The sun shone on Bordeaux during the en primeur tastings of the 2016 vintage, both literally as temperatures flirted with the upper 20s, and figuratively as we tasted some exquisite young wines. I almost feel compelled to whisper it but much of what I tasted from 2016 is looking absolutely stunning, with many wines to rival or even out-perform their 2015 brethren. Matthew Hemming MW, Fine Wine Manager

I’m delighted to bring you our 2017 Rhône En Primeur offer, a year that once again will delight lovers of Rhône wines.

According to Michel Chapoutier, 2016 could be better than 1990 in the southern Rhône – praise indeed. Warm conditions throughout the year along with reduced yields has resulted in wines of great concentration – in colour, tannin and flavour. Certainly one of the great vintages, for reds anyway.

Why buy En Primeur?

Demand for fine wines is always high as there simply isn't enough to go around. En Primeur guarantees you an allocation of the finest wines at opening prices. Furthermore, many of our customers buy wines en primeur to build up a cellar of interesting wines. With prices starting at just £55 per case, buying en primeur isn’t limited to fine wine but is an affordable and easy way to buy exciting pre-release wines at all price levels.
