What is En Primeur?
En Primeur, or ‘wine futures’, is a system that enables you to buy wine before it has been bottled and officially released to market. Typically, these wines are then delivered 2-3 years after vintage. For decades, LANGTONS has been renowned as Australia’s foremost En Primeur service provider. As our breadth and depth of offering expands we renew our commitment to securing the world’s greatest wines for our members.
How does it work?
First, our team tastes and assesses barrel samples to affirm quality and negotiate allocations. Second, we release the wines for sale and you will have the opportunity to purchase them. Third, after 2-3 years, the wines are bottled and shipped to our warehouse. Finally, the wines are shipped to you, or we can store them for you.
Why Buy En Primeur?
En Primeur is the favoured method of purchase for many people interested in building their fine wine collections. Whether buying for enjoyment or investment, En Primeur presents an invaluable opportunity to secure wines with perfect provenance at a price that’s almost always considerably lower than when officially released. Notably, En Primeur is sometimes the only way to access wines that are available in limited quantities.
Bordeaux En Primeur 2025
The 2025 Bordeaux vintage is defined by record-breaking summer heat that produced exceptionally small, concentrated berries, resulting in yields nearly 15% below average and a scarcity that will inevitably drive future market value. Investors should secure these allocations En Primeur to capitalize on the rare combination of 2022-style power balanced by a surprising, vibrant acidity that guarantees decades of aging potential. We guarantee your order for delivery in 2028, and you will not pay any additional taxes or exchange rates on arrival.
