This morning has seen the Right Bank start to releases wines more rapidly now that the majority of Left Bank wines have appeared onto the market. Chateau Figeac started proceedings with a release price of €60 per bottle, up 25% on 2013 and 2012 resulting in a London merchant price of £575. Whilst this is [...]

With the releases appearing thick and fast throughout the week we thought it best to show a summary round up of last weeks 2014 newest releases. Highlights of the week were the release of the remaining First Growths Chateau Lafite at £2,800 per dozen (if you could get hold of a first tranche release), Chateau [...]

This morning sees the release of Chateau D’Issan at €30 per bottle ex Negoce, up 13% on 2013 and 7% on the 2012. This results in an attractive price of £295 per dozen in London as it sees it as one of the cheapest vintages available. However with the 2012 just re-rated by Robert Parker [...]

It looks as though it will be a week of crammed releases rather than a steady flow, but that may well be a good thing. Cos [...]

A late afternoon release yesterday from Chateau Lynch Bages which appears to have been well received by the market overnight with some UK merchants stating low stocks remaining already. Released at €60 per bottle ex Negoce, up 20% on the 2013 and the same price as the 2012, this translates to a London release price of [...]

Back to the left Bank this afternoon as we see the release of Chateau Palmer and its second wine Alter Ego. With prices rising steadily over the past few years this was a wine that was always unlikely to offer a huge reduction in price for the 2014 vintage. The Grand Vin released at a [...]
