Bordeaux wines dominated the trade last week, accounting for almost half of the regional trade by value, with a higher percentage compared to the previous week. Three of the top-traded wines were from Bordeaux.


Burgundy also experienced a resurgence, representing a significant portion of the trade compared to the previous week. Domaine des Lambrays’ Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru 2020 was among the most active wines, along with Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grand Cru’s 2015 and 2019 vintages.


Champagne’s trade share decreased this week, despite Salon Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Grand Cru 2013, which was released in May, being among the top-traded wines.


Other regions, such as Tuscany and the Rhône, saw a decline in their trade shares compared to the previous week. Piedmont, the USA, and the “Others” category also experienced decreases in their trade shares after a relatively stronger performance in the previous week.
