OVER THE past couple of years, Champagne producers have enjoyed record -breaking success, shipping over 320 million bottles in 2022 and crossing the €6 billion revenue mark for the first time ever. By extension, the region has also become increasingly more important in iDealwine auctions, where it placed fourth in terms of value (+122%) and fifth in terms of volume (+55%) in 2022. Embedded in this recent triumph is the overarching success of Grower Champagnes. While many Champagne houses source grapes from dozens of vineyards outside of their own properties, Grower Champagnes are produced using almost exclusively estate-owned grapes (with a small allowance of 5% for non-estate-owned).

According to French fine wine auctioneer iDealwine’s recent annual Barometer, organic and biodynamic wine has also been “thriving” at auction over the past few years, with the rankings of the most expensive organic and biodynamic wines at auction bearing a “striking resemblance to the overall rankings of the highest-priced wines in 2022”, particularly at the top of the list. It showed that 15 of the top 20 highest-selling wines at auction in the Barometer came from Burgundy, along with two from Bordeaux (Château Palmer and Château Latour), however this the data reflects the growing demand for Burgundy rather than a specific consumer-led demand for organic wines – particularly as the region is by no means the largest or the most advanced in terms of organic production. As iDealwine’s co-founder Angélique de Lencquesaing notes, this trend “does seem to be more producer-driven”, with a raft of high-end producers moving to organic production and many top producers, such as Leroy, Château Latour, and Domaine de la Romanée-Conti becoming certified as organic.

With its fantastically crafted wines and unique origins story, Penfolds is not only one of the oldest partners in iDealwine history, but also one of the most important. WHEN CHRISTOPHER and Mary Penfold arrived in Adelaide in 1844, the city was populated by fewer than 20,000 people, and almost no one outside of Australia had ever heard of South Australian wine. Today, the bustling city counts over one million inhabitants, and the nearby wine-producing regions of McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, and Coonawarra are household names for wine enthusiasts around the world. This well-deserved global recognition is in part thanks to the pioneering winemaking duo who sought a new home for Christopher’s medical practice nearly 180 years ago.

Wines with Vin de France on the label are increasingly popular. iDealwine’s recent annual auction barometer offers interesting data in support of this trend. VIN DE France has historically been considered the lowest level of designation in France’s protected appellations system behind appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC), appellation d’origine protégée (AOP), and indication géographique protégée (IGP). The AOC designation was introduced in the 1930s to provide quality assurance, and to defend against fraud. For producers to use this label, they must adhere to strict regulations regarding important production decisions like varietal composition, vinification methods, and the maximum yield their vineyards can produce. The AOP designation is simply the European-level equivalent of the AOC. The IGP label, on the other hand, is slightly less restrictive, with all steps of the winegrowing and producing process subject to precise geographical criteria. Vin de France, called Vin de Table before 2009, was used for mass-produced wines as the rules are the most open and least restrictive designation of all, allowing winemakers nearly unrestricted control over their production decisions. The main obligation is that all grapes should be grown and vinified in France and respect the diverse EU regulations.

THE RESULTS are in. iDealwine has just published another edition of its annual barometer. Featuring engaging recaps of the previous year’s auction activity, the annual barometer also offers the company’s outlook for the future and helpful pieces of advice. Among the subjects covered in this year’s edition was an observation about the large price variations between iconic (or rare) bottles and the rest of the fine wine field. There is a clear concentration of demand for certain cuvées, and it is not restricted to historically renowned labels, as micro-production wines saw similarly disproportionate success in 2022.

‘BORDEAUX VS Burgundy’ is a debate that tends to hog the limelight in auction analysis. The juxtaposition of the world’s most famous fine wine regions is trotted out so often that the fact that Hong Kong buyers opt for Burgundy above all else, that Singapore and France are bastions of Bordeaux, and that the latter continues to struggle in the US, is not new information to most keen collectors.
