Our Allowances

Our "Nos Allocations" collection brings together wines produced in extremely limited quantities , which we access through a direct and long-term relationship with the winemakers. These wines are not permanently available: they are allocated to us each year in limited numbers, sometimes by only a few bottles.

Once an allocation is exhausted, it is often impossible to renew it before the following vintage, or even at all. These wines are among the most sought-after, both for their quality and their rarity.

What is an allocation in the world of wine?

An allocation refers to a quantity reserved in advance by a winery for a wine merchant or distributor. It generally concerns highly sought-after wines, from small plots, old vines, or limited-production winemaking.

The winemaker chooses to whom they entrust their wines, often prioritizing trusted partners capable of showcasing their work and respecting the spirit of the vintage. Receiving an allocation is therefore primarily a mark of recognition and confidence.

Why are these wines so sought after?

The wines offered for allocation are distinguished by:

Very limited volumes, sometimes only a few hundred bottles.
Meticulous work in the vineyard and in the cellar, often done by hand.
A strong identity of terroir and vintage.
Demand far exceeds available supply.

These vintages are often reserved for knowledgeable amateurs, enthusiasts or collectors, but they remain accessible to all those who wish to experience a unique tasting experience.

A rapidly evolving selection

Our allocation collection is by nature ephemeral . Wines can disappear quickly, sometimes in just a few days. Each vintage is different, each arrival is unique, and some cuvées may never return.

This is an ideal collection for those who enjoy discovering rare wines, following the work of an estate over several years, or seizing an opportunity when it arises.

Tasting tip

Wines from allocated vineyards often benefit from careful tasting. Take the time to read the product information sheet, follow the serving suggestions, and, for certain vintages, consider aging them to fully reveal their complexity.
