Bordeaux Wine Famous Wine Regions Fine Wine Blog Wine Investment
Less than 0.1% of the wine produced in the world is regarded as “investment grade.” In general, the most popular and sought after wines for investment are top Bordeaux and Grand Cru Burgundy – but there are several other regions on the rise that informed wine investors should keep an eye on.
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is rising in collectability, and certain fine wines from Rhone Valley and Tuscany are proven portfolio additions as well.
Like with any and all investments, information is what gives you the edge in achieving good ROI. With that in mind, we’ve put together this list of the best wine investment regions to give you a gateway into the world of wine investment.
With additional research and resulting informed decisions, wine from any of these 5 top wine regions can be turned profitable.
1. Burgundy
Some of the best and most popular wines around the world today, the best Burgundies of both red and white varietals fetch some of the highest prices at wine auctions.Regularly dominating the Top 50 Most Expensive Wines (as seen here), Grand Cru and other Burgundy wines have high ROI to offer if purchased at opportune times.
The best Burgundies are made in the smallest quantities, and are quickly grabbed by smart investors, as they are sure to reappear on the market later at skyrocketing prices due to scarcity.
2. Bordeaux
Over 90% of all investment grade wine is produced in Bordeaux – making it a key, crucial component region to any wine investment portfolio.Many traditional portfolios focus only on red Bordeaux from the best vintages, as they have a well-established secondary market and unsurpassable reputations for quality, consistency, and cellaring.
For example, the 2000 vintage of Bordeaux (see this Cheval Blanc, 2000) has seen some bottles quickly increase 4 and 5 fold in value, which was virtually unheard of previously in wine investment.
Bordeaux is the most traditional wine investment region, and offers the most security on future trading in wine, as there are known and consistent markets for it. Any proper portfolio will prioritize key vintages and vineyards of Bordeaux – of which you can read more about in this article on Moncharm.
3. Rhone Valley
While Burgundy and Bordeaux may generally outshine the other regions for investment wine in popularity, Rhone Valley does offer a few strong prospects that can reach the same prices.Recommended wines from Napa that you should keep an eye on are the “La-La” wines: La Landonne, La Mouline, and La Turque. You can read more about various vintages from these Rhone wines, as well as other investment-grade wines from Rhone, in this article on Moncharm.
4. Tuscany
While Tuscan classics such as Brunellos and Vino Nobiles are sometimes included in wine portfolios, the top investment wines from the region that we recommend keeping an eye on are without a doubt the Super Tuscans.Sassicaia, Solaia and Tignanello are some of the most popular and distinguished investment-grade wines to come out of Italy – and for good reason, given their past performance. You can read our full article and input on these Tuscan wines (as well as others from Italy), in this Moncharm article.
5. Napa Valley
While many of the New World regions offer expensive and top quality wine, very few have proven themselves as investment quality – one of which is the USA’s California.Napa Valley is the shining star in investment wine here. While investment wines from Napa Valley are not traded as frequently in secondary markets as are French investment wines, they have still managed to prove they are a solid investment.
Two good examples of Napa investment-grade wines are this Screaming Eagle, 2011 and this Opus One, 2009. Apart from other vintages of these wines, you should also keep an eye on other top quality Cabernet Sauvignons.
