Long-term Pre-arrival Items
Long Term Pre-arrival Definition: Ordering wine directly through us from our supplier partners in Europe in advance of the item’s physical arrival in the US.
Long Term Pre-arrival sales ensure you’re getting the best possible price and that you have also secured the product before it hits the normal retail supply chain. The lead time for Pre-arrival goods is generally 4–8 months, sometimes longer based on supply chain and the logistics of transporting goods overseas. The expectation, from our team, is to communicate to the customer the location of their purchase every step of the way.
This product is offered as a full case purchase option, minimum order quantities may be applicable. When available, multiple case options will be presented. If you are purchasing a Pre-Arrival item you must order a solid case.

Sustained heat waves with above-average temperatures and a lack of rain in critical periods were less than ideal. The château waited for better conditions to arrive for producing Yquem, but they never did. By the time that was obvious, it was too late to make more Ygrec, which might have been possible with different decisions at the beginning of harvest. Of course, hindsight is always 20/20.
