2009 Bordeaux En Primeur
The 2009 En Primeur is still some way off but expectations are already running high and it is clear some wines will be very difficult to get hold of - especially the big boys!
Obviously we want to offer our clientele first choice on the highly sought after 2009 wines, and so we are, for the first time, introducing 2009 En Primeur vouchers to our customers.
- During the purchasing process of the voucher on line, you will have space to tell us of your preferred wine/wish list. You can see a list of the Bordeaux classifications by clicking here to pick and choose your preference.
- Customers who purchase these vouchers will be given special preference in our allocations for 2009 En Primeur wines.
- Customers who make a purchase will have online access to the exclusive En Primeur unique Personal Portfolio Tracker (PPT). Using this powerful tool you will be able to administer your account, see all your transactions, view your up-to-date investment status (in great detail) and receive immediate SMS/email notification as En Primeur wines are released.
- Just in case your circumstances change, you can ask for return of the sum invested excluding the top-up (no questions asked). Please note that a written notification has to be sent to us at least 60 days before the release of the voucher sum to your account. The above is applicable up to the point at which the voucher has been redeemed. During the above period you can always redeem the voucher value (excluding the top-up) as a whole or in parts in exchange for products in our online shop.
The textbook weather conditions in 2009 were so perfect that "It is difficult to find comparisons. You have to go back to the climatology of the 40s to find, perhaps, comparable conditions; nature has been exceptionally kind to us." - Denis Dubourdieu, director of the Bordeaux Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences and a renowned winemaker.
"Already in 2005 I thought I was a lucky man to see such exceptional grapes in my lifetime. Now it seems that I may be lucky twice. The weather patterns of the two years were very similar but, if anything, the cool nights in September could make 2009 even better." - Alfred Tesserson, proprietor and manager of Chteau Pontet-Canet.
