The question may seem trivial, but we seek to understand: what is the secret ingredient that transforms a meal into an unforgettable moment?

Many would say it requires great wines and exceptional dishes. Then, upon reflection, one would add: “Yes, but you must be well surrounded.” True enough. The setting, the ambiance, and the state of mind matter almost as much as what is on the plate. So, in the end, isn’t it above all a matter of the company? For, as the saying goes, “one missing person, and everything feels empty.” A single presence — or absence — can sometimes undo all efforts made to create a moment suspended in time.

The Bordeaux “en primeur” system is a unique marketing method that allows buyers to purchase wine before it is even bottled. Each spring, châteaux offer tastings of the latest vintage still in the aging process. This pivotal moment in the Bordeaux calendar allows négociants, clients, critics, and collectors from around the world to discover the wines in advance.

After evaluation and scoring, the wines are sold “en primeur”, giving buyers the opportunity to reserve their bottles at a price generally lower than what they would pay once the wine is bottled. This system enables estates to manage the sale of their stock before the production process is complete. The négociants of the Bordeaux marketplace secure their allocations and can also begin reselling to their clients. After 18 to 24 months of aging, the wines purchased “en primeur” are delivered to their buyers.
