Our latest report, Bordeaux 2019: the value of time, has been published (in English, French and German). The report contains 25 pages of in-depth analysis and examines the Bordeaux market in light of the recently announced En Primeur postponement.
Key findings:
- Covid-19 disrupts the wine trade calendar and Bordeaux En Primeur tastings
- The Bordeaux 500 index has fallen 3.6% over the past year, while the region now accounts for 51% of the trade by value
- The First Growths attract the greatest liquidity, but the Second Wines lead the price performance category
- Lower supply chain profit margins lead to waning interest in buying En Primeur, while stock builds up in Bordeaux
- Harvest reports and satellite technology indicate that the 2019 vintage is abundant and “very good to excellent” in quality, particularly across the top appellations
