Vintages

Each vintage has its own page with both scores, the drinking window and the merchant price range. The meter is the score on a 60-100 scale and its colour is where that vintage stands against its own drinking window. Prices are per 75cl, with the case size and month they were taken from.

Window not recordedthe vintage carries no window, so the meter shows its score alone

Best scored: 2020; 94 / 100 from a critic
Lowest price: 2016; £68 per 75 cl

Price by vintage

One monthly median per vintage, divided by the case size it was quoted in, so the bars are the same unit. These are our own aggregates, not offers: nobody will sell you a median.

Solid: a realised in-bond tradeHatched: what a merchant is asking, which nobody has paid

Philippe Pacalet monthly median by vintage, per 75cl · Each bar is one month of one SKU; the table below names the case size, the tape and the month behind every figure. 3 vintages are priced in a case size the merchant did not state, so no per-bottle figure is drawn for them
