Buying En-Primeur (Pre-Release)

Buying En Primeur

Buying En Primeur means securing your wine while it’s still ageing in barrel, before it’s bottled and released.

In simple terms, it’s a great way to access sought-after wines early, often at better prices, and with the reassurance of knowing exactly where your wine has come from. It also gives you the chance to secure limited bottles that may not be available later, follow your favourite producers vintage by vintage, or even mark a special moment with something to open in years to come. You can also request different bottling formats, from magnums to half bottles, depending on what suits you best.

Why Buy Through Dunell’s?

We’ve been doing this a long time, and when you’re buying wine that won’t arrive for a while, trust matters. At Dunell’s, we keep things simple. Good wines, reliable service, and a team that genuinely cares about what ends up in your glass. Because peace of mind is always worth more than saving a few pounds.

The Practical Bits

Our En Primeur prices include Jersey duty and GST. Delivery to UK bond or other addresses can be arranged, with additional freight at cost.

There are no storage charges while wines remain at the château. Once they arrive in Jersey, we’ll contact you to arrange delivery or storage.
