Keeper
of vintages.

20, Place Carnot — 21 200 Beaune

In the heart of Beaune, a stone’s throw from the Hospices, a boutique where time seems suspended. People come here to find wines long since drunk elsewhere — sometimes ones that have vanished altogether.

For more than fifteen years, Bernard and Étienne Hervet have been offering bottles laid down to rest, chosen with exacting care. They are presented at perfect maturity, at the moment they give their finest.

Here, wine is passed on as knowledge — an authentic, educational and passionate experience.

The legendary
vintages.

Some reach back to the inter-war years, others mark the turn of the 21st century. Here are a few years that have shaped the history of our region.

1926 The matriarch
1934 The balanced
1949 The reborn
1953 The discreet
1962 The excellent
1978 The miracle
1985 The fleshy
1991 The miser
2002 The mellow
2019 The sunlit

... and many more available in our collection.

All the finest climats
of Burgundy.

Including the most sought-after grands crus, from Chablis to Rully, by way of Vosne-Romanée or Meursault.

... and a few unique terroirs from other wine regions and countries.

Two origins,
one same standard.

Forty years spent in the world of wine have taught us one thing : the provenance of a bottle matters as much as the wine itself. Each bottle is authenticated, its storage verified, its path retraced, before joining our collection.

i.
Direct allocations
from the domaines

Bottles coming directly from Burgundy’s most prestigious wineries, which we patiently cellar and release at maturity.

ii.
Private cellars
of enthusiasts

Held for decades by collectors of Burgundy or bordering regions, never once travelling, these bottles have grown rare — at times impossible to find, always carrying emotion. They come to us so that one day they may be shared and savoured.
