En Primeur Bordeaux 2012

Welcome to En Primeur 2012. This vintage is being called one of the most variable and difficult to judge in quite a long time. With rain in spring, heatwaves in summer and then more rain towards harvest in many cases, the 2012 vintage has been described as being "all over the place". On the positive side, there is considerable excitement about the wines of the Right Bank, in particular Pomerol and St Emilion. Many of the dry white wines of 2012 are also looking very impressive indeed. Not so, unfortunately, for the sweeter wines of Sauternes and Barsac which have not especially distinguished themselves in 2012. However, there is hope in the air that prices will come back significantly this year, perhaps by as much as 25%. The other merciful news is that it is expected to be a quick campaign. Hooray! No dawdling this year with Chateaux drip feeding us releases for weeks and weeks on end. We should be done and dusted by lunchtime.
