En Primeur
"En Primeur" or "wine futures", is a method of purchasing wines early while a vintage is still in a barrel, offering the customer the opportuniy to invest in a particular wine before it is bottled. Payment is made at an early stage, a year or 18 months prior to the official release of a vintage.
A possible 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. However, that is not guaranteed.
The wines most commonly offered en primeur are from Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Rhône Valley and Port, although other regions are adopting the practice.

We have the following wines still available from our allocations of the excellent 2009 clarets. If you have yet to order any for your cellar, then I would urge you not to miss out at this stage. The vintage has produced some wonderful wines and they will provide magnificent drinking over the coming years. Please let us know as soon as possible if you would like to secure some of these wines.
