Prices have continued to drop year-on-year, albeit the 2022 vintage was relatively expensive on release at some estates.

The latest releases emerge as Decanter publishes more than 550 tasting notes and ratings for a wide range of Bordeaux 2023 wines at all price-points.

All were tasted by Georgie Hindle and Panos Kakaviatos as part of this year’s comprehensive en primeur coverage, which has already seen the early publication of top-scoring Bordeaux 2023 wines.
