Chateau L’Eglise Clinet, a wine estate in Bordeaux’s Pomerol district on the right bank of the Dordogne, cut the price of its 2013 wine by 15 percent from 2012 as regional growers pursued sales of a vintage hurt by cold, wet weather.
L’Eglise Clinet priced its 2013 wine at 106 euros ($147) a bottle from Bordeaux wholesale merchants, according to data compiled by the London-based Liv-ex wine market. That was 51 percent more than the 70 euros charged charged for the 2008 vintage, cited by critics as of comparable quality in the area.
