Our Mission
Simple. Import the finest Burgundy and Champagne we can find directly to you.
Since 2014, we’ve been driving the back roads from Reims to Epernay to Chablis to Beaune, and nearly all the way to Lyon. Along the way we’ve tasted wine with hundreds of winemakers so that we can bring you the 40 or so we work with today.
Direct importing means that we deal directly with winemakers, and all the wines we sell originate in their cellars, without any agents or brokers in between. Why pay an extra 20-30% to a middleman!
We work closely with all of our producers, and consider many of them personal friends. Unlike many importers or wine clubs that sell anything they can get their hands on, we’re personally involved with every winemaker and every wine we sell. As a result, we know the people, we know the wines, and we want to transfer that knowledge directly to you.
