With this exclusive presale offer, you have the chance to secure an exquisite wine from one of Saint-Estèphe’s two Second Growth estates at a far friendlier price than you’d pay for its top wine.

How is this possible? Our Bordeaux expert, Jean-Marc Sauboua, has incredible connections across the region. So, when a highly renowned estate in Saint-Estèphe had a little surplus wine it wanted to quietly sell, he got the call. We promise discretion by signing an NDA, and our customers get a phenomenal wine at an insiders-only price.

L’Épiphanie de Saint-Estèphe is a rare, one-off parcel from “an estate that’s now routinely among Bordeaux’s very best, year in, year out” (The Wine Advocate). Their 2023 was widely considered the wine of the vintage, rated 100 points by a top critic and sold out completely on release—at over $200 a bottle. While this wine is not the Grand Vin, it comes from the same vineyards, is made by the same cellar team and receives the same meticulous attention to detail.

L’Épiphanie has all the hallmarks of fine Saint-Estèphe: Seductive aromas, luscious red fruit and spice flavors, a silky, balanced palate. Though drinking beautifully already, it will continue to develop complexity for years to come. It’s a wine that will make special occasions even more memorable, the kind you open at important dinners or give to dear friends or family members.

See details below and hurry—this will sell out quickly.
