Bordeaux 2014 wines will begin to enter the market during the next couple of weeks, according to Château Haut-Brion.
Jean-Philippe Delmas, the deputy director of Domaine Clarence Dillon, of which Haut-Brion is a subsidiary, said “It won’t be a late campaign because we do feel that there is an interest in the vintage, but it’s not a 2009 or 2010, and there is a [Bordeaux] Vinexpo so it should be an early campaign.”
Meanwhile, across supermarkets in Europe, 2009 and 2010 Bordeaux wines could jump in price because of a marked improvement through maturation. The president of Domaine Clarence Dillon, Prince Robert of Luxemburg, said “I believe that the 2009s and ‘10s will be significantly higher in price when people come to drink them, than when they bought them; they will have the provenance, the quality and the rarity.”
