Rarest Vintage Spirits, Legendary Wines
Our mission at our subsidiary Finest & Rarest, is quite simply to bring you the rarest, most fascinating wines and spirits - unique irreplaceable bottles in many cases dating back to the nineteenth or even eighteenth century. We sell almost nothing less than 50 years old. Whether you're looking for an ancient cognac from the "Comet" vintage of 1811, an original Absinthe Pernod Fils such as Toulouse Lautrec might have drunk at a Belle Epoque Parisian café, or a Hannisville rye from the days before Prohibition, you've come to the right place.

The legendary "Yellow wines" of the Jura.
We are vineyard owners in the Jura, near the historic medieval village of Arlay. The vineyards of the Jura go back to Roman times. Château Chalon is the oldest and most famous of the Jura AOCs - this single hilltop of just 19 hectares is home to the extraordinary Vin Jaune ("Yellow wine"), made from the Savagnin varietal. It has the ability, in good vintages, to age for well over a century.
Rare Wines, Vintage Spirits & Absinthe
Absinthe - La Fée Verte
We were one of the pioneers of the modern absinthe renaissance, and have been a leader in the field since the early 1990's. We are co-owners of the historic Distillerie Les Fils d'Emile Pernot in Pontarlier, one of only two French absinthe distilleries surviving from the pre-ban era. We have decades of product formulation and contract manufacturing expertise.
Our Absinthe Encylopedia has been continuously in print for over a decade, and is regarded as the definite history of La Fée Verte.
