Bordeaux once again topped the trading tables last week, accounting for 32.5% of total market value. That’s a slight uptick from last week’s 29.8%, with Château Lafite Rothschild and Petrus tied as the region’s most active names – each responsible for 15% of Bordeaux trade.
Burgundy, meanwhile, bounced back after a softer close the week before last. Its share climbed from 13.3% to 25.0% of traded value, with Domaine Roulot leading the charge. The producer’s 2023 Meursault and Bourgogne Blanc not only featured in the week’s top-traded wines, but they also claimed the top two spots outright.
Tuscany also maintained momentum, driven largely by Sassicaia. Masseto 2022, released via La Place de Bordeaux just the week before last as well, saw its first secondary-market action.
Champagne followed in third place with a 12.5% market share. Salon was the clear standout here, accounting for more than a third of the region’s activity. The Oenotheque Assortment Case proved especially popular with buyers.
The US, by contrast, lost ground, slipping to just 4.7% of total trade. Interest was focused on back vintages, particularly 2013 and 2015.
Buyer geography
European buyers remain the market’s anchor, though their 40% share dipped slightly as both UK and Asian demand picked up. UK and European activity skewed heavily toward Bordeaux, while Asian buyers leaned firmly into Burgundy.
US buyers stepped back, claiming just 12.9% of total purchasing value. Their top choice this week was Comtes de Champagne, with the 2012 and 2013 vintages leading the way.
