In this episode of Bordeaux Unpicked 2025, the team explores the wines of the renowned Moueix family, reflecting on tastings at Château Bélair-Monange and later in London. They discuss the standout qualities of the 2025 vintage, highlighting the elegance, balance, and terroir expressions across the range, from approachable favourites such as Peymouton to celebrated estates including Hosanna, La Fleur-Pétrus, Bélair-Monange, and Trotanoy. Alongside tasting notes and vineyard insights, the episode offers listeners a glimpse of one of the most respected collections of wines on the right bank of Bordeaux.

We turn our attention to Château Rocheyron, the Saint-Émilion estate of renowned winemaker Peter Sisseck. Best known for Dominio de Pingus in Spain, Sisseck has over the past fifteen years refined Rocheyron into one of the most exciting ‘new’ estates on the right bank of Bordeaux. Join us as we explore the story behind the property, its unique limestone terroir, the evolution of its biodynamic approach, and why the 2025 vintage is generating such enthusiasm among critics, customers and the C&B team alike.

Bordeaux can feel formulaic until you encounter the Mitjaviles. In this episode, we dive into the much loved Right Bank wines of François and Louis Mitjavile - Tertre Roteboeuf, Roc de Cambes, and L’Aurage - and the radical philosophy behind them. These are wines of late-picked fruit, haunting aromatics and velvet-textured tannins, built for emotion rather than conformity. Alongside standout 2025 tastings, including a potentially benchmark L’Aurage, we explore why these wines are among Bordeaux’s unmistakable blind-tasting signatures, and why a mature Tertre Roteboeuf can humble the best of them.

Welcome to the 2025 Bordeaux En Primeur Campaign! In this episode, the Fine Wine team discusses the key elements about the 2025 vintage, from the growing season to market insights, ahead of their official visit to the region.

François Carillon is the 16th generation of a winemaking family which traces its Burgundian roots back to 1520. Since his first vintage in 2010, François has proven his domaine to be both a worthy successor to the much-loved wines of his father, Louis Carillon, as well as making some of the most exciting modern white Burgundies. 
Following the retirement of Louis, the vineyards were divided between the two sons, François and his brother Jacques. Domaine François Carillon sits in the very centre of the village of Puligny-Montrachet. The wines hit the sweet spot between pristine fruit, precise acidity and textural richness, which we adore. François’ sons Mathis and Paul have recently joined the domaine full time. The future is looking particularly rosy here. 
The 2024s were harvested earlier than usual, in the first two weeks of September by a team of 50 pickers. The grapes were immediately pressed on reception, and the juice was left in tank to cool prior to fermentation. The majority of barrels used are 350-litre capacity. Always looking to expand his horizons, François has also produced a Beaujolais Blanc this year.
