Decades of Access to the World's Finest Wines
Over the years, we have facilitated acquisitions and provided advisory across the most significant wine regions and producers. The following examples illustrate our sourcing relationships and market access. They do not constitute current inventory or offers for sale.
Our primary sourcing channel is direct allocation from estates and domaines. These relationships, often decades old, provide access to wines that rarely reach broader distribution.
We maintain relationships with private collectors, family offices, and institutions worldwide. When significant collections come to market privately, we are often approached first.
We monitor global auction results and, when appropriate, bid on behalf of clients. Our historical price database informs valuation guidance and market timing advice.
For Bordeaux and select other regions, we evaluate and participate in en primeur campaigns when pricing and vintage quality justify investment.
Every bottle we handle undergoes verification. Provenance is not negotiable.
We decline acquisitions—regardless of rarity or profit potential—when provenance cannot be established with certainty. No exceptions.
The following examples are anonymized to preserve client confidentiality.
Over a four-year period, we assembled a complete DRC La Tâche vertical from 1990-2020 for a multi-generational family office. Acquisition required patience, estate relationships, and private collector negotiations. All bottles verified château-direct or bonded warehouse provenance. Total investment: €850,000. Client retains collection in London bonded storage.
Structured a diversified First Growth investment portfolio across optimal vintages (1982, 2000, 2005, 2009, 2010) totaling 100 cases. Focus on Lafite, Latour, and Margaux with verified château provenance. Storage arranged in Singapore bonded facility. Ongoing portfolio monitoring and valuation updates provided quarterly.
Advised private club on reference cellar construction emphasizing both investment value and member enjoyment. Portfolio included California cult wines, Burgundy Grand Cru, and Champagne Prestige cuvées. Total acquisition budget $2.2M over three years. Cellar now serves both as member amenity and alternative asset holding.
Sourced comprehensive Champagne library including Krug Clos d'Ambonnay (multiple vintages), Salon back vintages, and Dom Pérignon P2/P3 collection. Required estate relationships and private collector negotiations. Client focus: personal enjoyment with secondary investment benefit.
