Feeling all positive about Bordeaux again this morning (must be the sunshine aswell).
Two more big name estates come out with price drops - La Conseillante down 20% from last year and Brane Cantenac down 16%
From the lovely Corinne at Brane: 'Henri truly made a very special effort for the customers and mostly for the export customers. Here is a copy of what Barrière (Freres negociants) sent out to all their customers as I think it reflects the importance of this decision, the respect of the market and the necessity to listen to its warning signals....'
From Barrière Freres Web site!
Here’s a real smart release !! Finally an estate which has heard the sounds of the market :
Ch Brane Cantenac 2007 22.50 €/b (price -14% vs. 2006 & lowest price for older vintages is in the 27 to 28 €/b range)
Volumes are generally much lower vs. 2006. Nonetheless, congratulations Henri Lurton for having looked at YOUR market and I am sure that this release will continue to re-enforce the market’s appreciation of your brand in the short and medium-term !!'
Besides these two properties, I did a price roundup for Decanter yesterday, here is the link:
