Like every year, we update our articles on the sale prices of vineyards in France and more particularly in the Cognac vineyards, which are located in the Charente (16) and Charente-Maritime (17) departments.
You will find wine estates for sale on our site. You will also find vineyard plots for sale in the Property category. Finally, if you are interested in buying shares in a Groupement Foncier Viticole, please also visit the Property category.
Data source : The data used in this article comes from statistics published by the SAFER relating to plots larger than 70 ares (7,000 m² or 0.70 hectare) and which have been statistically processed by Agreste (the statistical department of the Ministry of Agriculture) and then published in the Journal Officiel in the Barème indicatif de la valeur vénale moyenne des terres agricoles en 2022.
As mentioned, these market prices are purely indicative and in no way oblige you to buy or sell at the rates indicated. If you look at the details of the minimum and maximum values shown, you will see that prices generally vary widely. However, they should be taken into account to avoid any pre-emption with a price revision by the SAFER.
The price of vines in Cognac continues to rise sharply. Between 2011 and 2022, prices have risen by 93%! The year 2022 closes with a further 3.1% increase in the price of vines for Cognac production, exceeding the 60,000 euros per hectare mark for the first time.
However, the market seems to be entering a new phase, with the interprofession noting a 20% drop in sales volume, and after several years of strong growth in the area of vines planted (more than 3,000 hectares per year in 2022 and 2023), the area of new plantings should not exceed 100 hectares in 2024.
Let's hope that this slowdown in sales does not result in a crisis of the kind this vineyard has experienced in the past. At its lowest point in 2001, a hectare of vines was worth just €15,000 per hectare, a drop of almost 50% compared to 1991.
