Our Benefits

The "Nos Allocations " collection features wines produced in extremely limited quantities, which we are able to source thanks to our direct, long-standing relationships with the winemakers. These wines are not always available: we are allocated a limited number of bottles each year—sometimes as few as a handful.

Once a allocation is sold out, it is often impossible to renew it until the next vintage—or perhaps not at all. These wines are among the most sought-after, both for their quality and their rarity.

What is a "allocation" in the world of wine?

An allocation refers to a quantity set aside in advance by a winery for a wine merchant or distributor. It generally applies to highly sought-after vintages produced from small plots, old vines, or limited-production batches.

Winemakers choose whom to entrust their wines to, often giving priority to trusted partners who can showcase their work and respect the spirit of the wine. Receiving an allocation is therefore, above all, a sign of recognition and trust.

Why are these wines so sought after?

The wines offered through the allocation program are distinguished by:

Very limited production, sometimes just a few hundred bottles.
Meticulous work in the vineyard and in the cellar, often using traditional methods.
A strong sense of terroir and vintage.
Demand far exceeds available supply.

These vintages are often reserved for connoisseurs, enthusiasts, or collectors, but they remain accessible to anyone who wishes to enjoy a unique tasting experience.

A rapidly changing selection

The "Nos allocations" collection is, by its very nature, fleeting. The wines can sell out quickly—sometimes in just a few days. Each vintage is different, each new arrival is unique, and some cuvées may never be available again.

This is the perfect collection for those who enjoy discovering rare wines, following a winery’s progress over several years, or seizing an opportunity when it arises.

Tasting tip

Wines from allocated lots often benefit from being tasted with care. Take the time to read the product description, follow the serving recommendations, and—for certain vintages—consider letting them age to reveal their full complexity.
