Shipping costs for en primeur wines from vintage 2024 in EU countries
(Hospices de Beaune, Hospices de Nuits and Albert Bichot wines)

As soon as the wines have been made available by Albert Bichot, the Customer has a period of four (4) months in which to request delivery at his own expense according to the schedule indicated above, or to collect the wines ordered free of charge from Albert Bichot's winery in Beaune. After this period, Albert Bichot may invoice the customer for storage costs. In the event of failure to collect the wines within the time limit set, Albert Bichot will apply the provisions of the French Civil Code, according to which the contract is automatically cancelled. Similarly, once the deadline has passed, Albert Bichot is not bound by any obligation to preserve the wines: it is therefore not liable for any deterioration.
