Looking for En Primeur buyers who'd like to discuss why you buy EP!

Get Involved
#1

Hi all!

Our wonderful Brand Marketing Manager Rosie is putting together some great information around en primeur and would love to include some insight from the people who know it best - you guys!

We’re looking to speak to 3 or 4 members that use EP about why they love it - how they got started and what excites them about the idea of building up a cellar to be proud of.

Would anyone be interested in sending some thoughts to Rosie? Let me know in the next few days and I’ll gladly put a few of you in touch with her.

Looks like you instantly got your ‘3 or 4’ volunteers but for what it’s worth I would be interested too.

For info: I’m a moderate spending EP buyer generally spending between £100 and £200 per case of 6.

And another - I caught the bug in 2001 with the 2000 Bordeaux vintage. Cost me everything I earned in my summer job (aged 16…)

Another volunteer here. My first venture into en primeur was the iconic 1982 Bordeaux, so I might be the longest standing…

Well, I for one am an EP buyer not remotely interested in talking about why. Mainly because I suspect that if forced to really think about it, I’d conclude that it’s because I’m an idiot.

I was going to volunteer, but you seem to have plenty of willing members, way ahead of me. :clap:
Maybe next time? :+1: :wink: :dragon:

1982 was my first EP campaign too. I remember vividly trying to explain (aged 21) to my (non-wine drinking) parents the sense of buying wine that hadn’t been bottled and wouldn’t be drinkable for around 20 years. Of course the whole EP landscape is now unrecognisable from that in Spring 1983…

Regretfully not.
And anno domini is the the reason why from this year I am no longer buying my clarets EP.

Laura - I’m actually doing a research project on EP so I would love to have a chat with Rosie.
