What is En Primeur?
What is En Primeur?
Buying en primeur wines is a system of buying and selling in which the consumer purchases the wine typically in the early summer following the vintage even though it will not be bottled and delivered for a further 12-18 months.It is, in effect, a futures market. Money changes hands and a stake in a wine is purchased before it becomes a finished product.
Why Buy En Primeur?
In recent years En Primeur is increasingly being bought for investment purposes. In general, one can secure better prices for En Primeur wines as they are virtually always cheaper than the price of the wine when it is bottled.
With the clamour for good vintages, prices of En Primeur wines can increase rapidly.
It is also a way to secure wines that are difficult to obtain and highly sought after once physical.
Buying En Primeur does not necessarily mean that prices will increase but if you get involved with the right wines, it offers great value and should be considered as part of a diverse wine portfolio.
The profit margins can be high therefore when purchasing En Primeur there will be several opportunities even before the wine is bottled to take advantages of price increases and take profit.
