After ten years of existence, the relevance of "customized" storage of fine wines in Bordeaux is undeniable. All the more so since this service is no longer limited to Bordeaux grands crus destined for export.
THIS EFFORT HAS EARNED BORDEAUX CITY BOND RECOGNITION AS THE BENCHMARK FOR BORDEAUX CUSTOMS.
The idea of creating a bonded warehouse in Bordeaux dedicated to fine wines may have seemed obvious, but ten years ago it was actually a challenge, given that London and Geneva had been so successful in occupying the field. In fact, it took tenacity not only to obtain a favorable change in the French transposition of European legislation authorizing the Export Suspensive Tax Regime (ETSR), but also to create "tailor-made" services likely to attract French and foreign customers. As a result of these efforts, Bordeaux City Bond has been recognized as the benchmark for Bordeaux Customs.
