The strength of the investment market for fine Bordeaux and Burgundy wine has been further highlighted by the launch of a new fund.

Wine Investors Limited, operated by investment manager Anpero, is raising £30 million to acquire high-value wine such as Chateau Lafite Rothschild and Chateau Haut-Brion, Investors Chronicle reports.

Anpero has a history of strong returns from wine investment, and it still feels that there is plenty of further growth potential for the finest Bordeaux and Burgundy wines.

With consumption of the top labels rising, Anpero director Andrew della Casa told the publication the market is experiencing "a perfect inverse supply curve".

David Elswood, Christie's international head of wine, recently suggested that Chinese investors are increasingly looking towards fine wine.

Speaking to Bloomberg, he reasoned that wine speculation from Asia could create a "price bubble" for the very top Bordeaux brands, such as Chateau Lafite Rothschild and Chateau Latour.
