We are specialized in the sale of old wines, bottles of vintages over 20 years old and we offer you the following guarantees to ensure that your purchase gives you complete satisfaction:
- All bottles of old wines are in stock in our cellars in Paris and Bordeaux: we have checked and checked them, and we can give you all the useful information on their level and the condition of the capsules and labels.
- We ship several dozen bottles of old wines every month: we pay very particular attention to the handling and packaging of the wines so that their transport is carried out in perfect conditions.
- We select wines with reasonable prices: after 20 years of ageing, some great wines reach very high prices and are reserved for informed collectors. Instead, we are looking for old wines that are more than 20 years old and are affordable while offering real taste qualities.
- We choose the best wines in each vintage and inform you about the quality of the vintages: we provide you with a buying guide for old vintages with detailed information on certain vintages, the best wines to buy by country and region.
This last point is very important: if you want to give an old bottle as a gift, for example the vintage of the year of birth of a loved one, it is important to know the quality of the vintage. Is it a label purchase, i.e. a well-known wine, a 30 or 40-year-old classified growth, but in a vintage that makes it unsuitable for conservation and tasting after so many years? Or is it on the contrary the purchase of an old wine, for example a wine from Alsace or Roussillon, capable after 20, 30, 40 years of cellaring, of offering beautiful sensations when tasted?
When it comes to conservation, the sugar content in the wine is obviously not everything, and the great wines of Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Rhône Valley and the vintage champagnes demonstrate this perfectly. But very often, in small vintages, the dessert and sweet white wines of Alsace and the Loire Valley, the sweet white wines of Sauternes or the natural sweet red wines of Roussillon, Maury, Banyuls and Rivesaltes, offer a much greater pleasure to taste. And sometimes, little-known appellations offer real nuggets in vintages over 40 years old, at reasonable prices, such as Cahors wines for example.
