Bordeaux 2016: dix ans plus tard, des signes de stabilité et d’opportunités d’achat émergent
Février 2026, Londres – Liv-ex, la place de marché mondiale de référence pour les grands vins, les données de marché et l’analyse, publie une nouvelle étude à la suite des récentes dégustations des Bordeaux 2016. Cette analyse met en lumière la trajectoire du millésime sur le marché mondial des grands vins au cours des dix dernières années, et révèle où les opportunités de valeur commencent à se manifester à nouveau aujourd’hui. Les données Liv ex montrent que sept des dix vins de 2016 les mieux notés par Neal Martin ont enregistré des hausses de prix au cours des six derniers mois.
Sept des dix meilleurs 2016 selon Neal Martin enregistrent des hausses
Même les vins ayant connu des baisses plus marquées au début de l’année 2025, comme Vieux Château Certan et La Mission Haut Brion Rouge, semblent avoir stoppé leur glissement et commencé à se redresser.
Cheval Blanc et Haut-Brion 2016 apparaissent comme des options à moindre risque
Les prix intermédiaires actuels (le point médian entre la meilleure offre d’achat et la meilleure offre de vente sur Liv ex) montrent que 14 des 45 Bordeaux rouges du Bordeaux 500 2016 se situent en dessous de leur prix de sortie ex négociant (prix auquel le vin a été vendu par le négociant), e t 6 sont inférieurs à leurs prix ex château (prix de sortie initial après la campagne de primeur).
Tom Burchfield, Directeur de l’Analyse de Marché, apporte son expertise
”Deux 2016 à surveiller sont Cheval Blanc et Haut Brion. Ils semblent s’être stabilisés et pourraient représenter une option moins risquée.”

Tuscany Underpins Stability in the Italy 100 as Trade Focuses on Leading Wines
Before all wine news switches focus to Bordeaux En Primeur, Liv-ex reports on the resilience of the top 100 Italian wines traded on its Exchange. Amidst a declining fine…
Tuscany’s top and tail – which wines have buyers flocked to?
Before all wine news switches focus to Bordeaux En Primeur, Liv-ex reports on the resilience of the top 100 Italian wines traded on its Exchange. Amidst a declining fine wine market, which wines have remained resilient and which have a declining trade?
The Italy 100’s has remained fairly stable amidst the broader market’s three-year decline. This stability has been precipitated by the index’s Tuscan components; the Piedmontese, generally pricier and rarer, have fallen more sharply. Positive price performance of these wines has been backed by solid trade – Tuscany’s share of the market has grown as its representative index has stabilised. The dip at the peak of the market was not driven by a decline in purchasing of Tuscan wines, but rather by increased spending on (what was at the time) very high value Burgundy.
Though spared from the worst of the downturn, the Italy 100 has not been exempted from recovery. Of the index’s Tuscan components, Masseto has taken the lead, the 2020, 2022, 2016 and 2014 all up over 5% year to date. Of these, the 2020’s mid price (mid point between highest offer and lowest bid on a given wine) has risen most sharply, but the 2016 is better-backed with trade.
The tail end
Though we have seen Tuscany’s heavy hitters thrive, how have the rest fared? Super Tuscans may have succeeded in developing international brand image, and trade levels remained stable through the downturn and US tariffs, but the tail end has suffered more greatly.
157 Tuscan wines (multiple vintages of each) have changed hands so far this year. Despite this, 9 wines comprise over 80% of the region’s traded value. This has narrowed since last year – of the 282 Tuscan wines traded, 21 comprised 80% of the value. In 2024, 24 wines rose into this category.
In the early 2000s, it was not uncommon for the key Super Tuscans to comprise 100% of Tuscan trade. The share of the five Super Tuscan Italy 100 components (Soldera Case Basse not included) fell between 2013 and 2021, ceding ground to a wider pool of the region’s wines.

This week in wine: Trade levels down overall; US buyers holding strongest
US buyers held strong, their share of purchasing overtaking that of the UK.
The latest Talking Trade is now live!
- Bordeaux led the market, followed by Burgundy and Champagne.
- Armand de Brignac’s Ace of Spades Gold Brut was the top-traded wine of the week by value, buyers concentrated in Asia. Opus One 2021 and D’Auvenay Bonnes Mares 2010 followed.
- With bank holidays in the UK and Europe and the start of the 2025 Bordeaux En Primeur campaign causing some distraction, trade levels were lower this week than last week. US buyers held strong, their share of purchasing overtaking that of the UK.
Bordeaux again led the market, claiming a 28.9% share of traded value. Le Pin 2023 was the region’s top-traded wine by value, changing hand at £19,912/$27,279 per 12×75 / €1,941 per bottle. The 2023s do now appear to be trading actively, coming in as Bordeaux’s second top-traded vintage after the 2017 this week.
Burgundy followed in second place, its share decreasing slightly from 20.1% last week to 18.5% this week.
Champagne placed third with a 14.8% share. Armand de Brignac was the top traded producer, with buying concentrated in Asia. Salon followed, its buying split evenly between the UK and US.
The Rhone had another strong week, maintaining a 5.5% share of the market. While E. Guigal was the region’s top-traded producer by value, wines from Famille Perrin and Clos des Papes traded most frequently.
Despite falling slightly on last week, Tuscany remained strong above its April share. Higher volume trades of Tignanello buoyed the region, accounting for close to a quarter of its traded value. Tuscany also saw a solid amount of US-backed Brunello buying.
The US took a 5.8% share of traded value, thanks largely to Opus One.

Tom Burchfield, Head of Market Intelligence at Liv-ex, joins Sarah Kemp on Wine Conversation to discuss the state of the broader fine wine market – and what it will take to make this year’s En Primeur campaign a success.
“It looks like demand for Bordeaux is elastic but there is a certain price point at which demand is unlocked. For vintages like 2021, demand was unlocked well below ex-château pricing,” Tom Burchfield says.
