The French fine wine specialist SoDivin, based in Aigues Vives, has announced the release of an exceptional catalog of magnums ranging from 1954 to 2017.
The collection covers some of the most prestigious appellations in Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, and the Rhône Valley, targeting collectors, investors, and enthusiasts seeking both historic vintages and the unique aging potential of large-format bottles.
Bordeaux: Icons Across Decades
SoDivin’s Bordeaux selection includes some of the most coveted names in the region’s history. Highlights feature Château Lafite Rothschild magnums from 1954, 1973, and 1990, priced between EUR 1,000 and nearly EUR 3,000 per bottle (before tax). Other notable listings include:
- Château Margaux 1975
- Château Ausone 1994
- Château Angelus 1982
- More accessible options, such as 1981 Château Bouscaut Magnum for EUR 125
This range reflects both blue-chip collectibles and approachable entry points into Bordeaux’s heritage.
Burgundy: Grand Crus in Magnum Form
The Burgundy offering stands out for its rarity and depth. Notable bottles include:
- Domaine Anne Gros Echezeaux 2017 (EUR 1,050)
- Domaine Prieuré Roch Vieilles Vignes Nuits Saint Georges 2014 (EUR 1,300)
- Bouchard Père et Fils Chambertin Clos de Bèze 2014
- Comtes Lafon Les Santenots du Milieu Volnay 1995
These wines emphasize the small-scale, artisanal nature of Burgundy, where magnums are produced in very limited numbers.
Champagne: Prestige in Larger Formats
Champagne collectors will also find remarkable options, such as:
- Jacquesson Avize Champ Cain Extra Brut 2009 Magnum (EUR 290)
- Bollinger RD Extra Brut 1999 Magnum (EUR 600)
- De Venoge Brut 1989 Magnum (EUR 500)
- Palmer & Co Collection Blanc de Blancs 1996 Magnum
Magnums of Champagne are particularly prized for their slow, graceful maturation, making them perfect for long-term cellaring or celebratory occasions.
Rhône Valley: Power and Elegance
The Rhône selection brings together benchmarks of both Northern and Southern Rhône:
- Auguste Clape Cornas (2010, 2016 vintages)
- Chapoutier Le Pavillon Hermitage Rouge
- Chapoutier L’Ermite Blanc
- Vincent Paris Granit 60 Vieilles Vignes Magnum 2016 (EUR 181)
- Paul Jaboulet Aîné La Chapelle Hermitage Rouge 1990 Magnum (EUR 1,200+)
These bottles reflect the Rhône’s ability to produce wines of both intensity and ageworthiness, particularly in large format.
SoDivin’s Commitment to Collectors
Founded in 2001, SoDivin has become a trusted platform for fine and rare vintages. Each magnum is photographed, individually inspected, and available for international shipping. The catalog is updated regularly to reflect new acquisitions, meeting the rising global demand for collectible large-format wines.
Why Magnums?
Magnums are increasingly sought after in both Europe and Asia. Beyond their grandeur at the table, they offer technical advantages: slower, more even maturation, better preservation, and rarity due to limited production. As such, they are valued not only for consumption but also for investment.
With its newly unveiled collection, SoDivin continues to bridge tradition and modern accessibility, offering a curated selection that combines prestige, provenance, and longevity.
