En Primeur

Why buy En Primeur?

En Primeur is a way of buying wines before they are bottled and released to the world market. They are delivered two-to-three years after the vintage.

We run en-primeur offers in most years from Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhône.

The prices are nearly always considerably cheaper than the subsequent market release prices. It is an excellent way to secure wines that are in short supply and high demand, especially in superior vintages.

You pay only for the wine when you order. The duty, shipping and VAT are payable on delivery, unless you decide to store the wine in a bonded warehouse, in which case you can defer payment of duty and VAT until you require the wine.

We email and post out our En Primeur offers, if you would like to receive a copy of the offers as they are released please email to: finewine@edward-sheldon.co.uk or Telephone 01608 661409.
