Our understanding of Bordeaux wines stems from years of experience. Ian Vanderhook founded Bordeaux UK in 2002 to take advantage of that expertise and expand upon it. We specialise in buying and selling fine wine exclusively from the Bordeaux region of France. We believe our knowledge of these fine wines is complemented by familiarity with the market. We live, breathe and drink these respected and fulfilling wines.
Bordeaux produces many of the world's greatest vintage wines. This region has produced fine wines since Roman times and is home to the best in French wine. Our team of merchants work with our clients to recommend the best wines, whether for investment and long term storage or immediate enjoyment. Our relationship with suppliers means that we have unrivalled access to some of the finest and rarest wines in the world.
The Bordeaux wine market has seen dramatic changes over the past 10 years with increased demand from China and Hong Kong. This surge of interest in investing in fine wine has lead to impressive price rises. Bordeaux UK actively monitors market prices and can supply detailed information to clients interested in fine Bordeaux wines as an investment.
Fine wine from Bordeaux takes many years to mature and can only reach its full potential when stored in perfect conditions. Failure to store wine properly may result in disappointment when the bottle is uncorked and could harm potential resale value. Any wine purchased from Bordeaux UK comes with a period of free storage. Your Personal Merchant will be on hand to help arrange or advise you on long term storage.
