These 5 wineries to watch in 2025
In the exciting world of wine, some wineries stand out for their extraordinary potential. As wine-lovers, we’ve had the privilege of examining these wine gems that promise to shine even brighter in the near future. Here’s our pick of the five wineries that industry experts predict will see a meteoric rise in value in 2025.
The emergence of promising talents in Burgundy
Burgundy, the land of great wines par excellence, continues to surprise us with the emergence of new talents. Among them, Domaine Alvina Pernot in Puligny-Montrachet and Domaine Camille Thiriet in Côte de Nuits stand out in particular.
Alvina Pernot, granddaughter of the famous winemaker Paul Pernot, launched her own label in 2018. With her husband Philippe Abadie, they have developed a modern approach to winemaking, characterized by:
- Early harvests
- Gentle and gradual pressing
- Reduced use of new oak
The result? Chardonnays with a slender, taut and mineral expression that are already captivating enlightened connoisseurs.
For her part, Camille Thiriet and her partner Matt Chittick created their estate in 2016. Under the mentorship of Bernard Noblet, former oenologist of the prestigious Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, they practice gentle plot-by-plot vinification. Their approach, based on infusion and light pumping over, gives rise to wines of remarkable finesse, already praised by renowned critics such as Jancis Robinson.
A promising revival in Saint-Estèphe
In the Bordeaux region, Château Tronquoy in Saint-Estèphe stands out as a real gem to watch. Since its acquisition by the Bouygues family in 2006, this estate has benefited from considerable investment, both in the vineyards and in the cellars. These efforts have resulted in the production of wines of exceptional quality, combining elegance and aromatic richness.
In 2022, the château adopted a new, more refined and modern visual identity, perfectly reflecting the qualitative evolution of its wines. Located in the heart of the most prestigious properties in Saint-Estèphe, Château Tronquoy offers remarkable value for money that should not remain a secret for long.
Spanish innovation at the service of the land
Spain's wine industry also has some nice surprises in store for us with the Envínate estate. Founded in 2008 by four winemaker friends, this innovative project spans several Spanish regions, from the Ribeira Sacra to the island of Tenerife. Their approach, focused on promoting indigenous grape varieties and old vines, gives rise to wines of striking purity and authenticity.
Unlike some Spanish wines that are sometimes criticized for their woody or over-extracted side, Envínate's vintages stand out for their faithful expression of the terroir. This approach, in line with the current expectations of lovers of authentic wines, positions Envínate as a key player in the Spanish viticulture of tomorrow.
The rebirth of a Tuscan jewel
In Italy, Isole e Olena in Chianti Classico is about to write a new chapter in its history. After 45 years under the visionary leadership of Paolo De Marchi, the estate was recently acquired by the EPI Group. This transition promises to give new impetus to this property already renowned for its famous "super tuscan" Cepparello.
Under the leadership of Emanuele Reolon and with Paolo De Marchi retaining his role as oenologist, Isole e Olena now benefits from the resources and expertise of the Biondi-Santi ownership group. This synergy suggests a bright future for this iconic Tuscan estate.
As enthusiasts always on the lookout for new wine gems, we are convinced that these five estates deserve special attention. Their potential for valuation for 2025 reflects not only the exceptional quality of their wines, but also their ability to innovate while respecting their terroir. Let us not forget that the adoption of revolutionary methods by certain famous estates can also contribute to this positive dynamic in the world of wine.
Here is a summary table of the areas to watch:
| Domain | Name | Special feature |
|---|---|---|
| Alvina Pernot | Puligny-Montrachet | Modern approach to Chardonnay |
| Camille Thiriet | Coast of Nights | Plot-based vinification inspired by Romanée-Conti |
| Tronquoy Castle | Saint-Estephe | Major investments and qualitative renewal |
