The 2009 vintage of its second wine Carruades de Lafite also featured in the top five, according to Liv-ex, while other heavily traded wines included Petrus 2006 and Chateau Pontet Canet 2012. In the thinner pre-Christmas trading, Bordeaux's market share rebounded to 73 percent, its highest for two months, driven mainly by right-bank wines including Petrus and Le Pin, according to Liv-ex.
