The famous fine wines and luxury spirits retailer is set to launch its first boutique outside of the airport in the prestigious neighbourhood of Emirates Hills
Le Clos, founded in 2008 by Maritime and Mercantile International (MMI), proudly announces the grand opening of its first boutique in Dubai at the Montgomerie Golf Club Emirates Hills. This event marks the start of an ambitious expansion plan set to unfold across the city throughout the year.

Opened in early June, the boutique features a curated selection of wines and spirits from the world's most esteemed producers and brands.

Inspired by the iconic châteaux of Bordeaux, the boutique is designed to offer an intimate and immersive experience, transporting guests to the heart of fine wine. The space features soft lighting, soothing colors, and tactile elements, creating an ideal environment for exploration. Visitors can expect a hand-curated selection of iconic Grand Crus, Châteaux first growths, unique collectible spirits, and high-end wines from around the globe. A team of highly knowledgeable advisors, all WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) qualified, will assist customers in finding the perfect bottle for any occasion.



To celebrate the opening, Le Clos has introduced its first collection of whiskies. Crafted from exceptional 30 and 40-year-old blends sourced from the prestigious 'Grants family private stock', each numbered bottle reflects its unique heritage and exclusivity, presented in sustainable packaging. With limited quantities available, Le Clos invites guests to experience the pinnacle of whisky craftsmanship at the new boutique.

Le Clos' expertise extends beyond the boutique. For enthusiasts looking to curate and manage their wine portfolios, Le Clos offers a private client experience through its bespoke wine advisory service. This service, managed by an expert private client team renowned for their discerning taste and extensive knowledge of fine wine regions, producers, and vintages, ensures collections are meticulously tailored to individual financial objectives, tastes, and preferences. The team excels at identifying exclusive buying and selling opportunities, providing a personalized and sophisticated approach to wine collection management.

Le Clos also offers unique experiences, such as intimate dinners, masterclasses, and tastings with some of the world’s leading winemakers. These events cater to all levels of knowledge, tastes, and preferences.

MMI’s Group CEO, Tyrone Reid, expresses excitement about this new chapter for Le Clos, stating: “I couldn’t be more thrilled to embark on this incredible journey with Le Clos. Over the past 15 years, we’ve not only made our mark in the industry but have truly pioneered the way. Now, we’re ready to shake up Dubai’s wine and spirits scene like never before!”

“Opening our first boutique in Dubai is a massive milestone for us. It’s all about elevating our guests’ experiences and fostering closer connections with the vibrant communities around us. As Dubai continues to draw new residents and travellers, Le Clos is geared up to surpass all expectations. This milestone represents our lasting legacy, and it wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing partners and loyal customers. Here’s to the future, and to many more exciting adventures ahead!”



Since its establishment, Le Clos has been a trusted purveyor of fine wines and spirits. Through close partnerships with leading producers, it has provided customers access to rare gems, primarily at Dubai International Airport. Now, with the unveiling of Le Clos' first Dubai boutique, its exceptional offerings extend to a broader audience, promising a haven for wine connoisseurs and collectors.
