Everything You Need to Know About Our Old Vintages
The "Our Old Vintages " collection showcases wines that have had time to develop and mature. When stored under the right conditions, these bottles offer a different perspective on wine, where patience reveals more complex aromas, a smoother texture, and a unique depth.
What is an old vintage?
An "old vintage" refers to a wine from a past harvest that has been aged for an extended period in the cellar. Not all wines are meant to age: those in this collection have been selected for their structure, balance, and ability to age well over the years. They may include red wines, white wines, or sparkling wines, from a variety of regions and styles.
Over time, the primary fruit aromas give way to more developed notes: dried fruit, spices, leather, forest floor, honey, or wax, depending on the grape variety and terroir. The palate becomes more supple, complex, and long-lasting.
Why choose an aged wine?
Tasting an old vintage is a unique experience:
Discover a wine’s natural evolution.

These wines are perfect for special occasions, curious wine lovers, or enthusiasts looking to explore a different side of wine.
Conservation and Breeding
The wines in this collection have been carefully stored under conditions ideal for aging, to ensure their integrity and their full tasting potential. Each bottle is selected for its flavor profile and current balance, whether it is ready to drink or still has the potential to age.
An exclusive collection
By their very nature, older vintages are available in very limited quantities. Each cuvée offers a rare opportunity to taste a wine at an advanced stage of its development, reflecting a specific vintage, terroir, and the winemaker’s craftsmanship at a precise moment in time.
At Les Grappes, the " Nos vieux millésimes " collection is designed for wine lovers who appreciate character, seeking emotion, depth, and authenticity—where time becomes a key element of the tasting experience.
