The Vision:

"Essence of the Fine Wine Experience . . ."

Rare is the opportunity to acquire something truly distinguished, something that is not only unique, but with the style, elegance and grace that is true-to-form and world-class.  Here, before you, is a brand that represents just that:                                                                                    A Brand Innovation

Premier Cru Collection is an offering of handmade items that are artistically beautiful and wine related.  Nowhere in the world can one point to a brand offering only handmade items -in the highest quality- that are this artistic and beautiful in the wine industry.  We fulfill a void in the "Luxury Lifestyle Space" - a demographic of immense wealth, an elite clientele who desire beauty and demand items that are truly authentic and genuine in provenance.

About the Experience:  When we enjoy a truly high end fine wine, it is an ethereal, transcending experience - we feel our spirit, our chi.  We become transported into a surreal moment.  Well, Premier Cru Collection is the physical counterpart to this moment - this experience - an experience that we have coined in a phrase:  "Essence of the Fine Wine Experience . . ."

The whole of Premier Cru Collection is much greater than the sum of its parts.  It's about understanding what it means, and what it feels like, when we enjoy the world's finest wines - and, for those who give Premier Cru Collection as a gift to another, then, it's about saying:

"I understand your immense passion for fine wine - this is evidenced in the gift I am presenting to you from Premier Cru Collection "Essence of the Fine Wine Experience . . . "

Who We Are

Premier Cru Collection is a world‐class luxury-lifestyle brand in the fine-wine space, providing handmade accessories that are artistically beautiful. They are true heirloom quality for connoisseurs, collectors, enthusiasts and for the high-end upscale demographic.  Not to exclude those who just love wine a lot and want to match their vision of fine wine in material form.

We are the one-stop shop for world‐class handmade items in the luxury-lifestyle fine-wine space.

Our sister company, Premier Cru Wine Cellars (a dba of Premier Cru, Inc.) designs & builds high-end custom wine cellars (See Photos above & below), creating incredible spaces to enjoy Premier Cru Collection's hand-blown crystal stemware & other handmade wine accessories such as the wine-openers.

Artisically-Beautiful, Hand-Blown, Lead-Free Crystal Stemware

Premier Cru Collection stemware is the first item in the Collection - it is the pinnacle of our artistic vision and expression; for it is "bold, yet elegant" - the perfect description for Premier Cru Collection.

Using the right stemware will elevate one's fine wine experience; having a sensational effect on a wine's aroma, taste, and enjoyment. The Collection stemware, though very artistic, functions beyond being a vessel for fine wine, as well.  The shape of each stem in the Collection is specially designed to optimize the aroma of fine wine- specifically-for each grape varietal they're designed for.  It's been said that drinking fine wine is 90% smelling; that's true, for it is a very cerebral experience.

Premier Cru Collection stemware is "lead-free" - which is a healthy alternative to leaded-cystal and, as a result of being lead-free, it's more durable as well.

The first handmade-selection in Premier Cru Collection is hand-blown, lead-free, and durable crystal stemware. Our beautiful and elegant Premier Cru Collection of stemware is heirloom quality and will elevate one's fine-wine experience in the most memorable way . . .
