- Lafleur 2014 most active wine
- Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage Chapelle 2017 and Promontory 2013 released
- Liv-ex March Market Report
In the first week of March activity went up by both value and volume. Still, Bordeaux’s trade share by value dipped to 53.8%. The Liv-ex 50, which tracks the price performance of the First Growths, fell by 0.1%. The broader Fine Wine indices, the Liv-ex 100 and Liv-ex 1000, also finished February with small declines.
Burgundy and Italy pulled back to 11.6% and 8.4% respectively, while Champagne’s trade share rose to 15.5% – a recent high. It was helped by solid trading of Bollinger, Krug and Louis Roederer.
The USA also improved, driven by a very active Promontory and its newly released vintage. The “spectacular” 2013 (RP 99) was released earlier this week at £6,360 per 12×75.
Lafleur 2014 led Bordeaux trade this week and traded at £4,908 per 12×75, up 41% on its release price. It was followed by Le Pin 2015, with a last trade at £32,376, which represents an increase of 80% since release.
Two 2009 vintages were also very active – Mouton Rothschild and Pichon Baron. As part of a series on Bordeaux ten years on, you can read our analysis on their price variations since release here.
