The Finest Wines

First Growths

The 1855 Bordeaux Classification stands as a pivotal moment in the history of wine. Emperor Napoleon III decreed that the Left Bank Bordeaux wines be split into five distinct tiers, a decision aimed at facilitating the discernment of the finest wines for visitors to the inaugural World’s Fair. While these wines collectively hold a prestigious title, each one of them distinctly showcases its individuality through the unique terroir and time-honored traditions of their respective origins. The production of these bottles adheres to stringent regulations, driven by an insatiable market demand that renders them exceedingly challenging to obtain without a trusted source. With our Provenance Guarantee, we boast an impeccable inventory featuring the most exclusive and sought-after First Growths, revered by connoisseurs worldwide.
