- Three Domaine de la Romanee-Conti came out on top wines – Echezeaux 2009, La Tache 2016 and Echezeaux 2006 featured among the top-traded wines by value.
- With the Easter bank holiday falling over the weekend, trade levels dipped significantly. While UK buyers led, they too purchased less this week than last week.
Burgundy overtook Bordeaux to lead the market this week with a 33.1% share of traded value. Domaine de la Romanee-Conti came out on top, with three wines amongst the top five traded value. Domaines Leflaive, Sylvain Cathiard and Jacques-Frederic Mugnier followed.
Bordeaux followed with a 29.8% share of traded value, down on its 34.6% share last week. The 2017, 2015 and 2022 vintages were the top-traded by volume, with Pavie and Margaux pulling ahead of Lafite as the top-traded wines by value.
Champagne’s share rose slightly from 9.5% last week to 10.1% this week. US buyers took the lead, accounting for 42% of the region’s traded value, their efforts largely concentrated on Cristal, La Grande Dame and Comtes de Champagne.
Tuscany and Piedmont claimed a combined 13.4% of traded value. Aggregated across vintages, Sassicaia led, but Giuseppe Rinaldi’s Barolo Brunate 2018 was the country’s top-traded individual wine.
Following a very strong week last week (driven by Screaming Eagle and Opus One trades), the US’s share fell to 4.9%.
