Burgundy's market share rose to 18 percent while trading in wines from Italy and the Rhone fell to 6 percent and 3 percent respectively, according to Liv-ex. Among Bordeaux 2015 wines, Chateau Lafite Rothschild was the most active by value, followed by Petit Mouton and Carruades Lafite, respectively the second wines of Chateau Mouton Rothschild and Lafite, it said. Chateau Margaux continued to find buyers, trading at 11,900 pounds ($16,530) per 12-bottle case.
