SoDivin Releases Magnum Stock List Led by a 1990 Lafite at €2,375

French fine-wine merchant SoDivin has issued a new stock list focused on magnums, offering large-format bottles from 1962 through 2022 across Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Rhône Valley, Champagne, Languedoc and Provence.

The offer was circulated Tuesday in a client email under the subject line “Magnums selection.” The company said the list covers bottles stored ex cellar and priced without VAT. It also said high-definition photos of each bottle are available online or on request by email or WhatsApp, and that it can ship the same day for orders placed before 2 p.m., with next-day delivery to eligible destinations.

The selection ranges from recent, lower-priced southern French wines to rare older bottles from top estates. At the entry end of the list, SoDivin offered a 2022 Mas Bruguière L’Arbouse Magnum from Pic Saint-Loup for €40.00, with one bottle available, and a 2020 Mas Bruguière La Grenadière Magnum for €58.33, with two bottles in stock.

The list also included a 2011 Clos des Papes Magnum from Châteauneuf-du-Pape at €179.17, with six bottles available.

Several notable Bordeaux wines appeared in the midrange and upper end of the offer. SoDivin listed a 2017 Carruades de Lafite Magnum from Pauillac at €458.33, with three bottles available, and a 2017 Château La Mondotte Magnum from Saint-Émilion at €291.67.

A 2014 Domaine Prieuré Roch Vieilles Vignes Magnum from Nuits-Saint-Georges was listed at €1,295.83, with two in stock.

Quantities on most lines were low, often between one and six bottles, indicating a tightly held inventory of older large formats. Some references appeared in only a single bottle, including the 1990 Château Lafite Rothschild, the 1986 Château Cheval Blanc, the 2002 Dom Pérignon, and the 2017 Domaine Anne Gros Echezeaux. A few wines had slightly deeper availability, such as the six magnums of 2015 Philipponnat Cuvée “1522” and the six magnums of 2011 Clos des Papes.

The company said bottles are “precisely described and illustrated” through high-quality photos and that transport is handled with specialized protective packaging. The email also directed buyers to a downloadable Excel stock list and a broader online magnum catalog.
