About de Négoce
“As a negociant or wine trader, I’ve been sourcing and selling great wine from around the globe for over 20 years. My new de Négoce [day-NA-go-SHAY] platform offers you the opportunity to pre-purchase these wines before they go into the bottle. Known in the trade as En Primeur or futures, buying wine out of the barrel allows you to access pricing not seen since the 1970’s.

Of course, none of this operates without the crucial ingredient of trust. And while the phrase “trust me” stands perhaps a little tarnished in today’s world, I ask for your trust and promise every wine will be as represented in the offer.” - Cameron Hughes

So It’s A Négociation, Huh…

TASTING NOTES:
OG N.17 (CS) - “Intense notes of blackberry, cassis, and Bing cherry followed by layers of cigar box, toasty french oak and violets. Bold plum and ripe raspberry balanced with lively acidity and firm tannins usher in a flourish of vanilla and spice in a long, lingering finish. The tannins soften in the decanter adding subtle notes of brandied cherries and oiled leather.“ (AbV 14.4%)

OG N.24 (PN) - “Cherry red with a pretty violet purple edge. Leaps from the glass with black cherry, wild strawberry and rhubarb framed against spicy, peppery earth. Rich, ripe and silky across the palate but well supported with ample structure and delicate tannins. Fresh and spicy on the finish with hints of mushroom and herb…” (AbV 14%)

OG N.25 (CS) - “Graphite and violets halo perfumed cherry notes and a beam of pure raspberry fruit framed against savory, earthy tones of rocky clay, crushed rock, bell pepper, and seasoned oak. Blackberry and leather come out with air. Smooth and sophisticated on entry with elegant mouthfeel and subtle fruit framed against firm yet refined mountain tannins on the finish.” (AbV 14.2%)

OG N.30 (CS) - “Densely colored with aromas of blackcurrant, plum and blackberry mingling with shiitake mushroom, graphite and white flowers and just a kiss of brown sugar oak. Well proportioned, elegant and refined throughout with a creamy texture and silky sweet tannins…” (AbV 14.7%)

OG N.31 (Zin) - “The nose is bright with ripe raspberry, blackberry and warm baking spice aromas haloed with black pepper, vanilla and toasty, chocolatey oak notes from 30% new American oak barrels. Blueberry and cocoa come up with air. Plump and jammy fruit warm coat the palate but the underlying structure keeps this wine well-balanced[…] Berry and toasty oak finish are well-delineated in long and spicy finish.” (AbV 14.8%)

OG N.43 (CS) - “Black cherry, black currant, cigar box and fresh turned earth are framed against baking spice, dark chocolate and toasty oak. Generous yet seamless on the palate with layers of ripe plum and cherry framed against the ample grip of toasty, big-grained Oakville tannins. Tons of length in the finish with plenty of mouthwatering tension.” (AbV 14.7%)
