A passion for great wines
since 1893

Founded in 1983 by Peter Thustrup, we specialise in the trade of exceptional wines, rare or unobtainable vintages.

Our vocation is to find, select and offer mature wines to professionals and collectors around the world. Experts in fine wines, we offer bottles from the greatest estates.

Our founder:
Peter Thustrup

Originally from Sweden, Peter Thustrup was a wine enthusiast and a very experienced wine taster. He tasted and described over 56,000 wines.

He was behind many of the leading tastings in the world of wine: the Dreamtasting in Stockholm featuring all the Premiers Crus from 1929 to 1982, verticals of Pétrus (1945 to 1982) and Romanée-Conti (1929 to 2003) in France and Japan.

Today, we are the heirs to this expertise and the ambassadors of these stories.

Our wines are stored at Hillebrand in Beaune, Burgundy. This partnership enables us to store our wines in optimum conditions and to meet all requests efficiently.

The condition of a bottle reveals its history.
That’s why every bottle entering our warehouse undergoes a meticulous check: capsules, labels and levels…
