While trade for physical Bordeaux 2018 is now greater than that seen during the en primeur period, buyers’ focus remains on the standout 2016, 2015 and 2009 vintages, Liv-ex said.
With Chinese Lunar New Year imminent on Feb. 12, the Year of the Ox is about to start. Since the Zodiac calendar runs on a 12-year cycle, the last Year of the Ox was 2009, boosting interest in that vintage.
The top Bordeaux wines traded by value during the week ended Feb. 4 were Chateau Margaux 2018, at 4,708 pounds ($6,467) per 12-bottle case in bond, and Chateau Valandraud 2016, a Saint Emilion grand cru, at 1,146 pounds a case, Liv-ex said.
