Why buy direct from Champagne

Champagne is a protected appellation (AOC since 1936, its production zone first delimited in 1927) covering 34,200 hectares across 319 villages, the crus, of which 17 hold grand cru and 42 premier cru status. Behind the handful of brands on supermarket shelves sit some 16,460 winegrowers, 410 houses and 120 cooperatives (Comité Champagne, 2025). The region shipped 266 million bottles in 2025, around 57% of them to export markets.

Most of that diversity never reaches retail. Grower cuvées are made in small quantities and allocated long before they cross a border, and every intermediary between the cellar and your warehouse adds margin without adding wine. Buying direct from the region shortens that circuit to one step: you see who made each bottle, and the landed price reflects the cellar price rather than a chain of mark-ups.

For buyers

Built around how you buy

Our selection

Grower and house cuvées, across the whole region

We source across Champagne's four growing areas: the Montagne de Reims and its Pinot Noir villages, the Meunier heartland of the Vallée de la Marne, Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, and the Côte des Bar in the south. Plantings across the appellation split roughly 38% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay and 30% Meunier, and a good list draws on all three.

The range runs from non-vintage brut for volume programs through blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, rosé and vintage cuvées to prestige bottlings, from named grower-producers (récoltants-manipulants) and established houses alike. Most house cuvées and a rotating selection of growers are available in half-bottles and magnums, and a mixed pallet can carry up to eight references, so one order can cover a shelf, a list or a gifting program.

Export markets

Where we ship

Each market has its own licensing and duty rules. Pick a destination for the specifics, or ask us about any country not listed here.

International shipping

From the cellar to your market

Every order consolidates in the Champagne region and travels on the lane your market needs: road freight reaches Belgium in 1 to 2 business days, Germany and the Netherlands in 1 to 3, and the UK in 1 to 3 days plus customs clearance, while ocean freight runs about 3 to 5 weeks door to door to the US and 4 to 8 weeks to Asia, the Gulf and Australia. Shipments leave with their export paperwork prepared: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and the movement documents each lane requires, EMCS inside the EU.

Duties and import rules differ sharply by market, from zero customs duty under trade agreements in the UK and Japan to licensing-first regimes like the US three-tier system. Ourinternational shipping guide compares all 12 markets, and each export page details its country's rules, taxes and transit times.

Questions from buyers

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum order?
Orders start at 60 bottles on European road lanes and one pallet (600 bottles) on overseas sea lanes. A single mixed pallet can carry up to eight different cuvées, so a low minimum still supports a real range.
Are you a Champagne producer?
No, we are a négociant: we buy directly from grower-producers and houses across the region. That lets one order combine several producers and styles, and every quote names the producer and village behind each cuvée.
Do you sell to private individuals?
Our offer is built for volume buyers: importers, distributors, restaurants, retailers and companies. Rules for private buyers vary sharply by destination (the US, for example, only allows licensed importers), so tell us your country and we will confirm what is possible.
How long does delivery take?
Plan on 5 to 10 business days of order preparation, then the transit of your lane: 1 to 3 days by road within Europe, and roughly 3 to 8 weeks by sea to the US, Asia, the Gulf or Australia. Each export page gives the estimate for its market.
Which incoterms do you quote?
EXW at the cellar, FOB Le Havre, and DAP to your warehouse as standard, with CIF on sea lanes and DDP considered case by case for established accounts. Your quote states the incoterm so it is clear which side of the border each cost sits on.
How does payment work?
Bank transfer in euros, SEPA or international wire. First orders are confirmed with a 50% deposit and the balance before dispatch; established accounts can move to net 30 terms.
