The Bordeaux 2013 campaign has been a perfect example of why a fine wine broker makes more sense than buying en primeur in an off-vintage. As evinced by the Drinks Business article on the release of the Haut-Brion range of wines it is commendable on the face of it that they have cut their prices by 10 – 20% but the headline hides the fact that even this substantial cut is not enough if there are cheaper and better vintages on the market and ready to drink.
