The Confrérie des Clos Vivants
The Confrérie des Clos Vivants
Discover our Confrérie: a monthly subscription that opens the secrets of our cellar to you, in our Dijon shop and online.
Every month, the amount you have chosen is credited to your account, topped up according to your tier. That balance never expires. You spend it when you like, on the bottles you like, and in particular on the allocations set aside especially for you. And if one day you decide to stop your subscription, everything you have already accumulated remains yours to use.
The Confrérie is not a club that sends you surprise cases. It is a way to spread your wine budget over the year, to get first access to the rarest bottles we carry, and to keep a direct link with the cellar and its winemakers. All this while keeping your freedom to choose and buy what suits you and what you enjoy.
The Confrérie is reserved for our customers: to join, you simply need to have bought from us before, in our Dijon shop or online. It is our way of thanking those who already place their trust in us.

How it works
You choose your subscription.
Three tiers, 100, 250 or 500 € per month. You can change tier at any time.
It is credited to your account.
Every month, on your subscription date, with your tier bonus. From the very first month, your balance is available.
You spend it at your own pace.
In the shop, on the website, on allocations. Your balance never disappears, even if you stop your subscription.
You earn loyalty on every purchase.

What the Confrérie opens to you
The Confrérie wines.
Some of our bottles arrive in quantities too small to be offered to everyone. These wines are not held back to create scarcity, they are scarce before they reach us.
We reserve them for our members, and your tier simply sets the order in which we offer them to you. The current selection is shown on the Confrérie wines page and changes as deliveries come in. Discover the Confrérie wines.
The Private Cellar.
A named space in our storage area, under professional cellar conditions. Every bottle you buy, online or at the counter, can be placed there instead of being shipped. You then decide when it leaves and group your shipments.
La Paulée des Clos.
Every year, to close our Saint Nicolas tasting week in the first week of December, we bring Confrérie members together around a table, in the truest spirit of the Burgundian Paulées.
The Private Cellar in detail
Deposit
With every online order, choose "Cellar deposit" instead of delivery. In the shop, simply tell the team. Your bottles join your space, at constant temperature and humidity, away from light and vibration.
Track
From your account, you can see the places in use, the detail of your bottles, and the shipping cost for any selection you choose.
Collect
Your bottles are kept in a space separate from the shop. To pick them up at the counter or have them shipped, request their preparation from your account, and they will be made available to you within 48 hours.
Ship
Group your bottles to pay a single shipping fee. Six bottles sent together cost far less than six separate shipments.
Beyond your places
You may exceed your quota against a storage contribution taken from your balance: 0.60 € per bottle per month as Compagnon, 0.50 € as Chevalier, 0.40 € as Grand Chevalier, any month started being due. Moving up a tier increases your places and lowers this rate.
Duration
Your bottles stay in the Private Cellar as long as your subscription is active.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to my balance if I stop my subscription?
It remains yours, with no time limit, and can be used in the shop and online. Only the tier benefits, allocations, events and Private Cellar, come to an end.
What happens to my bottles in the Private Cellar if I stop?
Your bottles are kept while you make arrangements to collect them or have them shipped. We simply agree on a date.
Can I change tier?
Yes, at any time, up or down, from your Stripe portal. The new tier applies from your next payment date.
Are the tier bonus and loyalty the same thing?
No. The tier bonus is applied to your subscription when it is credited: 3% for Compagnon, 5% for Chevalier, 10% for Grand Chevalier. Loyalty is calculated on every purchase, 5% for all members, and is added to your balance. The two add up.
Can I subscribe for an amount other than the three tiers?
In the shop, yes. If these amounts do not suit your pace, speak to the team and we will tailor the subscription with you.
How do I pay with my balance?
Online, your balance is offered to you at checkout. In the shop, just let us know at the counter.
Can I drop in to collect my bottles without notice?
No, and that is deliberate. Your bottles are kept in a space separate from the shop, under conditions the counter cannot offer. Request their preparation from your account and they will be waiting for you within 48 hours.
Can I give a subscription as a gift?
For a gift, the gift card remains the simplest option. To open a subscription in a loved one's name, write to us and we will set it up together.
Do I need to already be a customer to join the Confrérie?
Yes. The Confrérie is reserved for those who have already bought from us, in the shop or online. If you shop with us in Dijon but have no customer account, create one or write to us, we will gladly activate it. If you are new to us, write to us too and we will give your request our fullest attention.
