From 1901 to e-commerce: Comptoir des Vignobles brings the treasures of Saint-Emilion to life across time and the web.
Since its opening in 1986, the Comptoir des Vignobles wine cellar has established itself as an essential destination for collectors of rare wines. Today, the establishment is taking a new step forward: combining the preservation of century-old bottles—the oldest of which dates back to 1901—with the modernity of an online store launched two years ago.
Guardian of history: bottles from 1901 to the present day
Specializing since 1986 in a rigorous selection of Bordeaux wines and beyond, Comptoir des Vignobles boasts one of the region’s most fascinating collections. The highlight of the collection? Bottles dating back to 1901—true liquid witnesses to the last century—preserved under optimal conditions.
“Selling a 1901 wine means passing on an emotion that has endured through two world wars and decades of change in the vineyards. Our role is to be the custodians of this history,” says Frédéric Rousseau, the shop’s manager.
The digital challenge: shipping the exceptional
Two years ago, the shop took on a major challenge: making these treasures accessible with just a few clicks. The launch of the e-commerce site now allows collectors from around the world to acquire these old vintages.
This digital transformation is not merely an online shop; it is a platform that ensures traceability and secure delivery for bottles of extreme rarity.
Expertise recognised in Bordeaux and beyond
Established in the region since 1986, the shop remains a go-to destination for expert advice. This dual expertise—a deep knowledge of old vintages and a mastery of new distribution channels—makes Comptoir des Vignobles a unique player in the regional wine landscape.
