Wines Premier Cru are portfolio sales specialists. From your first evaluation to funds in your account, our process is deliberately uncomplicated - and you're paid before your wine moves.
Send us details of your holdings and we'll produce a full portfolio evaluation, completely free of charge. Using the latest market analytics, it clearly sets out the value of every wine within the current market - and a portfolio manager will talk it through with you.
If you wish to sell some or all of your portfolio, we market your wines to our global network of private buyers and trade partners - through direct trades, spot offers to international markets and platforms including Liv-ex, the world's largest fine wine exchange.
Once you've confirmed receipt of funds, we issue full transfer instructions for your case or cases. We simply ask that you arrange a swift release. Where necessary, one of our trusted couriers will collect and deliver on your behalf.
Once a sale is confirmed you'll be issued a purchase order at the agreed value. Payment terms are confirmed with you in advance, with funds deposited in full to an account of your choosing. The exact timeframe may vary, but it will never exceed 30 days from the date of our purchase order.
Blue-chip Bordeaux and Burgundy have been our speciality since 2008, but our buyer network reaches far wider. If it's fine and well stored, we'd like to see it.

Fair prices and prompt payment. I sent over my portfolio on Monday and had an evaluation call booked the next day. Wines are collected and payment is received within a week.
This market is unregulated and I would not be comfortable dealing with many agents, but Wines Premier Cru were different. I've had an excellent association with them for several years.
I have always found the staff courteous and helpful whenever I have had any queries - prompt in replying, transferring funds and more. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
Excellent service and communication. The team were always available when I needed their support and advice.
Share your holdings in whatever form you have them. A portfolio manager will review every line against current market data and walk you through the figures.
