Our Approach to Wine Consulting

Independent · Discreet · Long-Term

Grand Cru Select was founded on the belief that good wine decisions require perspective, not pressure.

Our advisory philosophy prioritises:

  • Independence from merchants and producers

  • Context alongside critic scores

  • Provenance, balance, and relevance over hype

Wine should reward patience, curiosity, and judgment.
