Bacchus Concierge was founded by Alexander de Valle
After spending the start of his career in both the Army and the Police, after a chance invitation to a wine tasting, Alex decided that he wanted to step into the world of wine and pursue a serious passion. Now, with over a decade of experience in the trade, Alex decided to branch out to start his own business.
Alex established Bacchus Concierge in order to bring the love and appreciation he has for wine to others and allow them to grow their own knowledge and collection using his expertise and experience.
Significance of Bacchus and Concierge
Our name, Bacchus Concierge, originates with the Greek God of wine, Bacchus – which is also conveniently a type of grape, best well known and grown in England! At Bacchus Concierge, we hope that whilst we may not be Greek gods, we aim provide you with choices which will allow you to savour and luxuriate in a similar style with your wine choices to our namesake Bacchus!
A Concierge is defined as, "someone who will make arrangements, booking a table at a restaurant, holidays and services." We at Bacchus, aim to be your personal Concierge in the world of wine. Whether it is building and collecting, finding a special bottle, or gifting for clients and friends, we aim to be your 'go-to" service for wine, offering you the highest quality advice and reliable service, allowing you to sit back and enjoy your wine.
Alex's four favourite wines are:
Chateau de la Tour Clos Vougeot Vieilles Vignes 1998
Hailing from one of the most famous Grand Cru red wine producing area's in burgundy.
Delicate red berry fruit, which evolved and changed in the glass with incredible length and precision, especially for a 20-year-old wine.
Vin de Constance Klein Constantia 1996
One of South Africa's most famous and historical vineyards and a rival to the great Sauternes in France. Named by Jane Austen, as a way to mend a broken heart!'
A sweet wine with a dark golden color that jumps out of the glass. It has notes of deep caramel, sweet tropical fruit, lemon, honey and apricot which linger on for 30 - 40 seconds after tasting
2011 Domaine De La Romanee Conti Montrachet
One of the legends of Burgundian white wine and something truly magical, that was a joy to taste! This is one of the great hidden wines. It is rarely found, but if you’re ever lucky enough to taste it, it's flavours are thrillingly layered and complex
Kings Favour, Sauvignon Blanc 2019
A great value Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. Ripe, bright tropical fruit, with a fresh lingering finish, urging you to pour another glass!

TESTIMONIALS
Mr Mark Humphries, Bath, UK
Bacchus Concierge is ideal in two situations. First, you don’t really know what wines you like and are happy for an expert to select them for you. Second, you know exactly what wines you like but don’t have the time to search them out or negotiate the best prices. There is a lot of bad or mediocre wine out there and the only way to avoid disappointment is to have an expert filter it out for you so that you get only the wines you are going to enjoy.
