Marketwatch

Top-name Tuscan 2020s on sale

More than 100 international fine wines have been released via La Place de Bordeaux in recent weeks, including the 2020 vintages of top SuperTuscans Masseto and Solaia.

UK merchant Justerini & Brooks offered Masseto 2020 (Decanter 100 points) at £1,650 per three-bottle case in bond. Liv-ex, a global marketplace for the trade, said the release price was slightly below current market prices for Masseto 2019 and 2018, and significantly cheaper than the highly prized 2015 and 2016 vintages.

Analyst group Wine Lister said Masseto’s 2019 and 2018 vintages have risen in price by 9% and 40% respectively since release. It also noted buyers may be galvanised by 2020 being the final vintage overseen by estate director Axel Heinz, now CEO at Margaux second growth Château
