En primeur

En primeur is a term for wines purchased on initial release in advance of bottling and shipment. The same wines may seldom reappear for sale and/or do so at significantly higher prices. Provenance is assured since storage is controlled from the outset. Bottling formats (halves, magnums, double magnums, etc) may be specified for Bordeaux and certain other wines.
