Our great wines
Important owner of Bordeaux Grands Crus allocations bought mostly En Primeur, our love for the wine brought us – surely but slowly – to select and distribute a portfolio of Petits Chateaux from the best terroirs of our region.
We also have the privilege to be part of the very few negociants which distribute some of the best foreign wines of the world.
We require for all the wines we commercialise to have a perfect traceability of their provenance and as consequence an exemplary stocking condition. Knowing that, we do not tend to buy bottles from auctions or products that have travelled outside Bordeaux.
The Grands Crus Classés
