A case of 1990 Chateau d’Yquem, Bordeaux’s top-ranked Sauternes dessert wine, sold for 2,700 pounds ($4,050) on the Liv-ex market yesterday, extending a 15-month drop and taking it to its lowest level since October 2009.
The wine sold for 20 percent less than the 3,380 pounds at which it traded in March last year, having peaked at 3,400 pounds in September 2011, according to data on London-based Liv-ex’s Cellar Watch website.
