With a carefully curated selection ranging from the finest Margaux to a cult classic from Napa Valley, the newly launched Grand Cru, Wine Concierge at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore is a first of its kind pick-and-drink wine destination
The variety of fine wines available to us today is extraordinary, but getting your hands on these gems at the best prices can be a little tricky. On top of receiving professional help in purchasing some of the finest the market has to offer at the newly launched Grand Cru, Wine Concierge, for an additional 10 per cent service charge, guests visiting The Fullerton Hotel Singapore can now also enjoy their drinks in the comfort of the Grand Cru at the South Courtyard lounge located right outside the boutique.
Making its debut this month, this unique wine concierge service is not only a premium wine retailer but also a first of its kind pick-and-drink wine destination housed in a five-star hotel in Singapore that offers premium bottles at retail prices.
The boutique is opened six days a week (closed on Sundays), and boasts a recognisably exceptional range of wines that stretches across the Old and New World, with a strong focus on top producers in Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, alongside a growing but tight curation from America, Australia and New Zealand, Chile, Germany, Italy and Spain. A quick browse through the menu will reveal feted labels like Burgundian legend Ramonet, Beaujolais royalty Jean-Louis Dutraive, Spanish powerhouses Vega Sicilia and Bodegas Muga, and Napa's Bryant Family Vineyard, as well as Australian stalwart D’Arenberg.
In fact, according to a spokesperson, premium examples such as the Bollinger Special Cuvée, Achaval Ferrer Malbec and the Dom Pérignon P2 2000 “are priced significantly lower than other 5-star hotels”. What's more, the concierge’s service extends beyond its menu, which means staff can help source a particular label or vintage that isn’t on its list.
