Most of the major names in Bordeaux 2014 have now released their wine in a campaign that continues to be mixed and has been called 'stop-start' by some merchants.
A flurry of Bordeaux 2014 releases early in the week has seen several key estates increase prices by between 15% and 25% on the 2013 vintage, with some merchants concerned about the small quantities of wine available.
Chateau Rauzan-Segla's release of its Bordeaux 2014 wine has been welcomed by several merchants, but the en primeur campaign as a whole has still struggled to hit top gear.
Chateau Lafite Rothschild has released its Bordeaux 2014 wine at an approximate price of 285 euros per bottle ex-Bordeaux, which makes it the same price as last year and around 14% lower than 2012, so the cheapest on the market excepting the 2013 vintage.
