into a vibrant and spicy finish. Excellent. One of the best vintages that I have tasted. Drinking range: 2028 - 2042 Rating: 92-94 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2026)

A blend of 53% Sauvignon Blanc and 47% Sémillon, and at this stage the two varieties seem to be battling for centre stage. The Sauvignon brings brightness, energy and drive, while the SémillonA blend of 53% Sauvignon Blanc and 47% Sémillon, and at this stage the two varieties seem to be battling for centre stage. The Sauvignon brings brightness, energy and drive, while the Sémillon counters with depth and texture. What impresses most is the tension between the two. Fresher and more tightly wound than many of its peers, the wine combines real intensity with a lithe, almost effortless sense of movement. There is plenty of concentration beneath the surface, but it remains coiled rather than expansive, the power held neatly in reserve. Vibrant, focused and full of energy, this is a wine that feels as though it has plenty more to reveal. A very smart effort indeed.L&S (Apr 2026)

Citrus confit, white flowers, mint and chalk open with a bit of time in the glass. The team, led by Technical Director Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy, opted for a bit more bâtonnage to compensate for the early harvest, a choice that paid off handsomely. The 2025 is a serious Aile d’Argent for the dinner table. Drinking range: 2027 - 2031 Rating: 91-93 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Apr 2026)

The La Mission Haut-Brion 2025 Blanc, a blend of 64.5% Sémillon and 35.5% Sauvignon Blanc, was vinified in barrels and bottled from April 13. It reveals a pure, crystalline bouquet that is both freshThe La Mission Haut-Brion 2025 Blanc, a blend of 64.5% Sémillon and 35.5% Sauvignon Blanc, was vinified in barrels and bottled from April 13. It reveals a pure, crystalline bouquet that is both fresh and lightly exotic, with notes of ripe white fruits, jasmine, linden and verbena. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and enveloping, it’s layered yet vibrant and built around a fleshy core of fruit, supported by bright acidity and elegant tension. Ethereal and finely detailed, it is remarkable in its ability to retain freshness despite the warmth of the vintage. This is one of the most complete expressions of the wine in recent years, combining both density and brightness, and among the finest white wines produced in Bordeaux this year.

The palate is well balanced, with a peachy entryThe 2025 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc has a well-defined nose, but perhaps like the Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, it feels bashful at this early stage. The palate is well balanced, with a peachy entry and, here, it is more expressive, with hints of mango and Clementine, just a little oak guiding the finish. Not quite up there with the outstanding '24, but close. Drinking range: 2028 - 2043 Rating: 92-94 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2026)

The 2025 Le Blanc de Duhart-Milon constitutes the fifth vintage from regrafted vines on cooler, late-ripening limestone soils, mainly Sémillon with 15% malo. It has a well-defined bouquet, perhapsThe 2025 Le Blanc de Duhart-Milon constitutes the fifth vintage from regrafted vines on cooler, late-ripening limestone soils, mainly Sémillon with 15% malo. It has a well-defined bouquet, perhaps more primal than previous vintages at this stage, leesy with touches of apple blossom. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, bright acids, again, a little more lees than before, but that leads to a complex, stem ginger tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. Very fine. Drinking range: 2028 - 2038 Rating: 92-94 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2026)

Lemon confit,The 2025 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc gets my vote for the white wine of the vintage. Rich and powerful in the glass, but also beautifully vibrant, the 2025 dazzles from start to finish. Lemon confit, pear, slate, mint, white flowers and tangerine peel are some of the many aromas and flavors that develop over time. The 2025 is quite simply stunning. Don’t miss it!
