Wine culture and in particular high-quality wines have always been our great passion. As good friends and accompanied by a team of proven experts, we visit the best winegrowers in the Burgundy region several times a year. We take the time, exchange ideas with them, wander through the vineyards, listen to explanations about "Lieus Dits" and then taste the wonderful "Gouttes d’Or" on site in the best wine cellars of Burgundy.
Then our “Comité d’achat” advises under the direction of our senior wine expert Walter Nack. With his over 40 years of experience in Burgundy, he knows pretty much all appellations and different vineyards in details. We make decisions as a team and then the wines are picked from the "domaines" and imported directly from the winegrowers to the Principality of Liechtenstein or Switzerland.
Since we like to share these treasures with our friends, we ensure that these great wines remain affordable and accessible to us and our demanding and exclusive customers. Through well-groomed alliances with winemakers, dealers, wine clubs and sommeliers from all over the world, we work every day to ensure sustainable access to the fantastic world of Burgundy wines.

Manuel previously bought and sold companies as a “mergers&acquisitions” specialist. He now even more passionately trades with wine. A seemingly similar business. You have to maintain a good relationship with sellers - i.e. the winegrowers - and then search for the suitable buyers. A Montrachet or Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is not valued by everybody - finding the right "connaisseurs" is key. Never did he have such much fun. His spirit and soul is completely focused on exploring these wonderful wines. Fortunately, he sometimes keeps himself mentally fit by investing or giving lectures to his students. Vinum vitae in corpore sano.

The passionate discovering, dealing with these wonderful products, contact with the winegrowers, the production and collecting of these high-quality wines has been fascinated for decades. «I made my long-term hobby my new calling! It fulfills me with great joy when I can do private tasting with my friends who love Burgundy wines.
