The trend for cuts continues with both releases, but cheaper vintages remain in the back catalogue of each as well. That said, both properties are considered to be among the region’s rising stars which might draw interest. Château Canon-la-Gaffelière was also released with a 20% cut and is the cheapest vintage currently available.

The Pauillac estate is the second first growth to have been released so far this campaign, following Lafite Rothschild at the end of April. Its new price makes it the cheapest since the release of the 2014 vintage and represents a price cut of 25% on last year’s 2023 offer. Consultancy group Wine Lister called it ‘a well-judged release’. Also released was Mouton’s stable of other labels including Château d’Armailhac and Château Clerc Milon.
