With the releases of the 2025 Bordeaux vintage underway, back vintages traded actively this week, bringing the region’s share of traded value up to 37.9%. 2009s took the spotlight, Petrus and Le Pin amongst the top five overall.
Burgundy took a 19.4% share, up slightly on last week. Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, generally amongst the region’s top producers, saw little demand this week. Instead, buyers opted for Armand Rousseau, Millemann and Roulot.
With Screaming Eagle the top-traded producer overall, the US’s share rose from 5.8% last week to 11.1% this week, claiming third place. Opus One and Dominus followed as the region’s second and third top-traded producers.
Tuscany came in fourth place with 8.8%, down on its close at 14.2% last week. While Sassicaia was the top traded wine across vintages, Brunello di Montalcino proved more popular than Super Tuscans, claiming over half of the region’s trade.
Champagne had a slow week, its share falling from 14.8% to 8.7%. US buyers accounted for close to half of the region’s purchasing, their focus on Dom Perignon, Salon and Philipponnat.
