Default Futures pricing


I just got a Futures mailing today and was blown away by the
price of Cheval Blanc. Are they being groomed for 1st growth status?
La Mission Haut Brion was $1,299 for the 2003 case and Cheval Blanc
was $3,799. What has happened there.

I don't generally buy many Big 8 wines, but my impression is that Cheval Blanc
prices have generally been equivalent (occasionally higher) than the 1sts in
most vintages. LMHB has often challenged the 1st on a qualitative level, but
unsure that's as likely now since under same ownership as HB.
