Mouton Rothschild (2005, 2008, 2010, 2015, 2018) Headlines Bordeaux’s Strongest Gains
Bordeaux had more top performing wines than any other region over the past year, thanks to its strong liquidity. Mouton Rothschild 2015 delivered a strong performance, trading close its 2020 trade prices, with the bulk of its upward trend occurring in late 2025.
Lafite 2015 Continues Its Upward Price Trend
Lafite 2015 is currently trading at its 2020 price levels. A tight trading spread and consistent upward momentum suggest the potential for continued price appreciation.
Pol Roger Reserve and Jacques Selosse Initial Among Top-Performing Wines of the Past Year
Non-vintage Champagnes have delivered some of the market’s strongest price gains over the past year. Pol Roger Reserve Brut increased from an average trade price of £284 in Q2 2025 to £294 in Q2 2026, while Jacques Selosse Initial rose from £3,264 to £3,569.
Sophia Gilmour, Market Analyst, provides expert commentary:
”Some likely have further yet to fall; others appear to have found their floors and are now tracking gently upwards. For buyers looking for safer moments to capitalise on the current market, wines that have shown evidence of reaching their floors may be the right place to start.”
