Champagne Offers of the week
In our latest wine investment research we explained that Champagne is the best performing fine wine region over the past 12 months, and outlined why we think this will continue:
- Champagne is much cheaper than other wine regions – plenty of room for price growth in most names.
- Champagne is generally only released when ready to drink – hence it has a very firm bid from consumers and a steep consumption curve.
- Because they are consumed so quickly, Champagnes have steep back vintage price curves (i.e. their price rises quickly with age).
We have upped Champagne to 22% in our recommended portfolio weighting. Clients with less than this percentage should consider adding more Champagne to their portfolios at this time.

A blend of 198 wines from 11 different years, with the youngest the acclaimed 2012, back to a precious, powerfully aromatic lot of Verzenay Pinot Noir 1996. The final blend – 52% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 13% Meunier – was bottled in 2013 and aged for seven years in Krug’s cellars in Reims. Yields in 2012 were 20% lower than usual because of a succession of meteorological events including frost, rain, storms and hail in winter and spring 2012, followed by the driest ripening season since 1974. Notably intense aroma with crème pâtissière dominant. Masses of extract and remarkable acidity underpinned by great depth of flavour and beautiful balance on the finish. I think this is going to be a really great, glamorous Krug Grande Cuvée that will continue to develop in bottle for many years to come. I suspect it will be even more enjoyable from the end of 2020. The length on the palate is remarkable. This is magnificently precise, a great tribute to the work of the old cellarmaster Eric Lebel, who is still in the background, and a wonderful welcome to his successor Julie Cavil, who has been learning from him since 2006.HK$10,755.00
