About Boursot's Wine Collection
Boursot's Wine Collection – where the quality and real value of the
wines are both guaranteed. And of course, where you can taste the wines
before making up your mind!
You are well advised to hop across to the pretty town of Ardres just 15
minutes south of Calais when you need to buy wines and champagne for a
wedding or for a large party. So-called "special offers" in the UK
still leave colossal savings to be had here in France of around £7 to
£10 per bottle on Champagne - and that's before the savings of at least
£2.50 on each bottle of still wine.
The main difference is the amount of duty charged in the UK at around
£1.50 per bottle before VAT, and there are also storage and
distribution savings to be made by buying your wines in France.
The average couple comes here, tastes several wines, has a great lunch,
and returns with guaranteed quality red, white and bubbly at low French
prices saving on average well over £1,000. It’s a wonderful day out – a
welcome change from the rising pressures during the run up to the Great
Day!
By way of example, Boursot's is currently charging the equivalent (at
€1,25 to the £) of £6.20 for its excellent Méthode Traditionnelle,
£15.30 on its delicious Grand Cru champagne and £22.90 on Pol Roger -
each of which would go down reliably well at a wedding. download the
full list of wines on our website - www.boursot.co.uk
Your French wine purchase is not subject to the penal excise duty
charged in the UK, and there are no restrictions on the amount you can
take back, provided that the wines are for personal consumption and
provided that you are travelling with your purchases.
As a Boursot’s Wine Collection customer, until 31st March your special
Day Return fare for a car and 5 passengers with SeaFrance will be £23
from Sundays to Fridays and £30 on Saturdays.
To take advantage, you can get these special prices only by calling the
Ferry Travel Club on 0870 264 2644 and by quoting our code “Boursot�.
If you wish to come for longer, or to add accommodation to your
package, do call that number and the helpful staff should be able to
quote you a competitive all-in price.
Also we are pleased to continue our Offer whereby if you spend more
than 600 euros here, we will pay for your day return crossing. Please
call or e-mail us to find out how to take advantage of this Offer.
Just work it out for yourself – you know it makes sense!
Wedding List Service
Wine Consultants SARL is pleased to offer you its Wedding List Service
in which couples can make a selection of wines from which their friends
or guests can choose a suitable wedding present of a particular style
or value.
Initially Guy Boursot discusses with the couple several factors
including their wine style preferences, whether the wines are required
for enjoyment now or over the coming years, whether this is the basis
of a new, or addition to a couple's, cellar and whether the wines are
for pleasure or for investment or indeed a combination of the two.
Other specific wines can also be sourced and these might be bought
directly from the domaines or châteaux or at auction around Europe,
subject to certain conditions.
After a complete discussion, analysis and advice, a final agreed list
is produced that becomes available for donors to look at and to order
from. All bottles bought from Boursots Wine Collection are provided
with tasting notes and recommended drinking dates. If wines for the
List have been bought from elsewhere, for example from auction, Guy
Boursot will provide as accurate notes as are feasible without tasting
these specific bottles.
Bottles or cases can be purchased over the internet by the couples
friends and relatives and will be held in the cellars in Ardres until
the newlyweds are ready to collect after their honeymoon. By taking
their own wines back with them, of course couples will not be paying
the UK?s penal duty on wine imports.
