A glass of red wine in a lush Bourgogne vineyard during summer.

Private Collection Francois Louis Vuitton

Born from a meeting of minds and heritage, this remarkable collection began in 2016, when our founder Patrick Bouey met Francois-Louis Vuitton — the fourth generation of the famed Vuitton family. Known among insiders as FLV, Francois-Louis brought to the partnership not only a prestigious name but a deep-rooted passion for wine and a discerning eye for the business of Grands Crus Classés.

His vision: to create a signature collection under his own label, working directly with some of the most esteemed estates in Bordeaux. Today, eleven Châteaux contribute select portions of their production to craft exclusive cuvées for the Francois-Louis Vuitton label — wines that strike a perfect balance between accessibility and prestige.  

Positioned between the estate’s Grand Vin and Second Label in both character and pricing, these wines offer remarkable value while maintaining a standard of excellence befitting their heritage. Refined, collectible, and distinctly FLV.

Château Lagrange La Collection Parcellaire

Also known as The Single Plot Wine  Collection, this is not merely a case of wine — it is a poetic immersion into the spirit of Saint-Julien.

La Collection Parcellaire is Château Lagrange’s tribute to time, soil, and Cabernet Sauvignon’s expressive depth. Limited to just 250 hand-numbered cases, this exceptional offering invites you on a sensorial journey through the estate’s finest terroirs.

Each elegant case includes six bottles:

  • Three vintages of Château Lagrange’s Grand Vin — 2016, 2019, and 2020 — each telling a story of harmony and heritage across time.
  • Three vintages of “Les Hauts Bois”, a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon expression from a single, celebrated plot — raw, powerful, and pure.

Together, they form a tasting dialogue: the wild beauty of a single plot, mirrored against the masterful blend of the Grand Vin. It’s an emotional, geographical, and gastronomic experience — one where craftsmanship and terroir sing in unison.

Presented in a collector’s box adorned with detailed vineyard maps, this is more than a wine set. It’s a celebration of land, lineage, and the subtle artistry of Bordeaux. Due to its extreme rarity, La Collection Parcellaire is typically only available through direct request to Château Lagrange or via select fine wine distributors like Palateur.  Est. $1100-$1300

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste Caisse Variation

The Caisse Variation from Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste offers a rare opportunity to explore the 2021 vintage across multiple bottle formats—from 750ml to 1500ml magnum to the 3000ml Jeroboam. This special collection highlights the château’s timeless Pauillac style, allowing enthusiasts to experience how format influences the wine’s aging and expression.

Crafted in a cooler, more traditional vintage, the 2021 reveals elegant blackcurrant fruit, graphite minerality, and refined tannins. Each format captures a different facet of the wine’s character—smaller bottles for early vibrancy, larger ones for age-worthy grace.

Ideal for collectors, gifting, or vertical tastings, this limited release celebrates Grand-Puy-Lacoste’s precision and consistency. It’s a sensory journey through one of Pauillac’s most admired estates—structured, expressive, and built to evolve beautifully over time. Est. $1300-$1600

Château d’Yquem 12 Vintage Vertical

On opening the case, you will be bowled over by the wealth of golden shades of these 12 vintages of Château d’Yquem, a monumental sweet white wine. For the first time ever, every single vintage from the great decade that was the 1980s is brought together in a single case.

This beautiful experience is the result of the trusted relationship that has existed between Palateur’s partner Twins and Château d’Yquem for many years. With this new accomplishment, the Bordeaux trading house is offering an original way to explore the unique world of this Sauternes Premier Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification.

This unique collection is aimed at wine enthusiasts, people who are already familiar with fine sweet wines and those who dream of exploring the magic of the finest wine of them all. A booklet using the chateau’s colours was created to support exploration of the 12 bottles.

It contains precise, concise tasting notes that will awaken the senses before the joy of tasting itself begins. Drawing on multiple vintages is the best way to appreciate the nuances of the legendary Château d’Yquem terroir and discover this 400-year-old Château d’Yquem.

Sassicaia Black Collector’s Case

Tenuta San Guido’s Sassicaia needs no introduction—it is the original “Super‑Tuscan,” the trailblazer of Bolgheri’s Cabernet style, and the only single‑estate Italian wine to earn its own DOC. Crafted by Nicolò Incisa della Rocchetta, a visionary who turned his family’s estate into a global icon, Sassicaia blends Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc to dazzling effect. The wine typically displays a deep ruby hue, layered aromas of cassis and dark berries, cedar, tobacco, and wild Mediterranean herbs, supported by fine-grained tannins and a long, mineral finish

The exclusive Black Collector’s Case is a celebration of Sassicaia’s legacy—a sleek, premium presentation that elevates an already prestigious bottling. While details on each release vary, these cases are typically limited-edition, finished in matte black with embossed branding, and often include numbered badges or certificates, crystal decanter sets, or engraved corkscrews. They’re created not just to protect the wine, but to underscore its collectability, making them highly sought after by connoisseurs and investors alike.

Inside the collector’s case, expect the current 750 ml vintage—such as the acclaimed 2020 or 2021—that boasts outstanding scores. The result is a complete sensory experience—not only savoring one of Italy’s most legendary wines but owning a piece of its storied heritage. Perfect for a high-end cellar or special celebrations. Limited Releases. Est. $2700-$3000
