(Decanter) - Price drops continue to be steady rather than spectacular as the 2012 campaign continues its quick pace.
Yesterday saw Chateau Poujeaux out at €16.20 ex-Bordeaux (down 4%), Chateau Kirwan at €22.50 (down 21%), Cantermerle at €17.80 (down 6.25%), Alter Ego de Palmer at €37.50 (down 6%), Prieuré Lichine at €22.75 (down 19%), Tour Carnet €18 (down 9%) and Fleur de Bouard at €16.75 (down 3%).
This morning continued equally busily, with the Mouton Rothschild stable of wines bringing their prices out.
Chateau d’Armailhac is being offered at €25 ex-Bordeaux (a drop of 16%), and Clerc Milon at €31 (down 13.8%). Chateau Coutet, which is not owned by the Rothschilds but is distributed as part of their portfolio is €31, a significant drop of 26% on last year.
In Margaux, Chateau du Tetre also made an appearance at €19.20 ex-Bordeaux, down from €20.90 in 2011.
