'Clos19' is the name of a new online alcohol retailer from champagne brand Moët Hennessy and parent company LVMH that is styled like an upscale blog for foodies.
Beyond just being a place to place an online order for wines, spirits, champagne and rare vintages, Clos19 is a destination for booking catering services, workshops or experiential tastings around the world. Some of the 'Exceptional Experiences' shared on Clos19 include three-day immersions of art and culture in Paris, explorations of Antartica and helicopter tours of London, all of which offer a chance to experience the company's finest champagnes and spirits.
The platform notes the "art of hosting" as its central theme, with "Clos" originating from the French word for "walled vineyard" and the number "19" referencing upscale hosting experiences from the 19th century.
