In addition to the trio of new Château Latour wines being released on 17 March, as covered on Premium last month, this year’s line-up features new vintages of established names including Promontory, Ornellaia, Borgogno, Dal Forno, Ao Yun and I Sodi di S. Niccolò as well as a few newcomers.
The March campaign is always smaller than its September sibling. But, while the trend in recent years had been toward expansion, the turbulent global trading conditions have led to a more selective approach, ensuring that wines with strong track records take centre stage.
The strategy is one that focuses on prioritising familiar names and formidable brands that have the likelihood of guaranteed onward sales.

<h2><strong>Newcomers</strong></h2>
<p>That said, among the most exciting additions this year is Domaine Alexandre Bonnet. This is a grower Champagne from the most southerly part of the region in Les Riceys in the Côtes des Bar, and part of the Lanson-BCC Group.</p>
<p><div class="ad-container ad-container--mobile"><div id="post-inline-2" class="ipc-advert"></div></div></p>
<p>The La Forêt, Brut Nature, Blanc de Noirs release is made from a selection of Pinot Noir planted in 1973 and spent 39 months on its lees, disgorging without dosage or sulphur.</p>
<p>The Champagne, which also has special eco-packaging including a water-saving cotton label and recycled silk paper, adds further depth to the sparkling wine offering alongside the Joyau Rosé 2012.</p>

<h2>Burgundy in Bordeaux</h2>
<p>Wines from three new family-owned and run Burgundy producers were also present at the Joanne négociant tasting last month.</p>
<p>They include a red and white from Mercurey&#8217;s Domaine François Raquillet, four wines from Meursault-based Domaine Quentin Jeannot and three out of a larger 13-wine release from Gevrey-Chambertin&#8217;s Domaine Geantet-Pansiot.</p>
<div class="ad-container ad-container--mobile"><div id="post-inline-4" class="ipc-advert"></div></div>
<p>The latter, family-run estate, now helmed by third-generation Fabien Geantet, is known for its terroir-driven wines. It was founded in 1954 and grew from just over 1ha to 30ha of vineyards spread out across the region today.</p>
<div id="attachment_551919" style="width: 559px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-551919" class="lazyload blur-up size-large wp-image-551919" data-processed src="https://www.decanter.com.master.public.keystone-prod-eks-euw1.futureplc.engineering/wp-content/themes/simba-theme/assets/images/placeholder.png" data-src="https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/02/Geantet-Pansiot-549x830.jpg" alt="The trio of Domaine Geantet Pansiot wines" width="549" height="830" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/02/Geantet-Pansiot-549x830.jpg 549w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/02/Geantet-Pansiot-300x454.jpg 300w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/02/Geantet-Pansiot-89x135.jpg 89w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/02/Geantet-Pansiot-212x320.jpg 212w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/02/Geantet-Pansiot-410x620.jpg 410w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/02/Geantet-Pansiot.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px" /><p id="caption-attachment-551919" class="wp-caption-text">The trio of Domaine Geantet Pansiot wines</p></div>
<div class="ad-container ad-container--mobile"><div id="post-inline-5" class="ipc-advert"></div></div>
<h2>Italian excellence</h2>
<p>Italian wines continue to dominate the releases, with many exceptional offerings reinforcing Italy’s prominence on La Place.</p>
<p>Particularly excellent are the new vintages from Super Tuscan Castellare di Castellina, I Sodi di S. Niccolò 2021; Ceretto, Bricco Rocche Barolo 2021; Poggio di Sotto Riserva, Brunello di Montalcino 2019 and all three of Borgogno&#8217;s 2019 single-vineyard releases; Cannubi, Liste and for the first time, Annunziata.</p>
<p>The historic Barolo estate, founded in 1761 is now owned by Andrea Farinetti and the Farinetti family of Eataly fame.</p>
<p>This famous label has undergone a renaissance in recent years, returning vinification to concrete vats, converting to organic farming, and renovating its historical cellars in Barolo.</p>
<p>Produced in tiny quantities, just 3,000 bottles of each wine will be exclusively released through négociants.</p>
<div id="attachment_551917" style="width: 559px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-551917" class="lazyload blur-up size-large wp-image-551917" data-processed src="https://www.decanter.com.master.public.keystone-prod-eks-euw1.futureplc.engineering/wp-content/themes/simba-theme/assets/images/placeholder.png" data-src="https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/02/Borgogno-549x830.jpg" alt="Borgogno, Annunziata, Barolo 2019" width="549" height="830" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/02/Borgogno-549x830.jpg 549w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/02/Borgogno-300x454.jpg 300w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/02/Borgogno-89x135.jpg 89w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/02/Borgogno-212x320.jpg 212w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/02/Borgogno-410x620.jpg 410w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/02/Borgogno.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px" /><p id="caption-attachment-551917" class="wp-caption-text">Borgogno, Annunziata, Barolo 2019</p></div>
<h2><strong>Market conditions</strong></h2>
<p>This year’s releases underscore a pragmatic response to the ongoing difficulties facing the fine wine sector. The fallout from the lacklustre 2024 hors Bordeaux campaigns – both March and September – lingers, with négociants still navigating the aftermath of an oversupplied market and tepid consumer interest.</p>
<p>According to a report by WineCap, published last December, &#8216;globally, 2024 saw a persistent decline in prices, with the Liv-ex 100 index dropping 9.2% year-to-date and Bordeaux’s First Growths (tracked by the Liv-ex 50) falling 10.9%&#8217;.</p>
<p>Economic headwinds – rising interest rates, a faltering Asian market, and shifting consumer habits – have squeezed margins and dampened demand, leaving négociants and merchants grappling with unsold stock from recent vintages.</p>
<p>&#8216;Rather than complaining, we&#8217;re chasing solutions,&#8217; Jean-Quentin Prats, general manager of Joanne Rare Wines, told <em>Decanter</em> during the tasting in February.</p>
<p>&#8216;Our number one value is flexibility and a capacity to act quickly,&#8217; he said, adding that, &#8216;it&#8217;s not a crisis of consumption, people are still enjoying fine wines&#8217;.</p>
<p>Bordeaux itself has also faced particular strain. In Chris Mercer&#8217;s <a href="https://www.decanter.com.master.public.keystone-prod-eks-euw1.futureplc.engineering.master.public.keystone-prod-eks-euw1.futureplc.engineering/premium/wine-investment-market-malaise-hits-bordeaux-prices-550866/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>latest <em>Decanter</em> market watch analysis</strong></a>, he wrote; &#8216;Liv-ex, a global marketplace for the trade, recently noted a &#8220;significant stock overhang&#8221; affecting younger Bordeaux vintages on the market, in particular.</p>
<p>Its Bordeaux 500 index was down by around 4% in value in five years to the end of 2024&#8242;.</p>
<p>Adding further complexity is a projected 22% reduction in France&#8217;s 2024 harvest, with Bordeaux&#8217;s confirmed as the lowest since 1991, although it remains to be seen whether scarcity will translate into price recovery.</p>
<p>For these releases however, Prats remains optimistic; &#8216;I think these wines will be well received and bring opportunities for sales &#8211; we have a combination of new labels, strong brands and good vintages&#8217;.</p>

About the tasting notes
All the releases were tasted by Georgie Hindle at Joanne in February 2025. Where the wines had already been tasted and scored by the relevant Decanter regional editor, or a commissioned contributor (Michaela Morris for Italy and Jonathan Cristaldi for Napa Valley) those notes have been used. Tasting notes for the Spanish wine Alma 2022 and Chilean wines Laz Pizarras Pinot Noir, Syrah and Chardonnay will be published later this month.
