Our Services

Each and every operation performed by the Bordeaux City Bond team is thoroughly planned and executed with care and precision by expert handlers.

Reception

The origin, quality and quantity of incoming cases are verified, and the customs documents validated accordingly. The cases are then assigned codes so they can be traced within the warehouse.

Storage

A special camera system is used to guide the forklift truck during handling operations. Clients are welcome to come and inspect their cases themselves, or request photos. All clients have their own dedicated spaces.

Shipping

4 checking operations are conducted before the wines are allowed to leave the warehouse. All orders are prepared with utmost care. A “Bordeaux City Bond” security seal is placed on all film-wrapped pallets and the relevant customs documents are drawn up.
