News — En Primeurs

The Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux (UGCB) has officially confirmed the dates for the highly anticipated En Primeurs Week 2026, the premier event where wine professionals and press gather to taste and evaluate the latest Bordeaux vintage En Primeur.

Collector focus in the Bordeaux market has shifted strongly toward ready-to-drink back-vintages and established, high-scoring "classic" years from the last two decades. This trend is driven by an ongoing pricing disconnect in the En Primeur market and a renewed collector desire for physical, proven assets that are nearing or at their prime drinking window.
