Special website: https://store.terradawinemarket.com/campaign/primeur

TERRADA WINE MARKET is an online wine store with only a few highly desirable selected importers and liquor shops. Today, Warehouse TERRADA is pleased to announce that we have commenced the special sale of Bordeaux Primeur, an extremely rare wine in Japan, in cooperation with TOKUOKA CO., LTD., a pioneer of Primeur sales in Japan, and Legrand & Co., a renowned wine merchant from France. Primeur is an exclusive purchase method unique to the Bordeaux region for pre-ordering wine that is still aging in the barrel.* While there are generally multiple wine distribution channels from winemakers, importers, wholesalers and retailers, Primeur wine ensures delivery via the most direct route from chateaux to consumers, hence the wine will be purchased at its paramount condition.

It has been said that 2018 was a great vintage year, and with the crop yield quite scarce, the prices are expected to be high. Also, prior purchasing the primeur can be stored in TERRADA WINE STORAGE, our online wine storage service which stores wine from 90 yen per bottle per month.

Warehouse TERRADA continues to enrich your life with wine by offering one-stop service from purchasing to storing and managing.

It was a fully mature great vintage. Due to ample rainfall during the winter and early summer, and the temperature increased, a large amount of mildew grew, which seriously damaged grapes causing the crop yields to be on a minimum, however, after a long spell of hot and dry weather during the end of summer to the harvesting season, it resulted in high quality grape with the smaller number of clusters, the smaller size, the darker color, and the healthier condition. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc were undoubtedly marvellous, as well as the Merlot also quite superb. Making it a well balanced solid vintage year.

The word “Primeur” means “young wine still in a barrel” in French. The grape of the wine is harvested in Fall and will be ready to ship after 2-3 years. (In case of the 2018 vintage, it will be shipped in 2018 and thereafter.) “Bordeaux Primeur” which are wines that will be bottled to the open market in the future are available to pre-order. The benefits of “Bordeaux Primeur” are that the price of wine are much competitive compared to the market listed price, and popular wines are are much more accessible for purchase from “Bordeaux Primeur.” Bordeaux Primeur was originally established to obtain funds as early as possible by winemakers but has become a traditional calendar event in spring every year.
