En primeur
''En primeur'' or "wine futures", is a method of purchasing wines early while the wine (a vintage) is still in the barrel. This offers the customer the opportunity to invest before the wine is bottled.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wsj.com/articles/bordeaux-futures-whats-the-upside-of-buying-en-primeur-1427707701 )〕 Payment is made at an early stage, a year or 18 months prior to the official release of a vintage. A possible advantage of buying wines ''en primeur'' is that the wines may be considerably cheaper during the ''en primeur'' period than they will be once bottled and released to the market.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thewinesociety.com/about-opening-offers )〕 However, that is not guaranteed and some wines may lose value over time. Wine experts, like Tom Stevenson, recommend buying ''en primeur'' for wines with very limited quantities and will most likely not be available when they are released.〔 T. Stevenson ''"The Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia"'' pg 66 Dorling Kindersley 2005 ISBN 0-7566-1324-8 〕
The wines most commonly offered ''en primeur'' are from Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Rhône Valley and Port, although other regions are adopting the practice.
==Process==
In the spring after a year long harvest, merchants and trade organizations will taste barrel samples of wine that are often only 6–8 months old. In the case of Bordeaux, where the final wine is often a blend of several grape varieties, the winemaker will try to craft an approximate blend to sample. The composition of the final wine may differ from the sample depending on how each barrel matures during the aging process.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.decanter.com/features/should-we-be-worried-about-the-way-samples-are-selected-for-en-primeur-245758/ )〕 Based on the initial sample, the wines will be giving a preliminary "score" or wine rating based on the expected quality of the wine once it is bottled, released and has had time to mature.〔
An ''en primeur'' wine gives the owner the right to receive the respective bottles of wines once the producer has completed the maturing phase of the wine. Wine bought ''en primeur'' is often directly placed into custom-free storage holding, 'in bond'. Known as a delicate method of investment, a purchase may ultimately be deemed a loss, or there may be considerable profit. For example, the 1982 vintage of Château Latour, was sold at £250 a case ''en primeur'' in 1983, while valued in 2007 at £9,000, although the major part of this price increase occurred after bottling.
