January Sale 2012

We are delighted to announce the release of the annual Farr Vintners January Sale. As usual there are hundreds of wines here with significant discounts – some wines have been reduced by as much as 50%.

This year the sale is divided into two separate lists: Perfect Condition, and Minor Imperfections. Please click the relevant link below.

Perfect Stock
At Farr Vintners we are rather obsessed with turning over our stocks rapidly. The first list contains wines that are in perfect condition and that are discounted simply because we have had them in stock for more than a couple of months. There are some real bargains here including the return of our popular “Ten Quid Pomerol” offer. This time it’s the turn of Bourgneuf 2002, La Fleur Gazin 2006 and Clos Réné 2008 and 2006 (with the Moulinet-Lasserre label) to be offered at just £120 per dozen in bond (all in original wooden cases). There’s also a Saint Emilion (Chateau Le Prieuré 2002) at the same price.

Minor Imperfections
As many of our customers know, we have the most stringent and labour-intensive stock-checking system in the wine trade. 25 people are employed at Octavian to examine and photograph the wines that we receive from our suppliers. Any wines that are received with minor imperfections (such as damp-soiled labels, non-original cases, US import back labels etc.) are then noted and offered for sale with discounted prices. Most of these imperfections are entirely superficial. Examples of these include our large parcel of Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2004 from Domaine la Roquète which is reduced from £180 to £120 per dozen simply because it has small US stickers on the backs of the bottles (which are removable anyway). Likewise, some fantastic Sauternes bargains – the great (and “Yquem-like”) Château de Fargues 2007 that was originally released at £820 now at an amazing £395 (a 51% reduction) and Lafaurie Peyraguey 2005 at a £100 per case discount – now £210 for 24 halves.
