Bordeaux to ignore calls for lower prices

Hopes of price restraint are dashed as châteaux look to cash in on a better vintage. Bordeaux producers have indicated that they are highly unlikely to heed pleas from their customers to keep 2014 prices down. At the first tastings of the 2014 en primeur week, château owners have said that prices will be higher than recent vintages, to reflect the quality of the vintage, which they believe is one of the best of the last decade.
