April 2008
We have published our vintage report and released a wish list of wines we intend to follow, subject to pricing and availability.
April-July 2008
As the châteaux release their wines, we make them available to order online, and send out email alerts as well as posting updates to our blog. Initial payments are processed immediately, and receipts issued.
July–August 2009
Châteaux begin to bottle their 2007 vintage.
Spring 2010
Châteaux start to release their wines for shipment to export markets. Upon confirmation of shipping dates, we write to customers to request their delivery instructions - either a bonded delivery account, or duty-paid delivery (in which case the release payment, to cover duty, VAT and handling becomes payable).
Summer 2010
For customers opting for duty-paid delivery, release payments are processed and cases are dispatched to Majestic stores, where the team will contact customers directly to arrange delivery or collection. Customers purchasing 'in-bond' will have their wine delivered direct to their account.
