The layout may be new but the experience remains the same: enthusiasts can explore aver 2,000 labels displayed across the shop’s two floors. The selection includes Burgundy and Bordeaux grands crus, wines from all the French and international appellations, renowned champagnes as well as more exclusive labels, and a carefully curated selection of spirits to captivate even the most seasoned mixologists.
Le Chai des Grands Vins belongs to Duclot, The Fine Wine Merchant of Bordeaux.

EN PRIMEUR SELECTION
Every year, Le Chai des Grands Vins takes part in the Bordeaux “En primeur” campaign. This system was developed by the Bordeaux wine merchants 200 years ago and was originally only open to professionals before making the wines available to individual buyers. It allows châteaux to sell the current vintage while it is still ageing, with delivery two years later after bottling.
“En primeur” offers provide wine enthusiasts with access to their favourite wines, as well as often sought-after and rare grands crus. The wines are available in various formats: half-bottles, bottles, magnums, etc. The price of an “En primeur” wine is generally lower than its sale price once bottled. When placing the order, the buyer pays the VAT-inclusive price, with any shipping costs due upon delivery two years later.
Drawing on their experience, the team of experts at Le Chai des Grands Vins, working closely with the Duclot tasting committee that samples the wines throughout the campaign, will advise and guide you on your purchase of Bordeaux “En primeur” wines.
