How much is DRC retail if you can get it

Curious about current vintages like 2019. Thanks

Yeah, not sure what the 2019 pricing is going to look like yet until we receive our allocation (if any at all, most likely not). Sorry I canā€™t help!

Last year good US retail prices on the '18 (not necessarily the best you could get with a special relationship) were

RC $9k
LT $3200
Rich/RSV $2500
GE $1400
Ech $900
Corton $750

Last year it was easy to find good quantities of things at about 20% higher prices than that, which I turned down. Of course looking back that was a mistake as today prices are up 2-3x.

I expect '19 will be up quite a bit.

Do you receive a personal allocation or are you ITB?

45

Anyone hear about pricing for the 2019 Corton Charlemagne?

46

I am ITB

High, higher than I expected.

FWIW, there is a huge frenzy this year since this is the last vintage with Aubertā€™s name on the label. And 20 and 21 vintages will be very short. So ā€œnormal DRC pricingā€ is out the window.

In Ontario, Canada, the 2018s went through the lottery process at the following prices:

Echezeaux $550
Grands Echezeaux $800
Richebourg $1300
Romanee St Vivant $1400
La Tache $1500
Corton not offered
Romanee Conti not offered

All In Canadian dollars. Prices represent the standard markup they apply to all products. Given the demand, itā€™s unlikely you will get anything, at most 1 bottle total.
