We are delighted to announce a new partnership with Bordeaux Index, one of the world’s leading fine wine and spirits merchants. What began as the passion of a few wine and spirits lovers in 1997 has grown into one of the most influential names in the fine wine trade. Bordeaux Index set out to redefine how wine is bought and sold, combining unrivalled access to the rarest and finest bottles, exceptional client service, and cutting-edge trading technology. Now operating globally, they guide collectors and investors in building truly world-class portfolios. We also recommend Bordeaux Index for bonded storage, with facilities such as Octavian providing the ultimate environment to protect provenance, security, and long-term value.
For us at Sorrells, this collaboration is a natural fit. Where we bring generations of craftsmanship and design expertise to building bespoke cellars, Bordeaux Index provides unrivalled access to the world’s greatest wines and whiskies. Together, we can offer our clients a seamless experience, from the creation of a physical cellar space to the curation and long-term management of the collection inside.
Bordeaux Index operates at the forefront of fine wine and spirits trading. Their business spans several key areas:
This breadth of service makes them more than a merchant, they are a long-term partner in building, curating, and protecting the finest collections.
At its core, a cellar is about creating the right conditions to preserve and protect fine wine. Temperature, humidity, light, and vibration must all be carefully controlled to ensure bottles mature as the winemaker intended. For this reason, every Sorrells cellar is designed to maintain an optimal.
Bordeaux Index complements this approach by advising clients on which wines to place in their home cellar and which to store professionally in bond. This balance allows collectors to enjoy immediate access to bottles for drinking, while safeguarding investment-grade wines in long-term storage at Octavian, the world’s most secure fine wine facility.
For our clients, the benefits of this collaboration are clear:
As David notes, collecting wine should never be intimidating:
“Wine is meant to be enjoyed. Having a cellar at home makes your collection tangible, part of your daily life. It means that when the right moment arises, you don’t just talk about your wines, you open them.”
Looking Ahead
