SoDivin Lists a 2005 La Tâche for €6,250 in Its July Fine-Wine Offer

A French fine-wine merchant has released a July stock list that offers a clear view of the current secondary market for collectible bottles, with inventory ranging from a 2023 Domaine Gauby La Foun to a 1943 Château Doisy Daëne Sauternes. The offer comes from SoDivin, a retailer based in Aigues-Vives in southern France, which said the wines are fully in stock and available for same-day shipping before 2 p.m. with express delivery and specialized packaging.

The list spans 80 years of vintages, from 1943 to 2023, and includes bottles from Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Rhône Valley, Champagne, Alsace, the Loire Valley, Languedoc-Roussillon, Tuscany and Port. Prices are listed excluding value-added tax and quoted ex-cellar in euros, a standard format in European wine trading that means transport and taxes are not included in the base price.

At the top end of the selection is a 2005 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche at €6,250 per bottle, one of the highest-priced wines on the sheet and a sign of continued demand for blue-chip Burgundy. Other notable Burgundy entries include 2015 Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche at €750, 2015 Domaine Georges Roumier Les Cras Chambolle-Musigny at €650 and 1997 Olivier Leflaive Montrachet at €600. A 1990 Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Musigny Grand Cru is listed at €1,875.

Bordeaux is heavily represented, especially from strong benchmark vintages such as 2010, 2000 and 1990. Among the most expensive bottles are 2000 Château Mouton Rothschild at €2,100, 2000 Château Ausone at €979.17 and 1989 Château Cheval Blanc at €650. The list also includes mature classified-growth wines that remain more accessible by comparison, such as 2010 Château Giscours at €100, 2007 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande at €140 and 1988 Château Cos d’Estournel at €165.

The Rhône section includes both recent and mature wines from leading producers. A single bottle of 2010 Château Rayas Rouge Châteauneuf-du-Pape is offered at €1,250. Côte-Rôtie appears several times, including 2018 Domaine Jamet at €150, 2017 Domaine Christophe Pichon La Comtesse en Côte Blonde at €91.67 and 2004 Guigal La Landonne at €325. Cornas is represented by a 2010 Auguste Clape magnum at €595.83.

Champagne listings include prestige cuvées with age. Krug Vintage 2002 is priced at €620, Bollinger R.D. Extra Brut 1996 at €383.33 and Dom Ruinart Brut 1998 at €237.50. The selection also includes a 2016 Pascal Agrapart Grand Cru Minéral at €125.

The Loire Valley entries show demand for both sweet Chenin Blanc and rare Cabernet Franc bottlings. Domaine Huet appears repeatedly with Vouvray moelleux wines from 2018 back to 1947. The oldest Loire bottle on the list, a 1947 Domaine Huet Le Haut-Lieu Moelleux Vouvray, is priced at €720.83. Clos Rougeard is present with several sought-after wines, including 2011 Le Bourg Saumur-Champigny at €354.17 and 2006 Brézé Saumur at €258.33.

Alsace producers also feature prominently in younger vintages. Domaine Marcel Deiss lists several grand cru wines from 2023 and 2019, while Domaine Marc Kreydenweiss offers Wiebelsberg Riesling from both 2021 and 2020. These bottles sit in a lower price band than many Bordeaux or Burgundy icons, with prices mostly between €32.50 and €75.

Southern French wines make up an important part of the offer as well. Domaine Gauby appears across multiple vintages from IGP Côtes Catalanes, including La Muntada and Vieilles Vignes. Clos Marie, Alain Chabanon, Mas Jullien and Domaine Peyre Rose also appear on the list, showing continued merchant attention to Languedoc-Roussillon estates that have built reputations among collectors over the past two decades.

Italy is represented by Brunello di Montalcino and Barbaresco. San Polino Brunello di Montalcino 2016 is listed at €75, La Rasina Brunello di Montalcino 2015 at €70.83 and Bruno Giacosa Rabajà Barbaresco 2004 at €379.17. Port appears through a single historic bottle, Niepoort Vintage Porto 1955 at €1,550.

Bottle formats vary beyond standard size. Several magnums are included, such as 2017 Château La Mondotte Magnum, 2010 Auguste Clape Magnum Cornas and 1986 Château Cheval Blanc Magnum Saint-Émilion. Larger formats often command higher prices because of their rarity and aging potential.

Quantities differ sharply across references, which suggests a mix of deep stock in some labels and one-off opportunities in others. Some wines are available in double-digit quantities, including 34 bottles of 2015 Château Léoville Poyferré and 24 bottles of 2022 Château Certan de May. Others are limited to one bottle, including the Rayas 2010, the Romanée-Conti La Tâche 2005 and several older Bordeaux and Rhône wines.

The merchant says high-definition photos are available online or on request, reflecting how condition reporting has become central to long-distance fine-wine sales. For older bottles especially, buyers typically look for fill level, label condition, capsule state and storage history before committing to purchase.

The release also points to how European merchants continue to market mature wine globally through direct stock lists rather than only through auction houses or trading platforms. By combining recent releases with old vintages in one offer, retailers can appeal both to drinkers seeking current collectible wines and to buyers looking for bottles ready to open now.

The broad spread of appellations and prices shows a market that remains anchored by famous names but still leaves room for regional specialists and less publicized estates. On this list, entry points begin below €30 with wines such as the 2020 Domaine Alain Chabanon L’Esprit de Font Caude Languedoc at €27.50 and rise into four figures for top Burgundy, first-growth Bordeaux-level labels and rare sweet or fortified wines with long aging histories.

SoDivin said it has operated since 2001 as a specialist in fine wines and old vintages from its base in Aigues-Vives, near Nîmes in southern France. The company markets protected transport, express delivery and detailed bottle photography as part of its sales model for collectors buying remotely.
