offer of the day – faiveley 2017…

3.2.2019billn

Whilst I may have missed the 14s, here you can see the ‘progression’ of same merchant’s prices (in Switzerland) for the 12s, 13s, 15s, 16s and now the 2017s. The format here for the prices is simple: 2017 (2016, 2015, 2013, 2012) and — if not previously offered…

*There is 8% Tax to add in Switzerland, but then these are delivered prices

The first really significant price decreases that I have seen for 2017 – that said, the prices have only dropped to be in-line with 2015, though the quality is more that of 2014 – still, 2012-2015 were relatively stable prices chez Faiveley for this merchant. Only the Charlemagne seems to ‘justify’ the higher prices of yore…

Agree? Disagree? Anything you'd like to add?

    Interesting stuff Bill, thanks for this. First reductions I’ve seen too – that said haven’t really been paying attention as not in the market EP and never bought other than an odd older Faiveley bottle.

    Maybe less than appropriate to single out one wine but, without having my calculator out, the one that seemed to stand out for me (in terms of level of reduction) is Amoureuses ? Are you aware of any particular reason there – not that I’ll be buying as above 😉 ?

      Well I suppose that the obvious one would be the lack of frost in Chambolle in 2017 – there were roughly 80% losses for the village in 2016 – though the price drop is much more than the recent increases. Would it be churlish to suggest the wine was hard to place at the higher pricing – regardless of availablity(?) As François Millet of de Vogüé noted last year:

      “At the domaine in 2016 we lost 70% to the frost – there was no favouring of villages or Musigny, they were equally frosted. I’ve never seen such a small production since I came here in 1985.”

    Similar price drop ~ 7% : Albert Morot Beaune 1er Crus 2017 EP compared to 2016 EP

      Interesting – thanks Paul – I’d be surprised if the 2017s here have been bottled yet – but a good indicator.

    Thanks, sage ‘observation’ perhaps at placing at higher pricing. Can certainly acknowledge the Chambolle 2016 situation from my Arlaud experiences that year were, as best can recall without specific checking, we didn’t go to any of the domaine’s Chambolle premier crus (Noirots, Sentiers and Chatelots). Similarly no picking in the negoce NSG (Porrets).

    Morot’s 2017s can be picked up as of Feb 1, 2019.
