WHY EN PRIMEUR?
En Primeur, also known as Wine Futures, refers to the process of buying wine before it’s bottled and released onto the market. Wines can only be purchased by the unmixed case and are usually delivered 2-3 years after the vintage. How does En Primeur work? En Primeur wines are purchased before they are bottled and released onto the market and while they are still lying abroad. En Primeur wines are bought at In Bond prices – ie exclusive of Duty & Vat.On arrival in the UK the wines will be stored, under bond, on your behalf in our Customers’ Private Reserves. You will be notified of their arrival and asked for any further delivery instructions.
All En Primeur purchases are Ex-Vat and Ex-Duty. If/when you choose to have the wines delivered (anywhere in the EU) these taxes become payable. No other discounts or vouchers apply to En Primeur wines. Our team of dedicated wine experts is ready to help to onboard and talk you through the whole process. En Primeur is a great way to start building out a portfolio or cellar, depending on what your preference it is.
