Though its share of traded value fell week-on-week, Bordeaux continued to lead the market, accounting for 29.8% of traded value. Chateau Pavie, Chateau Mouton Rothschild and Petrus were the region’s top-traded wines.
Salon was the overall top-traded producer of the week, leading Champagne into second place with a 19.0% share of the market. The 2002 was the top-traded Salon vintage. In a recent market update, we highlighted the investment potential of Salon as individual vintages return to their long term trendlines and momentum begins to pick up. The 2002 provides a strong example of this scenario.
Tuscany had a strong week, with the 2021 vintages of both Solaia and Sassicaia featuring amongst the top-traded wines of the week by value. Together, across wines and vintages, San Guido and Antinori accounted for over 80% of the region’s trade.
Spain’s share of the market increased from 0.2% last week to 6.4% this week. Though Vega Sicilia (across cuvees) accounts for over half of the region’s traded value, Dominio de Pingus and Marques de Murrieta’s Castillo Ygay also traded actively.
The USA took 6.6% of trade, led by Screaming Eagle, Promontory and Opus One.
