What is THE VINTAGE?
Focus on vintage wine
As a wine shop specializing in French wines, we focus on the finest vintages from sophisticated winemakers.
The reasons behind this are: 1) the best wines are made from excellent grapes in years with favorable weather; 2) it is in such vintages that the winemaker's skill and terroir are revealed; and 3) good vintages are not necessarily more expensive than other vintages in terms of cost performance, and because wine is expensive, it is wise to choose a better vintage.
Careful maintenance
Our wines are stored in a temperature- and humidity-controlled warehouse 100 meters underground at Octavian Winery in the UK. Upon import, they are transported by sea in reefer containers, maintaining a low temperature. After shipping to Japan, they are also stored at SBS Logicom's Jonanjima warehouse, where they are also temperature- and humidity-controlled.
Timing management
In recent years, aging has been attracting attention in the area of fresh foods such as meat and fish, but in the world of wine, it takes a much longer time to mature before it is ready to drink. The speed of aging varies depending on factors such as grape variety, vintage, and winemaker, but we have created a product lineup that allows us to offer wines that are well-aged and ready to drink.
