News — Mature Bordeaux Vintages

The global fine wine market is showing concrete signs of a recovery, with the Liv-ex Fine Wine 100 Index posting its first monthly gain in over a year during September 2025. This stabilization follows a prolonged correction and is underpinned by returning confidence, attractive pricing, and a significantly improved buyer-to-seller ratio. The data suggests classic, blue-chip collectible wines from major regions are once again attracting significant cross-regional demand.

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.
