- Increased market activity as the trade returns from Bordeaux
- Liv-ex webinar recording available
- Roger Voss releases final Bordeaux 2017 scores
Activity on the market rose by both value and volume this week as the trade returned from tasting the 2017 vintage in Bordeaux. Despite an increase in trade for the First Growths, Bordeaux’s market share dropped this week to 56.7%.
Two Petit Chateaux were released this week: the 2017 vintages of Lanessan and Beaumont were both offered 5% lower than the 2016s. Rumours are also circulating of a significant Pauillac release early next week.
The USA and Italy both traded well thanks to large parcels of Brunello and Screaming Eagle. The ‘others’ category also saw a boost this week as wines from Australia, Argentina, China, South Africa, New Zealand and England all found the bid.
This week’s most active wine was Screaming Eagle 2015. Antonio Galloni described the wine as “a drop-dead gorgeous beauty” and awarded it 98 points. It last traded at £22,800 per 12×75.
However, Carruades Lafite dominated trade. Three vintages of the second wine were among the top traded wines by value.
