En Primeur

En Primeur, also known as Wine Futures, refers to the process of buying wine before it’s bottled and released onto the market. Wines can only be purchased by the unmixed case (12 bottles, 24 half bottles, 6 magnums) and are usually delivered 2-3 years after the vintage.

  Red Burgundy Wines 2009 En Primeur 2010 Red Burgundy
Beautifully balanced wines in 2010, very classical, with much more red fruit than black. The wines which have just been bottled, or soon will be, have turned out to be something special.
