Home / How We Work
Our Process
Three steps. No stock to clear. One unbroken chain of custody.
Tell us what you are looking for, or browse the catalogue. We source through the international trade, négociants and ex-château and ex-domaine releases. Send producer, appellation, vintage, format and quantity. We confirm availability and price within two business days. No obligation.
Every wine is inspected by us before it ships. Original packaging, fill level, colour, label integrity, capsule and storage history are checked and documented. If it does not meet our standard, we do not ship it. A full written provenance report is available on request ($35).
We ship directly to protect provenance. Wines are not transhipped through intermediary warehouses. Delivered to your door by temperature-controlled air freight. Freight is included in the price on orders of $1,000 or more, and fully insured. Allow 4 to 8 weeks from order. Need it sooner? Express air is $250 per 6x75cl or equivalent, 1 to 2 weeks, subject to stock confirmation. Customs clearance is handled for you.
