- Bordeaux’s lead of the market weakened slightly while Champagne took a larger share than last week.
- Opus One 2021, Petrus 2017 and Dom Pérignon 2012 were the top-traded wines of the week by value.
- This week, Liv-ex published release analyses for 26 Bordeaux En Primeur wines (for members on Advanced level packages) including Haut-Brion, Mission Haut-Brion, Troplong Mondot, Phelan Segur, Ausone, Figeac, Leoville Las Cases and Pavie. These are now available for all members to read here. Members on Advanced packages were also sent a deep dive on Harlan Estate, including a technical analysis of its index.
Though remaining well in the lead, Bordeaux’s share of traded value fell slightly from 37.7% last week to 36.2% this week. Petrus was by far the region’s top-traded brand, taking close to a fifth of its traded value. By volume, Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande took first place, and by frequency of trade, Vieux Château Certan.
Burgundy maintained in second place with a 22.7% share of traded value. Thanks to several higher volume trades, Domaine Ponsot joined Domaine de la Romanee-Conti and Domaine Bonneau du Martray as the region’s top-traded producers.
Champagne had a stronger week, up from an 11.3% share last week to 12.3% this week. Dom Pérignon 2012 and Ruinart Brut NV both featured amongst the week’s top-traded wines by volume. Salon 2006 was the region’s third top-traded wine. Since July 2024, it has traded, though infrequently, very consistently around the £7,800 per 12×75 mark.
Tuscany and Piedmont both saw slight declines in market share, though the regions’ larger names – Tignanello, Sassicaia, Bruna Giacosa and Giacomo Conterno – continued to trade actively.
The US’s trade share slipped slightly to 8.1%, though remained well above its April share of 6.0%. Opus One was by far the top-traded brand, across vintages accounting for over half of the region’s traded value.
