French term or phrase: Le Cellier X vous propose ses vins ...
The opening phrase of a web site for the Cellier. No trouble understanding what this means, but great trouble in finding the beautiful English equivalent. To offer or to bring seem rather stilted. Any ideas, please?

English translation:Cellier X presents its wines
Explanation:
As Tony says, not sure if you want to translate Cellier, which might be X Wine Merchants - but again, a bit more context would be helpful.

neutral  Tony M: Actually, 'cellier' is more usually a storeroom for food (and sometimes wine) / larder. A wine cellar is more usually a 'cave (à vins)'.

Fine wines from Cellier X


Explanation:
Would I think have a more natural ring about it in EN; those as Writeaway so rightly says, it really does all depend on the target market segment, and style / register of the rest of the text.

You might also wish to consider:

"Fine wines on offer from Cellier X" — personally, I don't think there's any real need to slavishly keep 'offer' in there, and also, 'on offer' might be misinterpreted as 'on special offer'
