Bordeaux En Primeur 2008 Offers

Buying En Primeur:

Similar to the stock market where the investor can buy futures, we offer the investor the chance to buy
En Primeur, wine futures. We offer you the chance to purchase wines, when the wine is still in the barrel, before it is bottled and put on to the market. The benefits can be huge in that the price can be considerably lower than the price when it hits the market, but this all depends on the vintage and money can be lost if the critics do not rate the wine highly. Buying En Primeur wines that are usually bottled
3 years after the vintage has been declared, can be seen as an excellent alternative to long term investment if traded this way.

The Bordeaux 2008 Vintage En Primeur campaign has begun and prices are now starting to be released. The news is good in that Bordeaux has recognised that the economy is not good. Some of the Chateau's have reduced their prices by as much as 47% from the 2007 vintage price, which bodes well for collectors and investors.

The 2008 vintage reports have been a great deal better than expected and as Jancis Robinson wine critic stated in her tasting notes, this vintage is a "pleasant surprise" and "how well the 2008's are tasting", considerably better than the 2007.

Below are the Chateau's that have released their prices with scores from Jancis Robinson, Neal Martin and Robert Parker:
