Talking Trade 6th of February: Tuscany overtakes Burgundy by market share, Sassicaia leads
Bordeaux pulled further into the lead, claiming 37.5% of traded value. The 2022 vintage was the top-traded by both value and volume
The latest Talking Trade is now live!
- Though Bordeaux continues to lead, Tuscany displaced Burgundy as the second top-traded region by value.
- Sasssicaia 2021, ahead of the release of 2023 today, was the top-traded wine by value and volume.
- US buying continues to hold at around 22% of purchasing, buyers focusing largely on back vintage Bordeaux.
Bordeaux led the market with a 33.2% share of traded value, down on a strong close last week at 37.5%. Buyers concentrated their efforts on top vintages this week, with the 2016s, 2019s, 2020s and 2022s trading most frequently.
Taking 18.5% of trade, Tuscany pulled ahead of Burgundy as the second top-traded region by value. Sassicaia was by far the top-traded wine, accounting for over half of the region’s trade. Brunello di Montalcino, which has fallen by the wayside with reduced US purchasing, re-entered the fold, Fuligni coming in as Tuscany’s second top-traded producer.
Burgundy followed in third place with a 17.1% share. Buyers tended towards slightly lower value wines in higher volumes, with Domaine de la Tour, Robert Groffier and Comtes Georges de Vogue coming in as the top three producers by trade value.
Champagne claimed 12.6% of trade, up slightly from 9.6% last week. Jacques Selosse 2008 was the top traded wine by value, changing hands between £26,160 and £27,300, a marked increase from its low of £20,064 in April 2024. Recent upward price movement has been confirmed by rising trade frequency.
The US had another strong week (8.5%), again led by Screaming Eagle. Opus One also traded actively, with demand led largely by Europe and the UK.
