“Did you know that Château Margaux had been on sale for two years, before Mister Mentzelopoulos bought the estate for 72 million francs (€11 million) in 1976. It is currently valued at +1.2 billion euros”
Monthly update
Dear reader,
Market update:
The fine wine index had an excellent month of February with +0.9%. Cru Wine Investment did particularly well with a performance of +3.4%.
In the current uncertain financial markets, fine wine has a strong positive influence on your expected investment returns. Given its low correlation with equities, it complements well a portfolio mixed with equities and bonds. We believe that a postition of 5-10% of your investment in fine wine is adequate.
Cru Wine Investment update:
We had a fantastic presentation and wine tasting, with a great attendance at Case Tua in Monaco. Cru Wine Investment sends its particular thanks to David Gregory from EFG Bank for the invitation.
Our annual investor tour in Bordeaux has been finalised and we are happily welcoming a large number of our investors. The event will involve gastronomic lunches, private visits at several top Châteaux and much more.
We are welcoming Paul Schmit, a wine passionate who will write monthly on the jewels he has found in his 40 years of experience tasting, visiting and promoting wine in France.
Do not hesitate to get in touch with us for additional information, brochure, presentation on wine investment: [email protected]. Equally if you would like a free consultation, give us a call on: +44 20 351 415 56

Château of the month – Montrose
The history of Château Montrose is quite romantic, as the name ‘Montrose’ means pink hill and refers to the pink-purple bloom of heather that once covered the place where it stands. Montrose was first part of Château Calon Ségur’s garden until it was marked out as a separate property in 1824.
Martin and Olivier Bouygues, billionaire owners of the global Bouygues construction and communications group, are currently in charge, after buying Montrose in 2006. Château Montrose was the favourite wine of their father.
Château Montrose received a perfect score (100 points) from Robert Parker for the 1990 and 2009 vintage. The Montrose wines, which can be kept for 40 years, are variously described as powerful, dense, firm, tannic and masculine.
