En primeur or "wine futures", is a method of purchasing wines early while a vintage is still in a barrel, offering the customer the opportunity to invest in a particular wine before it is bottled. Payment is made at an early stage, a year or 18 months prior to the official release of a vintage. A possible advantage of buying wines en primeur is that the wines may be considerably cheaper during the en primeur period than they will be once bottled and released on the market.
We make annual pilgrimages to the finest wine producing areas of the world to taste the new vintage releases and assess quality. The wines we offer En Primeur are based on our tasting of the wines either from cask or as bottle samples. Every wine we offer is selected by our team to be the finest example of its type, for both expression of quality and value..
