A French fine-wine merchant is marketing a broad Languedoc selection that spans vintages from 1987 to 2023, highlighting the continued commercial demand for older bottles from one of southern France’s largest wine regions.
The offer, circulated by SoDivin, a merchant based in Aigues-Vives in southern France, lists dozens of wines from producers across Languedoc and neighboring appellations. The company says the wines are 100% in stock and available for same-day shipping with next-day delivery, using specialized packaging. It also says high-definition bottle photos are available online or on request.
The stock list shows a market that mixes recent releases with mature and rare bottles. Among the oldest wines offered are Mas de Daumas Gassac from 1987, 1989, 1990 and 1991, with ex-cellar prices ranging from €120.83 to €150 per bottle before value-added tax. Domaine Peyre Rose Clos Syrah Leone 1998 is listed at €129.17, while several 2009 Peyre Rose bottlings appear around €110 to €112.50.
At the top end of the price range, Domaine de la Grange des Pères stands out. The merchant lists the estate’s 2005 vintage at €325 before VAT, the 2016 at €320.83, the 2007 at €290 and the 2006 at €275. Other high-priced bottles include Château La Négly Clos des Truffiers 2016 at €225 and Domaine Gauby La Foun 2023 at €129.17.
The selection also includes a large number of wines from estates that have helped define modern Languedoc’s reputation among collectors and restaurant buyers. Clos Marie appears with Cuvée Simon, Les Glorieuses and Les Métairies du Clos Vieilles Vignes in vintages from 2011 to 2023. Domaine Alain Chabanon is represented by Le Merle Aux Alouettes, L’Esprit de Font Caude and Saut de Côte. Domaine Gauby is listed with La Muntada and Vieilles Vignes across several recent vintages.
Other names in the offer include Domaine du Clos des Fées, Domaine Les Aurelles, Mas Jullien, Roc d’Anglade, Mas Cal Demoura, Mas Bruguière and Domaine Alquier. Formats also vary beyond standard bottles. The list includes magnums from Domaine de Montcalmès, Mas Bruguière and Mas Jullien, reflecting demand from collectors and hospitality buyers looking for larger formats for cellaring or service.
Prices in the offer remain mostly quoted ex-VAT and ex-cellar in euros, which suggests the list is aimed at trade buyers as well as private collectors familiar with European wine logistics. Quantities are generally small for older vintages, often between one and six bottles, while newer wines sometimes show deeper availability. Domaine Les Aurelles Aurel Rouge 2017 is listed with 22 bottles, for example, while some older references such as Domaine Peyre Rose Clos des Cistes 2009 or Roc d’Anglade 2008 appear with only one bottle available.
The range illustrates how Languedoc has evolved from a volume-driven region into a source of collectible wines with secondary-market appeal. Estates such as Grange des Pères, Gauby, Peyre Rose and Mas de Daumas Gassac have long attracted international buyers because of limited production, aging potential and strong reputations outside France. Merchants specializing in mature stock have increasingly used detailed bottle photography, rapid shipping and direct digital communication to reassure buyers about provenance and condition.
SoDivin says it has specialized in fine wines and old vintages since 2001. In its sales message, the company emphasizes protected transport, express delivery and direct contact by email or WhatsApp. The approach reflects how the fine-wine trade continues to rely on speed, documentation and niche inventory to compete in a market where buyers often seek both rarity and immediate availability.
The stock list does not indicate how long the wines will remain available, but its breadth shows that mature Languedoc continues to circulate actively through specialist merchants. For producers once seen mainly through the lens of regional value, the presence of nearly four decades of vintages in one commercial offer points to a different position in the market: collectible, age-worthy and traded with many of the same tools used for Bordeaux, Burgundy or Rhône wines.
