Fine wine and luxury spirits retailer Le Clos is celebrating the opening of its latest outlet at Dubai International Airport (DXB) by offering a complimentary bottle of champagne to visitors spending more than $150 throughout January.

The new store is located in Terminal 3, next to gate B8 and expands Le Clos’ footprint to 11 stores.

This latest opening marks a ‘phenomenal year’ for Le Clos which included various high-profile launches and international partnerships. Last June, for example, the first The Macallan boutique opened in partnership with Le Clos. As a result, the retailer received the Partnership of the Year prize at the Drinks International Travel Retail Awards.

EUROPE AND SOUTH AMERICAN INFLUENCE

The striking design of this latest Le Clos store draws inspiration from the wine and spirits production process. The woodwork is influenced by European and South American vineyards alongside customised 4m high, stacked-barrel-shaped LED screens that can be seen from the main concourse.

In-store, customers can explore a hand-picked selection of Le Clos’ most popular wines and spirits, including a range of rare and limited-edition bottles. This includes a collection of the sought after Bordeaux 2009 vintage and rare whisky bottlings from the Samaroli. Customers can also enjoy in-store tastings and complimentary bottle engraving.

Ben Odgers, General Manager, Le Clos said: “Le Clos had a fantastic 2019 with tremendous demand across our stores for high quality, affordable luxury. With the increased success of the brand, we took the decision to open the 11^th store at DXB to give visitors to the airport even more choice and ease.

“January remains one of the busiest periods in the year for DXB airport and we want to ensure that all our customers have the individual personalised experience that Le Clos is proud of across the stores.”
