- Our coverage of 2024 En Primeur campaign continued this week with release analysis of Château Lafite Rothschild, Carruades de Lafite, Duhart-Milon, Gruaud Larose, Angelus and Suduiraut – now available to read for all members. Liv-ex members were also sent reports on Jane Anson and Antonio Galloni’s scores for the vintage.
Bordeaux’s share of traded value fell from 41.2% last week to 35.8% this week. Nevertheless, it remains the top-traded region by a good stretch. The 2016 and 2005 vintages were the top traded by value, though the 2019 and 2021 vintages traded in higher volumes.
Champagne and Tuscany, the regions worst affected by tariff uncertainty in March and April, have continued to recover this week, taking a 12.3% and 11.7% share of the market respectively. Both regions saw entrants into the top-traded wines of the week by value, with Dom Pérignon 2013 and Sassicaia 2022 in first and second place.
The US took a 5.3% share of traded value, down on last week’s close at 7.4%. US buyers accounted for over half of the region’s purchased value. Harlan, Stag’s Leap and Promontory were the top-traded producers.
Burgundy has held steady with a c.25% share of the market over the past month. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti was the top-traded producer, with several mature vintages changing hands in OWCs (relatively flat on early 2021 trade prices).
