Bordeaux UK used Octavian Vaults, one of the UK's leading bonded warehouses and entirely independent of Bordeaux UK Ltd. Octavian has been advised to refer callers to Abboot Fielding.
It is not known what the deficiency is nor whether they are wines that haven't been delivered to clients' private. If there are wines outstanding these are likely to include Bordeaux en primeur particularly from the 2009 vintage – hailed as a great vintage. In addition private clients may find that they will have to pay for their storage at Octavian even though they may have been told that Bordeaux UK Ltd would be paying for the first five years.
Warning to clients of Bordeaux UK Ltd
Watch out for the White Knights – other wine investment companies phoning you offering to help you out – get your wine or money back. Avoid at all costs – this is a classic wallet-thinning operation.
