BORDEAUX’S 2019 EN PRIMEUR CAMPAIGN LOOKING PROMISING

After several years of price increases, this year’s en primeur campaign for the 2019 Bordeaux wines shows a significant price drop, despite yet another exceptional vintage for the region. “While the decrease in prices seems to be largely due to the turmoil affecting the world’s economy following the COVID-19 outbreak, the Bordeaux wine prices had previously likely reached an unbreakable ceiling,” said Gabriel Geller, Royal Wine’s Director of Public Relations and Manager of Wine Education. “We have a number of exciting kosher cuvées gracefully aging in the barrels, including outstanding wines from top properties in Margaux, Pauillac, and Saint Julien. By the time these wines will be released, we certainly hope that the economy will have largely recovered,” added Geller.
