1stcru established in 2007 is an independent wine merchant located in the Amsterdam area of The Netherlands. It is our philosophy to source wines from smaller family run businesses.

It is our belief that these growers and producers take a great pride in their wines and strive to produce the best wines possible showing the true characteristics of the grape varieties, conditions they are grown, area and climate. Not forgetting generations of family wine making know-how.

We feel that there is more individuality with these wines over the mass produced wines from the larger corporations that are produced to cater for the latest fashions and what they think people should be drinking. We hope you like the selection of wines we have put together and hope you enjoy drinking them as much as we enjoyed selecting them.
