Regional trade share
Champagne saw an uptick in trade this week, accounting for 17.4% of the total. Demand for the region was led by Dom Pérignon 2012, which was one of top traded wines this week. The wine has featured heavily on the secondary market this year and was one of the top traded wines by both value and volume in 2022.
Bordeaux also saw a small increase to 36.3%. As noted earlier in the week, the region’s trade share has been rising in December and is currently above its November average .
The ‘Others’ category also rose to 3.9% of the total. This was in part thanks to demand for Spain’s Muga Prado Enea Gran Reserva 2011 and Pingus 2016, along with several vintages of Australia’s Penfolds Grange (2003, 2010 and 2017).
The week’s top traded wines
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche 2019 was the top traded wine by value this week. It last traded at £40,000 per 6×75.
First Growth, Château Margaux 2005 followed in second place. Its last trade price of £7,200 per 12×75 represents an 60% increase on its ex-London release (£4,500 per 12×75).
Another wine from Bordeaux’s 2005 vintage was also among the top traded this week – Le Pin 2005. Liv-ex members received analysis on the estate’s best-value vintages the previous week.
