Bordeaux 2009: 'Slow start' to en primeur campaign
Bordeaux 2009: 'Slow start' to en primeur campaign
Apr 19, 2010 6
As the first Bordeaux 2009 prices begin to appear, trade buyers are complaining of a 'slow start' to the campaign.
Mathieu Chardronnier, managing director of Bordeaux negociants CVBG, told decanter.com that despite a lack of prices, interest in the vintage was 'definitely as high as hoped.' 'It is a slow start, not because of a lack of interest, just because too few wines have been released to really get people excited.' To date, Chateau Le Petit Bocq (€10.50 ex-negociant), Chateau Beaumont (€7.20) and Chateau Fourcas Dupre (€7.95) have released, all at prices higher than 2005.
