Collector’s Edition Details
- Collector’s Edition members will continue to receive two shipments of wine per year from us.
- The spring shipment will be the same six-bottle selection that all VINsiders receive.
-
The fall shipment, in which we traditionally include the upcoming vintages of Esprit de Beaucastel and Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc, will be increased to a case by the inclusion of six additional bottles:
- 2 bottles of a library vintage of Esprit de Beaucastel
- 1 bottle of a library vintage of Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc
- 2 additional bottles of the upcoming release of Esprit de Beaucastel
- 1 additional bottle of the upcoming release of Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc
- We will select the library vintages each summer based on the results of a library tasting, whose results we will post on our blog.
- As the resulting fall shipment will consist of twelve bottles, members will receive all the wines at the additional 5% case discount.
- Also, as the shipment will include at least six bottles of Esprit de Beaucastel wines, the collection will be shipped at no charge.
- We will make available a small quantity of the library wines for re-orders.
