Our projects combine metal, wood, glass, acrylic and refined finishes to create modern wine displays designed around both presentation and preservation.

Millesime Through The Years

2001: Beginning Of Our Story

We began as wine storage experts known as '12 En Cave,' paying homage to 12 degrees Celsius (55 degrees Fahrenheit), the ideal preservation temperature for wine. We marketed wine accessories while utilizing a 2000 sq ft space for customer wine storage to maintain optimal preservation.

2010: Introduced Millesime Wine Racks

10 years later, we introduced Millesime Wine Racks with custom solutions for floor-to-ceiling wine racks in 1-3 bottle depths. Our team of cellar specialists worked mainly with designers for private residential wine cellars as we continued to develop our product line.

2011 - 2023: Product Evolution

For the past 13 years, we have focused on innovation and providing top-tier wine storage systems to clients worldwide. We introduced new finishes in our anodized aluminum fixtures, added wood species to best match current design trends, and designed design-forward display fixtures for wine and liquor collections.

2024: A New Era

In November 2024, Millesime Wine Racks became Millesime Modern Cellars to better reflect the truly elegant and sophisticated nature of our designs and customer base. Millesime Modern Cellars will continue to uphold and expand upon the superior service and products our customers trust, while advancing innovative, design-focused wine storage solutions.

Our Story

From Montreal Wine Storage Experts to Modern Cellar Design

Millesime's story began in Montreal in 2001 as 12 En Cave, serving wine collectors with storage expertise and climate-controlled wine storage.

In 2010, the company introduced Millesime Wine Racks, expanding into custom floor-to-ceiling wine storage and working with designers on residential projects.

The following years brought continued product development, including new anodized finishes, wood options and increasingly design-forward wine and liquor displays.

In November 2024, the brand entered its next chapter as Millesime Modern Cellars, a name that better represents the architectural, material-driven approach that had come to define its work.

In 2025, Millesime expanded U.S. manufacturing to support greater production efficiency and faster service for American projects while maintaining its Canadian roots and international reach.
