Welcome to the April 2016 Liv-ex newsletter
With just a few days until the UGC tasting in Bordeaux, thoughts are very much turning towards the 2015 vintage. Take a look at the En Primeur pages either on the Liv-ex site or the Liv-ex blog for the latest critic scores, prices and news, which we will be updating throughout the campaign. We will be tweeting release prices (using #bdx15) and analysing the latest releases on our blog.We will also be emailing out our 14th annual EP survey on your return from Bordeaux, and would love to know what you think. It should only take a couple of minutes to complete and always provides a fascinating insight into the nature of the vintage – please look out for it.

The book includes an overview of the performance of Bordeaux wines in the international market, the price evolution of the last ten EP campaigns, the market outlook for the 2015 vintage and analysis of the performance of 70 leading Bordeaux chateaux. All books have been posted out, so your copy should be with you soon. If you have any questions or feedback, please contact your Exchange Manager.
