Bordeaux Royalty

"Bordeaux is perhaps the most prestigious wine region globally, and for many years was the only region considered to produce truly 'investment grade' wine. Despite a boom in the wine markets over the past thirty years, Bordeaux still represents around 40% of wine traded on the secondary market, meaning that this region should form the cornerstone for any investment portfolio.

Often regarded as "over priced", a pull back in the wine markets in 2023 means that Bordeaux now represents exceptional value. This 'Bordeaux Royalty' collection allows investors to gain access to a diversified selection of iconic Bordeaux producers like Chateaux Lafite, Latour, Le Pin and Petrus, at a fraction of the cost of owning the wines outright" - Callum Woodcock, Expert at WineFi

Why Investing in the Bordeaux Royalty portfolio?
About Bordeaux
Bordeaux is the most prestigious wine region in existence. Until relatively recently, it was the only region considered truly ‘investment-grade’.
Whilst the wine market has expanded dramatically in the last thirty years, Bordeaux still makes up ~40% of secondary market trading volumes, meaning it should always form the cornerstone of any wine portfolio.
Known informally as ‘claret’, red wines from Bordeaux are known for their quality and ageability – essential characteristics in any investment-grade wine. In addition, the Chateaux included in this collection have timeless ‘brand equity’.
These factors led to Bordeaux sparking the ‘Asian Wine Boom’, that has led to an explosion of interest in fine wine from the Chinese market from 2005.
In 2023, Liv-ex Bordeaux 500 markets fell nearly 15%. As a result, this region represents exceptional value to investors looking to enter the wine markets.
The wines in this collection are highly sought after by collectors, and represent exceptional value in a soft market.

Château Lafite-Rothschild
Château Lafite-Rothschild is perhaps the most prestigious wine producer in existence, a title rivalled only by the best known names in Champagne and Burgundy.
One of just five ‘First Growth’ chateaux under the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, alongside Chateaux Latour, Haut-Brion, Margaux and, more recently, Mouton, Lafite-Rothschild has long been synonymous with luxury, being a favourite of the French Royal court.
Both the 2015 and 2016 vintages included in this portfolio are considered ‘Excellent’, bordering on ‘Legendary’ and these wines have decades of price appreciation ahead of them.

Château Petrus
Château Petrus is a small wine estate in the iconic AOC of Pomerol, comprising just 11.4 hectares. The prestige of this estate comes not just from the quality of the wine it produces, and the fact it produces no ‘second’ wine.
Such is this prestige that Château Petrus is believed to hold the dubious title of being the most forged wine in the world, Whilst the assets in this collection have perfect provenance, the fact that it is so frequently counterfeited speaks volumes to its status and prestige.
We are pleased to be able to offer a large format bottle of the 2007 vintage, which often commands a premium at sale due to its ‘crowd pleasing’ characteristics. This collection also contains two bottles of the excellent 2018 vintage, which achieved a rare 100/100 points from Wine Advocate.

Château Angelus
Chateau Angelus was one oft he first to capitalise on rising interest in Bordeaux from China and elsewhere in Asia. In part, some of their success in China was thanks to their logo, which shows a golden bell – referred to as ‘Kin Chung’ in China.
The 2015 was an Excellent vintage, and we are pleased to be able to offer this wine in magnum format. The 2021 vintage, also included in this collection, achieved strong critic scores and has plenty of aging potential ahead.

Château Canon
Chateau Canon hails from the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru appelation, which produces wines under slightly tighter restrictions than other appelations to ensure quality.
The 2020 vintage is considered Excellent, bordering on legendary, and this wine achieved a rare 100/100 critic score from Wine Advocate.
Significantly, this wine is also priced at a low enough price point that it is consumed more regularly than some other wines in this portfolio. This leads to an accelerating declining supply-side, and an equivalent rise in supply.
A young Bordeaux wine, this has plenty of aging potential ahead of it.

Château Cheval Blanc
Located in St-Emilion, the “Chateau of the White Horse” is one of the most famous of Bordeaux, having gained its first medal at the 1862 Universal Exhibition in London.
Since then, it has gone on to achieve a reputation and price point comparable to the “First Growth” estates.
The 2015 vintage was excellent, and this wine achieved a rare 100/100 critic scores in Wine Advocate.

Château Figeac
Chateau Figeac is a highly regarded wine estate in Saint-Emilion, on the so-called right bank of the Dordogne river.
The 2016 vintage in Saint-Emilion was excellent, and this wine achieved critic scores of 97+ from Wine Advocate.

Château Latour
Alongside Chateaux Lafite, Mouton, Haut-Brion and Margaux, Chateau Latour is an iconic ‘First Growth’ producer, and one oft he most famous wine producers in existence.
Situated in the South-East corner of Pauillac, this estate has recently gained infamy amongst wine investors for cellaring their own wines for a decade prior to release.
The 2005 vintage, which we are glad to be able to offer within this collection, is regarded as ‘Legendary’. Often known as the ‘vintage of the century’, 2005 was the original Bordeaux vintage that sparked Chinese passion for fine wine. Whilst it has plenty of aging potential left, it has entered its drinking window – meaning we can expect an acceleration in the decrease of the supply side. It achieved excellent critic scores of 98+ from Wine Advocate.

Château Leoville Las Cases
Located in the Saint-Julien appelation of Bordeaux, Chateau Leoville-Las Cases is ranked as a ‘Second Growth’ in the 1855 classification – a rank of high prestige.
Like Chateau Canon, this wine is also priced at an attractive enough level that it is consumed more regularly than some ofhe ‘collectable’ wines in this portfolio. That means an accelerating supply-side decline, and an associated rise in price.
The 2020 vintage was excellent, and this wine has achieved 97+ critic scores from Wine Advocate.

Château Pichon Baron
Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron, usually referred to simply as ‘Pichon Baron’ is a prestigious Pauillac estate in Bordeaux.
It has a fascinating history, coming into being – along with its sister estate, Chateau Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande (‘Pichon Lalande’) in 1850 after Baron Joseph de Pichon Longueville gave one part of his estate to his daughter and one to his son.
Alongside 2005, the 2009 vintage is regarded as ‘Legendary’, with the year producing excellent wines across the board. This wine achieved critic scores of 96+ from Wine Advocate.

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou
Located in Saint-Julien on the so-called ‘left bank’ of the Gironde estruary, Ducro-Beaucaillou is a highly rated ‘second growth’ under the 1855 classification.
The 2005 vintage is regarded as ‘Legendary’. Known as the ‘vintage of the century’, 2005 was the original Bordeaux vintage that sparked Chinese passion for fine wine.
This wine achieved 97/100 from Wine Advocate.

Chateau Le Pin
Le Pin is a miniscule (2.7 hectare) property in the Pomerol district of Bordeaux. It is relatively young by Bordeaux standards, only being established in 1979. Since then, it has become an iconic wine due to its quality but especially ist very short supply.
The 2018 vintage was excellent, and this wine shows exceptional aging potential. It also achieved critic scores of 99 / 100 from Wine Advocate.

Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion
Not to be confused with its sister chateau, Chateau Haut-Brion, Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion is a highly regarded producer in its own right.
This wine is from an excellent vintage and achieved high critic scores of 94+ from Wine Advocate.
