Château Branaire-Ducru and several sweet wines from Sauternes and Barsac have joined the vanguard of an early Bordeaux 2024 en primeur campaign, alongside Pontet Canet, Batailley and Right Bank wines from JP Moueix.
UK merchants rallied behind Branaire-Ducru 2024 late last week, offering it at around £159 per six-bottle case in bond (IB).
