The communicated prices for the seasonal packages ("L'Accord" and "Le Virtuose") are based on calculations for the 2026 season. Since we work with nature, vintages can vary in quantity and quality, which occasionally necessitates price adjustments.
Our fairness promise: Should we need to adjust prices, we will inform you at least 6 weeks before the next payment and delivery. This gives you enough time to decide whether you want to continue with us.

We see the "Cercle" as a year-long journey. The autumn package (focusing on our top wine, Sarabande , and often presented in a wooden box) has a higher value than the spring package, purely from a cost perspective. We compensate for this through a consistent flat rate. In spring, you essentially pay a small advance for the great experience you'll enjoy in autumn. At the end of the year, everything balances out perfectly for you – providing maximum financial predictability.

Your season fee will be automatically debited approximately 2 to 4 weeks before the scheduled shipping date .
The reason: This gives us the assurance that we can reserve your allocation (especially for rare wines), individually assemble the packages, and prepare the shipping process without any hassle. Once payment is confirmed, the wine is yours.

We use the secure infrastructure of Shopify Payments. You can conveniently pay by credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), PayPal, or Apple Pay/Google Pay. Of course, you will receive an invoice with VAT shown separately via email after every booking.

No. We believe that true enjoyment is best achieved through voluntary participation. While your membership renews automatically to maintain your status and discounts, it can be cancelled annually . You can also pause deliveries individually if your cellar is full or you're on vacation. Simply contact us or adjust your settings in your customer account.

Wine logistics is a hands-on process. We pack securely in specialized boxes and ship directly from the château in France. To keep our wine prices transparent, we charge a reduced service fee of just €10.00 per delivery . This amount goes entirely to the logistics provider for packaging and insurance and is therefore excluded from club discounts.

Our wine club's automated shipping currently focuses on the European Union.

• Zone Core (10.00 € shipping fee): Germany, Austria, France, Benelux, Italy, Spain, Portugal.
• Zone Extended (€15.00 shipping fee): Scandinavia (DK, SE, FI) and Eastern Europe (PL, CZ, SK etc.).

I live in Switzerland, Great Britain, Asia, or the Americas. Can I still become a member?
Yes, we almost always find a way! However, due to customs regulations, these destinations cannot be processed automatically through the shop.
Please send us a brief message with your place of residence and the desired club model (L'Accord or Le Virtuose). We will gladly create a customized offer for manual shipping.

That depends on your model:

• Model "L'Accord": Delivery is in a shatterproof standard shipping carton.
• Model "Le Virtuose": You will receive our 3-piece original wooden box (OHK) in both spring and autumn.
• Exception: If you choose the magnum option in autumn, we will ship it in a reinforced premium carton for physical reasons (the bottle is too wide for the 3-pack box).

We decide that – based on the perfect drinking window . We're not a supermarket that sells the latest vintage just because it's available. It's possible that in one shipment we might send you a mature vintage (e.g., for braised dishes) and a younger, fruit-forward vintage (for BBQ). You'll always receive wines that are enjoyable right now .

Wine is an experience that is enhanced by knowledge. That's why, in addition to our annual magazine, we include a high-quality, printed data sheet with every wine shipment. It contains precise tasting notes, technical details, and our personal recommendations for the perfect food pairing.

How does the allocation process work for rare items? (The cascade principle)
Since our top wines (Magnums, Icon wines, white wines) are unfortunately very limited, we allocate them according to a fair cascade system:

1. Status "L'Opus": Members of our highest tier enjoy absolute priority. Their requests (e.g., Magnum option) will be fulfilled first.
2. Status "Le Virtuose": The remaining quota will then be allocated to the "virtuosos".
3. Seniority (membership number): If demand within a status group exceeds supply, the date of joining (seniority) will be the deciding factor.

In short: As a "L'Opus" member, you secure the best possible access to our treasure trove.

Since our club is limited to 1,000 members, in case of scarcity (e.g., the allocation of the iconic "Allemande" wine starting in 2027), your loyalty will determine your availability. Those who have been members longer (lower membership number) will receive priority. Your membership number will be revoked upon cancellation.
