Shipping ; Due to high temperatures, the shipment of your bottle may be delayed to prevent it from being damaged by high temperatures. Temperature fluctuations can damage wine or spirits, affecting their taste and quality. It is therefore common practice to suspend shipments during heat waves. We ship from Monday to Thursday only, to avoid your bottle being unnecessarily held up over the weekend by the carrier. There are many public holidays and frequent strikes in France, so please do not be surprised if your package cannot be shipped during these periods, as this is beyond our control.
