The Hudin Top 100 – 2025 is out now!
To date, 2025 is a year that saw reviews and coverage of several thousand wines reviewed from Spain, France, California, and Eastern Europe and with the release of this list, it marks the 41st Tasting Report of the year.
There are far too many reports to list here, but some of the most extensive reports of the year were for DOQ Priorat, DOC Rioja, Napa Valley, Collioure-Banyuls, Corpinnat, AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape the entire country of Croatia, and of course, many more.
There were some ground rules that had to be into place for this selection with the first being that the wines needed to have a local retail price of 200€ or less. Why this limit? To us it seemed like the uppermost price someone would pay locally for a very special bottle to enjoy. While consumers in the NYC, SF, London, Hong Kong, Singapore and other well-known wine cities are often willing to pay a good deal more, keep in mind that a 200€ bottle will most definitely be a great deal more once exported to foreign shores.
The final price range for all the wines runs from around 8.50€ to just under 200€, so there’s definitely something for everyone.
This year, the colors of wine are: 58% red, 41% white, and 1% orange with 7% of the wines sparkling.
Please keep in mind that the wines are listed alphabetically by winery name and this does not represent a ranking. In order to view the entire list sorted by scores with access to the full reviews (as well as the thousands of articles and wine reviews on Hudin.com) and local prices, one needs to be a paid subscriber. We will however tell you that the #1 wine this year in terms of scoring was the Ferrer Bobet – Selecció Especial Vinyes Velles 2021. This winery in DOQ Priorat has consistently produced excellent wines, but this wine goes above and beyond to be probably their finest bottle to date.
