En-Primeur

Bordeaux En-Primeur

En primeur or “wine futures”, allows you to purchase wines early while the wine from a specific vintage is still in the barrel. This offers you the opportunity to invest before the wine is bottled.

Payment is made at an early stage, 18 months to 2 years prior to the official release of a vintage. Buying wines en primeur may be considerably cheaper during the en primeur period than they will be once bottled and released to the market. However, that is not guaranteed and some wines may lose value over time.

En primeur offers access to rare wines that may be harder to secure after release.

CLOSED - 2021 Bordeaux En-Primeur

The 2021 Bordeaux En-Primeur has now closed.

The 2021 Vintage in Bordeaux

2021 was a challenging vintage that tested Bordeaux’s best. This has created a complicated picture in which drawing broad conclusions on the vintage are difficult. That said, one assertion that can be made is that many winemakers rose to the challenge and, through hard work, sheer determination and utilising the latest techniques and technology, lovely wines were made on both sides of the Gironde.

2021 sees a return to the elegant and refined claret style many associate with the region prior to the solar vintages experienced over the last two decades. Alcohols levels are down a good 1% or more, and with higher natural acidity levels, the wines will display a greater degree of drinkability than some of the more blockbuster years.

“Aside from widespread frost, constant rain, humidity, rot, muddy terrain, June’s biblical deluges, leafhopper infestations, a cool and overcast summer, delayed vine growth, spun-out véraison, stubbornly low phenolic ripeness, shortages of pickers and an incorrect weather forecast in the eve of harvest…the 2021 season was a piece of cake.”  Neal Martin – Vinous

William Kelley of the Wine Advocate found that despite the tricky conditions, “The region’s best producers… have taken all these challenges in their stride” and that 2021 “has produced several genuinely great wines, as well as many good to excellent wines that will deliver immense pleasure”. Indeed, he found that such is the improvement in winemaking today that “were the 2021s transposed to the decade of the 1990s, they would be considered the product of a superb vintage.”

Georgie Hindle of Decanter found much to admire and 2021. “A year of intense aromatic complexity in both the reds and whites. Lower alcohol, freshness, balance and elegance in the best wines….there will be some beautiful bottles worth buying from 2021 – if you know where to look”.

While Antonio Galloni quoted “The 2021 Bordeaux have turned out to be such a surprise. Weather conditions were challenging, and yet the top properties turned out gorgeous, classically built wines that will absolutely thrill readers who appreciate freshness and energy. Restrained alcohols and mid-weight structures will remind readers of Bordeaux pre-2000s. The best wines offer a striking combination of old-school classicism with modern-day precision. Quality is inconsistent though, so choosing carefully is essential. Even so, there is much to like in the 2021s.”
