Bordeaux, then what?
-
- Liv-ex 100 index
-
- Liv-ex 50 index
The 2020 Bordeaux En Primeur campaign is officially behind us. And while its inconsistent pricing and pacing held the trade’s attention, trade outside Bordeaux remained steady.
Italy and Burgundy took equal parts of the market in June (16.8%) and capped off their best ever first half to a year. The Rhône had a strong month too, with trade by value climbing from 4.2% in May to 4.7% in June, as its secondary market continued its expansion. There was increased activity around English and German wines. German whites from the Mosel (89%), Rheinhessen (9%), Nahe (0.8%) and Rheingau (0.4%) found willing buyers last month.
Fine wine prices rose, with the Liv-ex 100 up 0.76%, pushed by strong performances from Burgundy’s 2015 vintage and Bordeaux’s finest – 2005, 2009 and 2010.
The broadest measure of the market, the Liv-ex 1000 index, also rose 0.9% in June. Its best performing sub-index was the Rhone 100 (1.6%), followed by the Burgundy 150 and the Italy 100, up 1.3% each. The Rest of the World 60 was the only sub-index to decline (-0.7%), partly due to dips across Opus One and Dominus – though Screaming Eagle was the best-performing label overall.
