About Arcana Cabinet
A cabinet of fine wine, where provenance is practice and every bottle tells a story you can trust.
We are not a wine shop. We are a house of curation, a keeper of exceptional craftsmanship, beginning with wine. Here, bottles are chosen not just for what they contain, but for the parcel, season, and hands that shaped them.
Arcana Cabinet is the online avatar of Vinalist SAS, a Beaune based company that specialises since 2014 in the distribution of wines sourced directly from the finest wineries of Burgundy and France to the rest of the world.
Our team of experts, with 360º experience of the wines and spirits industry from the vineyard to the still, from the bottleshop desk to the international trade, will be happy to provide curated lots, customised recommendation and to share the knowledge accumulated over a combined 4 decades in the industry.
The Cabinet: A Place of Provenance
Our emblem—a serpent coiled into a figure of eight, crossed by an arrow, symbolizes wisdom, patience, knowledge, protection and sometimes temptation. These are the values that guide us.
Rooted in Burgundy
Arcana Cabinet is the online home of Vinalist, a fine wine trading company established in Beaune in 2014. For over a decade, we’ve supplied the world’s most prestigious distributors, collectors, and sommeliers with wines sourced directly from legendary Domaines in Burgundy and across Europe.
Our allocations are first-hand, verified, and traceable, because the best wines deserve the clearest stories.
Why Arcana Cabinet?
| What We Offer | Why It Matters |
|---|---|

| Provenance-guaranteed stock | Every bottle’s journey, from vineyard to cellar, is documented. |
| Curated lots, not inventory | Thoughtfully assembled selections, not just shelves to fill. |
| The Reveal | New arrivals are unveiled at a stated moment, never a countdown, never a rush. |
| The Keeper’s guidance | Personalized advice for collectors, from a single bottle to a full cellar. |
How It Works
The Arcana Advantage: Buy Smarter
Wineries sell their wines to us in bundles. To secure allocations of their most sought-after labels, we also take their lesser-known gems and we pass this advantage on to you.
- Best prices on curated lots: Mixes of iconic and emerging wines at the most competitive rates. This is where you will get the most value from our offers.
- Prefer to cherry-pick? You can but a small margin helps us rotate the remaining stock fairly.
This is how we offer transparency, access, and wines you won’t find elsewhere.
A Different Way to Shop
We don’t sell inventory. We assemble lots, each chosen for its story and named precisely:
Grower | Vintage | Format | Parcel
Every listing starts with a single sentence to guide you. The full story waits below for those who want to dig deeper.
