The Jura sets a new precedent. As a 1774 Vin Jaune auctions for the record breaking sum of €103,700, this region continues to prove its investment worth.
As the Devillard family secure a deal to buy Domaine Rolet, we consider why this key player in Burgundy wishes to get a foot in the door in the Jura.

2017 was a record year for the iDealwine auction platform. More than 111,000 bottles, originating from great vineyards all over the globe, were exchanged over the course of the year. We reflect on the 50 highest priced wines sold at auction last year. With the 2018 iDealwine Barometer flying off the printing press next week (information to follow soon, watch this space!), we take a moment to consider the staggering rankings that emerged from auction in 2017. 2017 was a year of superlatives for the iDealwine auction platform that saw wines (but not…
The Comité Champagne (Comité interprofessionnel du vin de Champagne) has announced that Champagne has set a new record for turnover in 2017, with sales reaching €4.9 billion. This strong progression has been fuelled by a growing international market and a subsequent increase in exports. Last week the trade association Comité Champagne revealed the impressive Champagne sales figures for 2017. At €4.9 billion, 2017 has been a hugely successful year for Champagne producers. This is thanks mainly to an increase in exports which registered a 6.6% rise compared to 2016. The Comité Champagne also…
It’s record after record here at iDealwine! First, we saw a bottle of Hermitage Cuvée Cathelin from Domaine Chave go for an impressive €8,512 at auction. This time, it was the exceptional Trockenbeerenauslese 1976 from Egon Muller that reached new heights: this German Riesling was cinched by a Chinese wine enthusiast for €12,160. Egon Muller’s superbly light sweet wines have become renowned for their finesse to the extent that they are now prized the world over. This domain has remained in the family since it was first founded in 1797. Jean-Jacques Koch’s (Egon…
This cult Hermitage domain continues to impress. The iDealwine auction on the 28th February saw a bottle of its almost unobtainable cuvée go for €8,512 to a Polish wine lover, an iDealwine record. Although the Chave dynasty goes back to the end of the 15th century, their current notoriety is somewhat more recent. On the 28th February, a bottle of the 2003 Cuvée Cathelin from Jean-Louis Chave sold for €8,512 at the iDealwine auction and put this domain squarely in the headlines. Wines from this domain have had a favourable reputation ever since…
The trend may not be recent but it is certainly intensifying. Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier has magnificent plots in Musigny, Chambolle- Musigny Les Amoureuses and Bonnes-Mares, not to mention their monopoly in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Clos de la Maréchale. The latest auctions at iDealwine confirm a surge in the price of bottles from this domain. Founded in 1863 by Fédéric Mugnier, a liqueur manufacturer from Dijon, this Chambolle-Musigny domain initially spanned around 20 hectares in the heart of the Chambolle and Nuits-Saints-Georges appellations. At the time, the wines were sold under the label Château de Chambolle-Musigny…
