From 2020 to 2025, the median price rose by 25%, moving from €140,000/ha to €175,000/ha.
Recorded transactions range from €14,911/ha to €254,409/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.
