En Primeur comes of age
The en primeur system has become the established method of securing stocks of fine wines at early, favourable prices; a case of 2005 Chateau Lafite purchased en primeur for £3750 now retails at £10350, if you can get hold of one!
In recent years, wine enthusiasts have become increasingly frustrated as spiralling demand has pushed prices ever higher and all but priced us out of collecting and enjoying the wines we love. Today, acquiring the finest wines en primeur has become the preserve of the very wealthy or the practice of speculators who have no intention of ever enjoying their ‘investment’. The requirement to purchase by the case (£2500+ for a 2007 First Growth Bordeaux) only exacerbates the wine lover’s plight. If you've ever wondered if there isn’t a better way, there is, shareacase.com
Striking a blow for the wine enthusiast
At shareacase.com you can now buy fine wines en primeur, by the bottle, allowing you to mix your cases to build a diverse and eclectic cellar of the world’s greatest wines. What's more, you won't need to win the lottery or squander the kids' inheritance. In simple terms, for the price of a case of Chateaux Palmer, your cellar can feature some of the stellar wines of the vintage - Lafite Rothschild, Latour, Cheval Blanc, Margaux or d'Yquem - together with a selection of highly acclaimed, hand-picked, less expensive wines.
Our debut offer is carefully chosen from the very best of the 2007 Bordeaux vintage, selected by our own Charles Metcalfe from the wines he tasted inl Bordeaux in April. Charles’s scores, together with those of Jancis Robinson and Robert Parker accompany our listing of fine, early drinking reds and exquisite (perhaps truly historic) sweet whites that would grace any cellar.
Whether you are adding to an established collection or taking your first, tentative steps into the en primeur world, shareacase.com gives you choice and flexibility as never before. Over time, as we broaden our selection, you will be able to purchase the finest wines of other regions, Burgundy, Rhone, Port, etc. in the same way.
