Collector’s Guide: Left Bank Bordeaux

This in-depth guide covers the dynamics of the Bordeaux fine wine market including the top Left Bank Bordeaux vintages to know and wine estates to have on your radar as well as advice on building a cellar and the key things to consider when buying on release.

Bordeaux’s Left Bank remains a cornerstone of the fine wine market, and the sheer number of long-lived red wines alone still represent a treasure trove for collectors.

Yet Bordeaux winemaking is also more dynamic than might be assumed. This report focuses on Left Bank reds and draws on previous exclusive reporting for Decanter Premium subscribers to highlight elements of that dynamism. It also offers an introductory guide to some of Bordeaux’s fine market dynamics.
