The place
(de bordeaux)
to be

From the very start of our journey as a fine wine merchant, we earned. the trust of Bordeaux estates — followed by French producers, and eventually, winegrowers from across the globe. As a Bordeaux wine merchant house, we’ve become a key player on the Place de Bordeaux — a unique marketplace where wine estates, brokers and merchants collaborate closely.

Our new warehouse!

In early January 2026, Twins inaugurated its new storage cellar, the result of nearly three years of work. A truly state-of-the-art facility, it enhances our inventory control and our ability to meet the highest standards of excellence.
This ultra-modern 6,600 m² warehouse houses our 6,000 wine references, representing nearly 2 million bottles, in optimal storage conditions. Its design, which complies with ICPE standards, guarantees temperature control and energy self-sufficiency thanks to 150 photovoltaic panels.

Designed for performance, the cellar includes a labelling machine to meet the specific needs of the markets and a photo studio for quality control. Its wooden framework evokes the world of wine crates, while its strategic location on the outskirts of Bordeaux facilitates international trade.
Committed to sustainable development, the project favours low-impact materials, local biodiversity and reduced water and energy consumption.

Our new storage cellar is yet another element that will enable us to meet the challenges of the coming year

Statut Bordeaux

What is the
Place de Bordeaux
and the “En Primeur” system?

Each April, the leading Bordeaux estates present their wines while they are still ageing in barrels. A single release price is then set based by estates on various criteria — including vintage quality, estate reputation, and market conditions. Before summer, these châteaux release most of their annual production exclusively to selected Bordeaux négociants, who take on the role of promoting and distributing their wines globally.

Today, TWINS is proud to rank among the top five négociant houses in Bordeaux.

The “Petits Châteaux”

Since we always offer our customers the wines which best suit their needs, we also like to widen our horizons to include wines which are lesser-known, but nevertheless selected for their personality and their authenticity.

Crus Bourgeois, AOC Bordeaux, Bordeaux supérieurs and satellite appellations: the wines we call Petits Châteaux enable us to fulfil all our customers’ requirements, and also to act as an advisor.

It’s a story of men, and it always starts with a meeting.
We always try to find the best in each appellation.

This is how we have built for some markets our portfolio of French wines from outside Bordeaux: Paul Jaboulet Aîné, Château de Beaucastel, Château Sainte Roseline, in Provence, the Champagne JM Labruyère, Les Clavelles from Château La Nerthe, and a few other French gems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with TWINS and gaining access to our allocations of Bordeaux Classified Growths.

qu'est-ce qu'un négociant en vin

The Place de Bordeaux is the economic and commercial hub of the Bordeaux wine industry. Historically, as early as the 11th century, wine merchants purchased wines directly from estates, aged them in their own cellars, and then marketed them around the world.

Today, Bordeaux’s wine merchant houses remain at the heart of the market. Bordeaux wine merchants handle approximately two-thirds of all Bordeaux wine sales and export to more than 170 countries worldwide.

As key players in the international distribution of Bordeaux wines, merchants work in partnership with châteaux to bring Bordeaux Classified Growths, Champagnes, and iconic international wines to wine professionals across the globe.

Wine merchants, known as ‘négociants’, are key players within the Place de Bordeaux. A Bordeaux wine merchant selects, promotes, and markets estate wines through its distribution networks and across the markets it serves.

  • Market expertise
