Cheval Blanc 2024 release price of £275 per bottle is fair, but not sure it's enough. With the exception of 2021 and 1997, this is the cheapest vintage (including storage fees). However, in this poor market environment, shouldn't buyers be first snapping up 2021, which is physical and slightly cheaper?  

Side note: tried 1997 a couple years ago and it was drinking very well for a vintage generally slated.

To be fair to Cheval Blanc, they have been mindful of secondary market pricing when offering En Primeur, see 2023 En Primeur review HERE. Discounts of almost 30% to 2019 and nearly 15% to 2011, to mention a few, are a thoughful approach. The question remains if it will be enough.

----------------------------------

**** Please note En Primeur is HIGHLY speculative. This is not buying wine for consumption but making a speculative bet that wine bought now before bottling, will be cheaper than buying the same wine in 5, 10 or 20 years time.
