Tasting these wines in the early stages of their development is a challenge, an exercise reserved for seasoned professionals.

Belonging to the ranks of the greatest international experts, the members of the Ventealapropriete.com committee - united around Olivier Poussier, the Best Sommelier in the World 2000 - are among the leading figures in the cortege that pushes open the doors of the Bordeaux chateaux to go and taste these special wines every year.

The role of the committee? As with all the wines we offer throughout the year, our goal is to select for you the best wines at the best price.
In other words:

• To give you access to the greatest wines on the planet, those that represent in our eyes the best successes in each appellation.
• Confirm or deny on each vintage the qualities of the greatest signatures and discard the less successful.
• Detect the rising stars, those that will present a fantastic new opportunity.
• To make you discover and share our favorites, whether they are on the sidelines of the appellations or already great statutory names.

Find our selection.

The "releases" from the châteaux happen in drops, or flurries, from May to July. To make sure you don't miss any of your favorite labels, the great successes of the vintage or even the "star growths", we strongly recommend that you sign up for our En-Primeurs alerts.
These alerts, sent by e-mail, will let you know when a new chateau is available online in our selection.

For users of our mobile app, these alerts are also available as notifications.

All payment methods available on our site can be used for purchasing En-Primeur wines: credit card, PayPal, bank transfer, or cheque. Payments are securely processed through our payment partner, PayZen.

For En-Primeur wines, you can also choose the "3 installments without charge" option. This allows you to spread the cost of your purchase over three monthly payments, at the end of which you will receive a reservation certificate for your order.

Following a change in tax regulations, as of January 1, 2023, VAT becomes due upon payment of the En-Primeur reservation deposit. As a result, starting with the 2022 En-Primeurs campaign, the prices of En-Primeur wines will include the current VAT rate.
The reservation certificate resulting from your order will also show the VAT-inclusive amounts.

When the wines are made available, approximately 2 years after the reservation, all that remains to be done is to confirm your delivery address and pay any delivery charges and other specific taxes (ecotax, etc.). The invoice will then be generated automatically.

Please note, for all En-Primeur wines ordered before 2023, VAT will continue to be due when the bottles are made available.
