Buy En Primeur Wines at Grandcruwijnen: Directly via the Place de Bordeaux

As an officially registered wine merchant, Grandcruwijnen is authorized to purchase directly via the Place de Bordeaux – the international platform for the pre-sale of fine wines. While originally exclusive to Bordeaux, this network now also features wines from iconic producers in Italy, California, South America, and more. Think of names like Masseto, Solaia, Opus One, Insignia, and Catena Zapata.

 

What is En Primeur?

En Primeur is a unique way of buying wine, where you purchase wines that are still aging in barrels and will only be delivered months or even years later. This pre-sale offers you the opportunity to buy exclusive and often very limited top wines at an attractive price – often 15% to 30% lower than the eventual market price. It can also be an interesting form of investment, especially considering today’s low interest rates.

 

How Does the Pre-Order System at Grandcruwijnen Work?

Via our website, you can easily order En Primeur wines using the Pre-order button. After placing your order, you’ll receive a confirmation with an estimated delivery date. As soon as the wine becomes available, we’ll notify you and either ship your order or have it ready for pickup at our warehouse in Dordrecht – depending on your chosen delivery method. Please note: we only ship once your complete order is in stock to avoid partial deliveries.

 

Why Buy Through the Place de Bordeaux?

In Bordeaux, wines are not sold directly by the châteaux, but through certified négociants. As a recognized wine merchant within this system, Grandcruwijnen purchases directly, giving you the assurance that the wine genuinely originates from the château. This is crucial, as the world of rare wines is vulnerable to fraud and poor storage conditions. Always buy from a trusted source.

 

A Unique Opportunity: Top Wines from Other Regions via En Primeur

More and more top estates outside Bordeaux are joining the pre-sale system via the Place de Bordeaux. Think of:

- Ornellaia (Masseto) and Antinori (Solaia) from Italy
- Opus One and Insignia from Napa Valley
- Catena Zapata and Seña from South America

 

A major advantage of these pre-sales is that delivery often takes place just a few weeks after the pre-sale period. For instance, a wine like Masseto might become available as En Primeur in September and be delivered by the end of October. During this brief window, prices can be particularly attractive – and you won’t have to wait long.

 

Aging Potential and Value Growth

Many Bordeaux wines and other top wines sold via En Primeur offer impressive aging potential. Premium wines can easily age for 30 to 50 years, with some exceptions aging even longer. As bottles become rarer over time, their market value often increases. This makes early purchasing especially appealing for both collectors and investors.

Wine comes in every style and flavor. At Grandcruwijnen you’ll find more than 3,000 bottles. Classics, surprises, and rare gems. A world of taste in one place.

Wines from the most famous wine countries

At Grandcruwijnen you’ll find wines from France, Italy, and Spain, but also from Germany, Switzerland, and Chile. Whether you’re looking for a powerful Bordeaux, a crisp Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire, or an elegant Nebbiolo from Piedmont, you can find it all in one overview. That diversity makes our collection so exciting. You can keep tasting and comparing without getting bored.

Red wine for every moment

Red wine remains the heart of the cellar for many wine lovers. Classic wines like Rioja and Barolo stand next to modern blends from Chile and Argentina. Light and fruity or full and bold, there’s always a style that fits your taste or dish. Thanks to the wide selection, it’s easy to vary and find new favorites.

White wine in every style

From crisp, citrus-driven wines from cool climates to rich, oak-aged Chardonnays, the choice is huge. Think of German Rieslings with lively acidity or a Chenin Blanc from the Loire with more roundness. Fans of aromatic grapes like Gewürztraminer or Grüner Veltliner will also feel at home. The nice part: you’ll always find something that fits the season or your mood.

Sparkling wine and champagne

A festive moment often calls for bubbles. The sparkling wine page includes a mix of well-known champagnes, refined cavas, and surprising crémants. Prosecco is also there, as well as some unique sparkling wines from lesser-known regions. Perfect for a toast or simply when you’re in the mood for something fresh and lively.

Rosé and lighter styles

Rosé is no longer just for summer. From Provence to Tavel and from pale salmon pink to deeper-colored styles, the choice is wide. Whatever your taste - dry and crisp or a fruitier style - there’s always something to enjoy. A great way to alternate between white and red.

Special wines and sweet styles

Next to the classics, there’s also space for sweet wines like Sauternes or Tokaji, and fortified wines such as Port and Sherry. This completes the selection and makes it easy to try something different. Especially with desserts or cheese, these wines can finish a meal beautifully.

Order wine online?

All wines are safely stored in our conditioned Wine Warehouse. When ordering through Grandcruwijnen you can choose delivery or pickup. If you select ‘Pickup’ during checkout, you’ll immediately see the discount. That way, ordering online is not only convenient but also extra rewarding.
