Your cellar serves the table first, and those who sit at it: bottles ready to open, bubbles, and a few wines to mark special occasions.
Elegant and easy to drink; mineral and taut. Colours: reds, whites and sparkling.
Burgundy, Rhône Valley, Loire and Champagne. Suggested discovery: Languedoc and Beaujolais.
Everyday meals and entertaining, about 48 bottles opened a year.
Wine fridge, a budget of €6,000 of which €2,000 available now.
Your diagnostic aimed for 45% ready to drink, 35% mid-term and 20% long ageing; the selection comes as close to it as the available wines allow. The diagnostic gave an order of magnitude for the whole budget; this Cellar Book commits 85% of it at real prices, and the reserve is not spent in advance.
The “Buy” button on each line opens the wine's page at the merchant. Never more than six bottles of the same wine. For wines to drink and mid-term wines, first buy two or three bottles to taste, then complete in the next round if you like the wine; otherwise, take its replacement.

Delivery costs not included.
Wines for ageing first, while they are available, and bubbles for the holidays.
Wines to drink and mid-term wines, at the pace you drink them, and more of the wines you tasted and liked.
The finishing touches, once the first bottles have been tasted: only buy again what you liked.
Kept for opportunities: an allocation, a hard-to-find vintage, a genuine price drop.
Round by round, grouped by merchant so you place a single order with each. Tick as you go; each button opens the wine at the merchant.

Prices come from the public pages of Comptoir des Millésimes and Vinatis, checked on 2 November 2026. Le Cellier Privé does not sell wine. Links marked “partner link” (Vinatis) are affiliate links: if you buy through them, the merchant pays us a commission, at no extra cost to you. The wines were chosen for your profile, regardless of any commission.
Drinking windows are Le Cellier Privé's estimates, based on the appellation, the producer and the vintage; they vary with storage. Open one bottle of each wine at the start of its window to judge for yourself.
