The idea behind the mark

Seven parcels. The seventh is yours.

In Burgundy, one walled vineyard may be divided among several owners, each with close knowledge of their own parcel. Our mark draws on that idea. Its seven parcels represent the standards behind our work. The seventh, set apart, belongs to the client.

  1. I. Close knowledge.

    We look beyond the label to the vineyard, vintage, producer, condition and market.

  2. II. Provenance first.

    Before value comes provenance: where the wine has been, how it was stored and who handled it.

  3. III. Access through relationships.

    Long-standing relationships with estates, merchants and auction houses can open doors beyond the public market.

  4. IV. Judgment, explained.

    Every recommendation comes with the reasoning behind it, stated clearly.

  5. V. Wine belongs at the table.

    A cellar should be enjoyed. We plan what to open as carefully as what to keep.

  6. VI. Discretion is assumed.

    Your cellar, decisions and conversations remain private.

  7. VII. Your interests come first.

    Our role is clear. We do not own stock or accept commissions, and we disclose any producer relationship that is relevant to our advice.
