compared to the Château’s first and second wine?

Notas del editor

  1. Industrycompetitiverivalry : HighMany ‘Old world’ producers and rising ‘New world’ producers.Excessive quantities of products forcing to lower the overall prices.Decline of the Bordeaux wine image: Sommeliers are tired and claim that the quality was reduced.Bargaining power of supplier: HighNo substitute available. Rely on its own production.Produce high quality wine.Bargaining power of customer: MediumMany possibilities and options of products.Middle switching costs for the costumers.Heterogeneous group of customers, they don’t all want the same wine characteristics.Threat of new entrants: LowPremium market requires specific knowledge and expertise; know-how.You cannot produce everywhere, there’s a need for specific weather and soil conditions.Require big investments to acquire land and production machinery.Threat of substitute products: LowPremium market requires a high quality wine, therefore; they won’t change for lower quality wine nor other alcoholic beverages.Threat of substitute products: LowPremium market requires a high quality wine, therefore; they won’t change for lower quality wine nor other alcoholic beverages.
  2. Product: Name: “Fleur du Château Margaux” or “ Margaux de Château Margaux ”High quality red wine.Sold as a Third wine which is made after blending the two first wines.Place: Bypass the ‘négociants , better control of final price.Direct selling to wholesale distributors and wines boutiques Price: Lower than 1st and 2nd wine.Lower price than Latour’ third wine but from at least equal quality.Affordable price to regain the core customers in traditional market. Benchmark against Latour’s third wine would be sold at $97 by Chateau MargauxTo restaurant through a two-step distribution = $194 (25% profit margin for large distributor and 60% for restaurant)To end consumers through a three step distribution = $157 (25% profit margin for large distributor and 30% for retailer)Price slightly higher for US market (3% more for the distributor)Promotion:Ambassador program, focusing on known Sommeliers around the world and traditionalists consumers.Wine fairs to introduce the brand to new wine customersParticipating on specialized wine books
  3. Start third wind under own brand! + with own marketing strategy Supply the long run: first additional volume would be satisfy by buying from other estates which will keep the costs to a minimum. Then after few years if the demand for the third wine is growing then consider a long term investment to assure highest volume. Keep the strategy: Close to end consumer, which Château Margeaux has right now
