Bordeaux accounted for 76.5% of total trade by value. This is up from last week, and above May’s average of 66.6%. May’s share was Bordeaux’s lowest month since June 2015 when the region represented 65.5% of market share. Bordeaux activity typically sees a drop during the En Primeur campaign as buyers sit on the sidelines to consider the new vintage.

The First Growths represented 26.4% of total trade. Mouton Rothschild and Haut Brion were the most active for the second week running, representing 24% and 22% respectively.
