About Us
At Eighty-two, our mission is to make fine wine the undiluted pleasure it should always be. To ensure this, we provide a full and comprehensive service of independent advice and expert assistance, where your needs and desires always come first.
We named our company after a superlative vintage because, like 1982, we bring all the elements into alignment to offer you the greatest products and services obtainable, enhanced by the best advice available.
Ours is a business based on absolute integrity, from our carefully nurtured relationships with the owners of legendary domains and the providers of optimum storage to the entirely transparent service we offer you.
WHO WE ARE
Club Eighty-two is the one rare bridge between fine wine lovers and legendary terroirs’ expressions.
Eighty-two is an exclusive fine wine club under the aegis of the oldest-serving wine merchant in Paris (Legrand & Co), which has spent 140 years building and maintaining close relationships with the most prestigious winemakers and domains in the world.
Club Eighty-two exists to serve our members the best experiences that the world of wine has to offer alongside likeminded people.
To this end, we are committed not only to sourcing exquisite wines and hosting intimate dinners with grands crus and the finest gastronomy in breath-taking settings, but also to offering peace of mind through independent advice, cellar management, and concierge services.
The club was initially founded by Baron Alexandre de Rothschild to bring together leading professionals with a passion for great wine. He later entrusted the club to Legrand & Co, the only partner capable of maintaining the spirit and quality of services of his club.
True to its origins, the club now unites an international elite from all sectors around the world to enjoy the wine world’s most spectacular events and experiences.
“The best that the world of wine has to offer”
We offer exciting opportunities to broaden and deepen your understanding of this fascinating world, in the vineyards or in exclusive and beautiful locations reserved for our clients’ use, and we carefully tailor every event and purchase to your personal or professional requirements. However, if you simply wish to relax, secure in the knowledge that every bottle you open will suit both your tastes and the occasion, you can rely on our experts. Because we know that there are as many ways to love wine as there are great wines to love.
Wine is one of life’s greatest pleasures. We invite you to experience 82: the best that the world of wine has to offer.
