Which wines would you say jumped ridiculously price-wise

I got an email offer for 2014 Peter Michael Les Pavots at just under $200. I remember when it sat on retailer’s shelves at $35.
Dalle Valle went from $25 to $150 for the regular, Maya from $45 to $400.
Chave-well-let’s not talk about Chave.
These are the three that come to mind first for me.
There was the crazy Cinq Cepages phenomenon but I don’t count it.

Angelus took a big jump after its upgrade in status.

Anything between 1990 and 2005.

You want a list? Let me find that Excel file… [swearing.gif]

Jura in general, but Ganevat in particular (P. Overnoy too, but i can’t even find a bottle).

Etna - basically all of it.

It is all being priced for the rich and famous now. You need to make $250,000 per year and be a dink/sink to have a respectable cellar.

I’d bet the overall winner might be Screagle, especially if you use the street price. I’m pretty sure the winery price was <$100 pre-2000.

Rougeard

A similar analysis was done six years ago for an article in Fortune by Gregory Dal Piaz:

At the high end, wines have become luxury goods and are priced accordingly. You pay for the brand name if you want it (and many do or the price increases would not be sustainable). There is still lots of good wine available at prices lower than the inflation equivalent price over almost any period as new sources have been developed and the supply of wine has expanded.

Egon Muller, almost all Grand Cru Burgundy

lail j.daniel did a very large and swift jump after their 100 pt score.

In full agreement with other posters - the growth in the numbers of worldwide ‘super-rich’ allied to wineries happy to court them, means a lot of wines now no longer represent any sense of value, for that is not the reason for buying them.

No tears though, for all the DRCs of the world, there are plenty of very fine wines offering decent to good value, and label worship is the perfect route to paying over the odds.

More than I can list–especially in Burgundy. Obvious ones that come to mind that have really jumped in just the past few years:

Verset
Allemand
Raveneau
Arnaud Ente
Giacomo Conterno
Fourrier

Mayacamas

Larkmead

Is the question greatest % increase or greatest $$ increase?

Bruce

Bryant is certainly up there !

Not to go OT but where would you say the value is today? What’s drinking great yet doesn’t necessarily have the brand cachet…yet?

Mayacamas

For those of us from Columbus OH Mayacamas and the problems behind the curtain are of particular interest since Jay Schottenstein is involved. The wealthy side of the Schottenstein family are said to be so wealthy that no one really knows how wealthy they are. Our newly built The Ohio State University basketball arena is called, “The Schottenstein Arena” though it is known as “The Schott”.

Another ridiculous “jumper”-Carruades de Lafite-geeez. I bought a case of double ought for $30/bottle IIRC.

Logically the reverse, so whilst the famous & prestigious names in the famous & prestigious appellations are the most likely to have little value, lesser known producers or lesser known appellations are more likely to offer value. They require a little more effort to find, but then if we’re enthusiasts, we probably don’t mind that effort.

In addition however there is also value to be had away from the wines lauded by critics or otherwise ‘trendy and sought after’. Finding a region whose wines appeal to your palate is a great way to find value, but having leading critics ignore it or berate it is a very positive scenario for the wine remaining affordable and good value.
