En Primeurs Week 2027 takes place from Monday 19 to Thursday 22 April. The Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux invites wine professionals to taste the 2026 vintage from barrel. Full programme details are still to come.
What is En Primeurs Week?
Each spring, merchants, critics, sommeliers and buyers from around the world travel to Bordeaux to taste the new vintage before it is bottled. Tastings take place at châteaux and in UGCB sessions, and they shape prices for the en primeur campaign.
How do you get between tastings by chauffeur?
The châteaux are spread across the Médoc, Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, Pessac-Léognan and Sauternes, sometimes an hour or more apart. A professional chauffeur who knows the vineyards plans an efficient route and means nobody in your group needs to drive after a day of tasting.
Planning your week
- Secure château appointments early.
- Group visits by appellation.
- Book hotels in Bordeaux early, as the city is full.
- Allow time for lunches at the châteaux.
