Fresh data from analyst and consultancy group Wine Lister suggested Bordeaux 2023 ex-négociant release prices were down 19% on average, compared to the 2022-vintage releases last year, and 7% lower than the 2021-vintage campaign.
Several big names are yet to release, however. Decanter understands that Margaux-based Château Brane-Cantenac 2023 (96pts, Decanter) was also due for release later today.
