She added, ‘This is luscious, think Le Pin rather than Petrus if you are comparing to a Pomerol.’ Opus One 2017Ĭalifornia’s Opus One was released at €215 per bottle ex-Bordeaux, down 4% on the 2016 release price, said Liv-ex. Wine Lister pointed out that the 2017 vintage was priced ‘17% and 10% below current market prices of the last two vintages – 20 – respectively’.ĭecanter’s Jane Anson gave the wine 97 points, saying that it took the extreme heat of the vintage in its stride. Thomas Parker MW, buyer at Farr Vintners, said, ‘We expect Masseto to sell out to regular buyers.’ Masseto has a strong reputation on the market and its 2017 was launched at €380 per bottle in bond ex-Bordeaux.įewer cases were reported to have been released versus last year and Fine & Rare was selling the wine in three-bottle lots, for £1,450 in bond, citing ‘extremely limited availability’. ‘While there have been some reductions, they have not been enough to generate anything like the same level of excitement.’īut, he added, ‘Having said that, top-scoring wines have seen good uptake and the likes of Masseto remain massively over-subscribed’. Gavin Smith, head of fine wine at UK merchant Fine & Rare, told on Tuesday (8 September), ‘With the current economic climate due to the Covid outbreak, we were hoping producers would follow the same path taken by the Bordeaux châteaux during the 2019 en primeur campaign earlier this summer, whose 20-30% price reductions proved very popular and generated real engagement and interest. There has so far been a mixed reaction to other releases via the Place de Bordeaux, which have encompassed fine wines from around the world.
UK merchants initially sold Latour 2012 for the equivalent of around £4,200 per six bottles in bond. The 2012, rated 97 points by Anson, was released for the first time in May this year and is ‘currently the cheapest available on the market’, Liv-ex said. One alternative for buyers could be Latour 2012, said Liv-ex, which describes itself as the global marketplace for the wine trade. It’s the first new batch of 2009 since Latour’s initial en primeur release in spring 2010, and the higher price is partly intended to reflect the extra value placed on ‘ex-château’ stocks – considered the gold standard in terms of storage conditions and provenance guarantees. ‘ release comes at an average 10% premium to existing Latour 2009 stock on the UK market,’ said analyst group Wine Lister. International merchants were selling the wine for the equivalent of £10,300 per 12-bottle case.
