Liv-ex Claret Chip
The Liv-ex Claret Chip Index edged lower last week amid further Bordeaux price falls. The index closed at 355.32 on Friday – down 2.74 points, or -0.76 per cent, on the previous week.

After showing considerable weakness earlier this month, Lafite 2000 regained its footing and climbed 3.05 per cent to £16,900 per case. Margaux 2003 also made a small recovery and rose from £4,950 to £5,075. First Growth losses, however, outweighed the gains, with Latour 2008 and Mouton 1998 dropping 9.08 per cent and 7.79 per cent respectively.

The week's top risers and fallers are shown in the table below.
