Ce que coûte le terrain viticole

Un hectare de grand cru en Bourgogne peut coûter plus de mille hectares de Bordeaux ordinaire. La terre sous une vigne est la principale raison pour laquelle une bouteille coûte dix fois une autre.

Les chiffres sont ceux que donnent les barèmes officiels des terres et les rapports professionnels pour chaque zone, dans l'unité qu'ils publient. Pour les représenter sur une même échelle, les barres utilisent un taux approximatif d'un dollar pour 0.9 euros et 2,47 acres pour l'hectare ; le chiffre affiché est toujours l'original.

    Champagne AOC averageChampagne

   Chalk downs like Champagne’s, a warming climate, and Champagne houses planting there. Very little suitable land ever reaches the open market.

   Moulin-à-VentBeaujolais
   ≈$89,544–≈$123,123un hectare · 2024

    Flatter, less famous land along the river: some of the cheapest vineyard in any classic region.

    Some of the oldest vines on earth, but a glut after China closed its doors in 2020 pushed land to the cheapest of any famous region.

14. 

    StellenboschStellenbosch
    ≈$48,391–≈$60,489un hectare · 2024

    The Cape’s oldest district, between granite mountains; the land is worth more for houses than for vines, which is why the vineyard area keeps shrinking.

    The source of the world’s pale rosé. The vines are modestly priced; the estates and their brands are not.

    The everyday regional appellation across the valley.

20. 

    Bordeaux AOC, everydayBordeaux
    ≈$4,477–≈$15,670un hectare · 2024

    The everyday appellation across the whole region. There is more wine than buyers, so land here has been falling in price for years.

D'où viennent les chiffres, et à quelle fréquence ils changent

La France publie chaque année un barème officiel des valeurs de vignobles (SAFER, « Le prix des terres »), appellation par appellation ; le barème 2024 est paru en août 2025. Les chiffres italiens proviennent du CREA et de la presse professionnelle, les chiffres espagnols du recensement des prix des terres du ministère de l'Agriculture, les chiffres allemands de l'office de statistiques de Rhénanie-Palatinat, et les États-Unis ne disposent d'aucun barème officiel, de sorte que Napa, Carneros et l'Oregon utilisent des rapports de courtiers et de professionnels. Les parcelles célèbres se négocient rarement, ce qui explique pourquoi le haut de chaque fourchette est souvent une estimation. La page est mise à jour à la parution de chaque nouveau barème.
