Fine wine and en-primeur sales specialist in Bordeaux since 1983
Millésima's primary commitment is to its customers, to offer wines purchased directly from the producer. Each case will have thus known only two homes before arriving at your door: the producing estate, and our bicentennial cellar, which offers ideal storage conditions for each bottle. By choosing Millésima, you will have a guarantee of the origin of the wines, and of perfect storage conditions, essential in the purchase of great wines, especially in the case of older vintages.

An exceptionally wide selection
The history of the Millésima house of trade is strongly linked to the fine wines of Bordeaux and the Place de Bordeaux, of which it is an important player. However, our passion for fine wines is not restrained by borders. A part of the 2,500,000 bottles, available in a vast array of formats and currently ageing in our cellar, come from other major French wine regions, such as Burgundy, Champagne, the Rhone Valley, the Loire and Alsace... We are also constantly expanding our range to include great wines from Italy, Spain, Australia and other key producing countries! Also included within this impressive selection, the Millésima cellar houses a vinotheque, nicknamed the “Imperial Library” - a collection of 12,500 large format bottles (double-magnums, jeroboams, imperial ...), unique and rare in the world!

Millésima, a story of a Bordeaux family
Millésima is part of the family-owned-and-operated Group Bernard, whose parent company Lucien Bernard was founded in 1928, specialising in wines and spirits. A graduate of ESC Bordeaux with a Master's Degree in Economics, Patrick Bernard first worked at Banque du Drouas before joining the family business through Lucien Bernard. In 1983, he established a company by the name of Vins des Grands Vignobles, which became Millésima in June of 1988, dedicated to the traditional trade of Bordeaux crus classé wines. On January 1, 1988, the company published its first catalogue of the 100 greatest classified growths of Bordeaux, with the objective being to focus on sale to individual customers. From 1992 onwards, a printed catalogue has been published and sent out to the following countries: Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Austria, French and German Switzerland, Great Britain, Ireland, Luxembourg, Italy and Spain. A true pioneer of the modern age, Millésima has been moving towards e-commerce ever since 1997, developing its platform for online wine sales through its 15 websites, each adapted to different foreign markets. Representing the fourth generation of the family business, it is today Fabrice Bernard who has succeeded Patrick Bernard at the helm of Millésima. After graduating ESC Amiens and working for Renault Credit International and Nissan Finance, he joined Millésima in 2007 as Marketing Manager, becoming Managing Director in 2012 and Chief Executive Officer in 2017, in the footsteps of his father.
