Rare wine has fascinated investors for centuries. Lifelong experience in this field is of great importance. Investing in wine is very complex, but done right, it can prove to be a very lucrative business. Over the past three decades, fine wine has demonstrated itself to be one of the top-performing assets, achieving a remarkable compound annual growth rate of 10%. 
Prices for rare wines have increased by over 100% in recent years. This demand is expected to increase even further as more wine lovers develop in the Asian region. The global wine market was valued at USD 339.53 Billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 456.76 Billion by 2028. 
 
Corked wine continues to mature after bottling and benefits from an additional price increase over time due to a higher intrinsic value. 
 
Putting a Rare Wine portfolio together is a journey that never really ends. However, what the right composition should look like is just the beginning. It is important to stay informed about the latest trends in order to make appropriate sales and additions to our selection. 
 
Key factors for wine as an investment: 
 
Region 
Choosing the right portfolio mix is similar to choosing on the stock market. We should avoid putting all our eggs in one basket and therefore diversify our portfolio across different wine regions. To this end, we should always keep a few classics from regions such as Piedmont, Tuscany, Bordeaux and Champagne in the portfolio. But it is also important to diversify not only across regions but also across countries and to include wines from Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and Austria, for example. 
 
Quality 
The first step towards success has been taken with the selection of wine regions for our portfolio. Now comes the main part of the research. Not every producer within these selected regions maintains the same quality standards. It is estimated that only 0.1% of the world's wine production reaches investment quality. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to select award-winning wines from top producers. 
 
Storage 
It is not enough to store carefully selected wines in an ordinary cellar if you expect serious returns. The importance of professional storage of wine is the key requirement to obtain world-renowned quality labels. Many auction houses won't even accept the wine if they feel that the storage requirements have not been met.

Why Investing in Coche-Dury Meursault? 
Prestigious Reputation and Collectible White Wines 
Coche-Dury, situated in Meursault, Burgundy, is a highly esteemed producer renowned for crafting exceptional white wines from Chardonnay. While they do produce red wines from Pinot Noir, their Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has consistently ranked among the top 100 most expensive wines on Wine-Searcher, making them a sought-after choice for collectors. 
For several years now, the wines from the winery have been gaining increasing attention from leading wine critics. As a result, the finest vintages have already seen five-year value increases ranging from 150% to 500%. 
 
Family Heritage and Expanded Vineyard Holdings 
Founded in 1973 through the union of Jean-François Coche and Odile Dury, the Coche-Dury Domaine has a rich family history in winemaking in Meursault. The estate has expanded its vineyard holdings beyond Meursault to Puligny-Montrachet, Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie, Volnay, and the Corton Grand Cru vineyard. Currently, they manage just over nine hectares, with Meursault accounting for about half of the total area. The winery produces only about 3,500 cases across six different wines. Sealed cases are therefore extremely rare and valuable. 
 
Exclusive Grand Cru and Premier Cru Offerings 
Coche-Dury's prestige extends to its exclusive Grand Cru offering, the Corton-Charlemagne. However, the domaine's significance is also evident in its Premier Cru wines from Meursault's Les Charmes and Les Perrières vineyards, ranking among the priciest wines in the Côte de Beaune. The Coche-Dury Meursault holds a place among the most coveted wines in the region. 
 
Traditional Vinification Practices 
Remaining committed to tradition, Coche-Dury employs traditional vinification methods. The white wines undergo an aging process of up to 22 months in barrels, with a preference for minimal use of new oak, except for their highest-quality wines. This approach contributes to the distinctive character and quality of Coche-Dury wines. 
 
Passing the Legacy - New Leadership Since 2010 
In a transition of generational leadership, Jean-François Coche handed over the day-to-day operations of the estate to his son and daughter-in-law, Raphaël and Charline, in 2010. This succession ensures the continuation of Coche-Dury's legacy, blending expertise with a fresh perspective to maintain the domaine's high standards and reputation.
