Wijnhandel Jean Berger — Wine shop in Roermond

By Royal Decree the business is a Purveyor to the Royal Household, a right granted in 1962 by Queen Juliana, reconfirmed by Queen Beatrix and confirmed once again by King Willem-Alexander in 2014. One of the very last artisan wine merchants in the Netherlands. Tours of the centuries-old vaulted cellars are possible, with two wines (about an hour) or an extended tasting (about 2.5 hours). On the open house days countless artisan wines are open to taste. What makes this house truly unique: Jean Berger is one of the few businesses that still raise and bottle wines themselves, by hand, in the medieval cellars. Only their own imports, no large purchasing channels, so as a rule the wines you find here aren't available at other wine shops in the Netherlands. A wide choice of older vintages and Bordeaux wines for a vertical tasting. From €5 for a simple house wine to more than €1,000 for a Château Pétrus.
