- Bordeaux and Burgundy continued to lead the market, with Champagne gaining back some strength and the USA faring well.
- The 2000 and 2015 vintages of Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Opus One 2021 and Carmes Haut-Brion 2021 were amongst the top five wines by traded value.
- The May Market Report is now available to read for members on advanced-level packages. This week, Liv-ex published release analyses for 25 Bordeaux En Primeur wines. These are now available for all members to read here. Members were also sent a Market Update on the resilience of demand for Burgundy over the past two years.
After successive weeks of weakening trade – a product of tariffs, En Primeur and holidays — traded value increased this week, up 37.1% on last week.
Bordeaux strengthened its lead of the market, taking a 37.7% share of traded value, up on its close last week with 31.6%. The 2021 vintage – which looks, for many wines, to be well-priced relatively to quality – has continued to trade actively, accounting for 26.1% of the region’s traded volume this week.
Burgundy continues to hold steady around the 20-25% mark, taking a 22.4% share this week. Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, Domaine Leroy and Domaine Leflaive were the region’s top-traded producers, each taking a c.10% share of purchased value.
Champagne’s standing in the market improved slightly, up from 9.3% last week to 11.3% this week. While Dom Perignon and Pol Roger (various cuvees) traded more frequently, the region also benefitted from high-value trades of Jacques Selosse.
While Tuscany’s share of the market fell to 8.8%, Soldera Case Basse traded more actively than usual, accounting for 26.9% of the region’s traded value.
The US had a strong week, taking 8.7% of traded value. Opus One (the 2021 vintage of which appeared amongst the week’s top-traded wines) led the market, but this week also saw less-often traded wines change hands – assortment cases of Bond, Quintessa and Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon.
