Wine Storage

Provenance is key with regards to fine wine. The condition of wine plays a pivotal role in maintaining the value of your wine as much as your ultimate enjoyment of the wine. It is important to have your wines transported and stored in the correct conditions to maintain their provenance guarantee. We pay particular attention to every detail at every step to allow you peace of mind.

Le Clos fine wine storage

We have secured space for our customers’ reserves at LCB Eton Park, one of the UK’s top fine wine storage facilities, perfect for the storage of your wine collection, whether you want to drink or sell your wines.

Each wine entry at LCB Eton Park comes with its own unique rotation number to ensure your wines are not mixed up with others. These numbers will be shared with you once the wines have arrived in bond (landed).

Photography and condition reports are both possible, detailing individual bottles within cases if required and identified within the rotation numbers.

Le Clos storage charges

Le Clos’ competitive storage rates, guaranteed to the end of 2022, are as follows:

£10.95 per 9 litre case per annum

£5.95 per 4.5 litre case or part thereof per annum

Storage charges are calculated monthly per case of wine and billed in arrears every 6 months.

Example: 3 cases of 6x75CL bottles stored for a period of 3 months will be charged at £4.46.

There is no minimum charge with Le Clos. Storage charges are inclusive of insurance at replacement value and inclusive of any taxes.

Introductory storage offer – as a valued customer of Le Clos we will extend a credit to the value of 50% of your annual storage charge for the first 2 years, redeemable against purchases from any of our En Primeur and In-Bond offers. By effectively halving your storage bill you will have more to spend on wines with us.

Our new MyWines by Le Clos website will allow you to easily manage your wine collection across multiple cellars, offer estimated market valuations, help arrange deliveries, recommend your drinking windows, store your tasting notes and include producer profiles on not only your wines but thousands more.

In 2021 this will be further enhanced by a self-directed brokerage facility, which will allow you to put your wines up for sale. Le Clos will make the necessary logistics and payment arrangements for very competitive industry rates.

Change of ownership

If you wish to transfer ownership to another party without physical movement of the wines, the following process applies:

• Your account number
• A list of the wines with rotation numbers you wish to transfer
• Name and contact details of the transfer

There is a cost of £5 per wine.

Drinking dates are subjective, and it depends on how an individual appreciates wine. There is wide variation in the speed wines age and when they reach maturity and for how long they stay there. We provide conservative drinking windows to help you decide when the best time will be.

The best time to drink a wine often depends on personal tastes: essentially youthfulness versus developed characteristics. The dates we provide are designed as a guide and as suggested are normally cautious.

We also provide a description with our drink dates:

• Leave: should be left to mature longer to be properly appreciated.
• Improving: A wine entering its early drinkability stage but will improve further and offer greater enjoyment.
• Ready: a wine at maturity, expected to provide enjoyable drinking up to the ‘to’ date.
• Drink up: a wine that may be past its peak and we recommend consuming at the earliest opportunity to avoid disappointment.
