Bordeaux pulled further into the lead, claiming 37.5% of traded value. The 2022 vintage was the top-traded by both value and volume, with Second and Fifth Growths trading more actively than Firsts.
Burgundy came in second with 23.3%, down from a strong close last week at 27.3%. Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, Georges Roumier and Armand Rousseau were the region’s top-traded producers.
The US held strong in third place with Screaming Eagle – both the not-yet-physical 2023 and back vintages – pulling its weight. Dominus and Sine Qua Non also took significant shares of the region’s trade.
Champagne’s share fell slightly to 9.6%. The recently released Dom Perignon P2 2008 held its position as the region’s top traded wine, though it fell short of the overall top five. It is trading consistently around £3,500 per 12×75, double the price of the regular 2008.
Tuscany and Piedmont remained consistent, but relatively subdued, together accounting for 10.4% of traded value. Tignanello pulled ahead of Sassicaia as the country’s top traded wine.
The Rhone’s share of trade rose from 1.5% to 2.5% this week, thanks largely to US buyers, who accounted for over 60% of the region’s trade.
