From 2021 to 2025, the median price rose by 58%, moving from €24,575/ha to €38,722/ha. With only 25 sales recorded over six years, these figures should be read with caution: a single atypical transaction can significantly shift the annual statistics.
Recorded transactions range from €6,835/ha to €80,000/ha. This spread reflects the diversity of the properties sold: appellation, grape varieties, the condition of the vines and the presence of farm buildings all drive large differences in value.
