Millésima, one of the five biggest buyers of en primeur wines in Bordeaux, is offering no fewer than 160 wines from the 2009 vintage. The list is the largest 2009 primeur list available on the market and all wines are purchased direct from the properties.

How it works

The main advantage of buying wines en primeur is that the wines may be considerably cheaper during the en primeur period than they will be once bottled and released on the market. Another advantage is to really get a hold on the sought after wine. The wines most commonly offered en primeur are from Bordeaux.

En primeur or "wine futures", is a way of purchasing wines while a vintage is still in a barrel, offering the customer the opportunity to invest in a particular wine before it is bottled. Payment is made at an early stage, from a year to 18 months before each wine is bottled.

As always, all the en-primeur wines Millesima proposes you are exclusively and directly bought from the producing estate. Our Bordeaux 2009 Primeur offer, among the most comprehensive offers on the market, proposes a range of over 160 wines, most of them available from half-bottles to Imperiales, as well as an exclusive collection of “tasting cases” composed of the most sought after Chateaux.
