The Club offers two options; Premier Cru and Grand Cru. Feel free to sign up for one or both options to ensure that you do not miss out on the opportunity of purchasing some of the worlds greatest wines. The key features of each option are;
Premier Cru
Receive, every two months, three bottles of wine (one white and two red) priced between £10 to £20 per bottle, complete with tasting notes, food and wine matching advice and recommended drinking dates. Initially you will be charged for these bottles which can be collected from our Chipping Campden shop or delivered at a cost of £9.95 within the UK, (excluding Highlands and Islands).
If you subsequently order any of these wines by the case you will be charged for eleven bottles only, hence the original sample bottle is effectively free of charge. The wines in this option are likely to offer good drinking now, however they will also develop further complexity with cellarage.
Grand Cru
No samples are despatched with this option but you will receive an offer of up to six wines every two months (a maximum of three white and three red), complete with tasting notes, food and wine matching advice and recommended drinking dates. The wines featured in this option are in the price bracket £20 to £50 per bottle and are very much aimed at the wine drinker wishing to lay wines down for a minimum of five years. There is no commitment to take any of the wines offered and many of them are likely to be available in bond as well as duty paid. There is a £25.00 joining fee on this scheme but it is fully refundable on your first purchase.
