How champagne export works with us
One point of contact from first brief to delivered pallet. Here is how we source, price, pack and ship, and what to expect at each step.
Grower and house cuvées, chosen for a reason
As a négociant we buy across two worlds. Independent growers give access to small, terroir-driven cuvées made in limited quantity. Established houses give the consistency and recognition a retail shelf or wine list leans on. Most orders draw on both.
Selection is not a fixed catalogue. When you send a brief we work back from your market, price points and the style you want to pour or sell, then propose cuvées that fit and that we can supply reliably on repeat.
Quantities and what they mean
| Order size | Approx. bottles | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 120 – 600 bottles | [PLACEHOLDER: verify — bottles per pallet] | Our entry point. Mix cuvées across growers and houses on a single pallet. |
| 600 – 3,000 bottles (1–5 pallets) | [PLACEHOLDER: verify — bottle range] | Consolidated freight and better per-bottle pricing as volume grows. |
| 3,000+ bottles | [PLACEHOLDER: verify — bottle range] | Full and multi-pallet loads, planned against your ordering calendar. |

Packaging and palletization
Bottles ship in their original cases, stacked and secured on standard pallets built for international freight. Cases are combined so a mixed order travels as a stable, fully documented load, ready to hand to your forwarder or ours depending on the incoterm.
