Eighteen bottles of 2009 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild sold for 7,080 pounds ($11,000) a case on the London Liv-ex market this week, 15 percent down from its 2013 high amid selling pressure from investors in top Bordeaux wines.
The vintage changed hands at 7,850 pounds as recently as mid-July, and the deal on Sept. 3 took it back down to the level at which it was regularly trading between July and December 2012, according to data on Liv-ex’s Cellar Watch website.
