The characteristics of the products on sale are described on the Cave de Fleurie website. The Cave de Fleurie cannot be held responsible for any errors in these descriptions. The products offered by the Cave de Fleurie are available until depletion of stocks. The vintages are guaranteed while stocks last. If a vintage is sold out, the Cave de Fleurie will deliver the next available vintage.

Payment terms and methods

Payment is required at the time of order placement. To be processed and shipped, all orders must be accompanied by full payment for the goods. Payment can only be effected by credit card (secure online payment).

Electronic signature

The confirmation of the order form by clicking on “order” constitutes an electronic signature which has the same value as a handwritten signature between the parties.

Delivery time and process

The delivery lead time is around ten business days, however, this lead time is not contractually binding. Consequently, any delay in delivery does not give the customer the right to cancel the order or claim damages or penalties. The products are delivered to the address provided by the customer on the order form. The customer is required to check the condition of the packaging of the goods upon delivery and to report any damage occurred in transit on the delivery note, as well as to the Cave de Fleurie within 48 hours of receipt of the package containing the products ordered. Any anomaly concerning the delivery (damaged products, discrepancy between the products delivered and those listed on the delivery note, damaged packaging, number of broken bottles, etc.) must be noted on the delivery note, in the form of “handwritten reservations” and accompanied by the customer’s signature. No complaints will be accepted after this deadline.
