Bringing France's best-kept secrets to your menu.
Most drinks menus look the same.
We believe memorable venues deserve memorable beverages.
We source rare French drinks from independent producers that never make it into large distribution networks and bring them to hospitality professionals looking to set themselves apart with products that have a story worth telling.
Bringing France's hidden gems to your menu.
Échanson (noun) — the cupbearer to kings and nobles, trusted to select and serve beverages worthy of the table.
We carry that role into the modern hospitality world. We search for bottles worth discovering, work directly with the producers behind them, clear every hurdle to bring them to the Netherlands and place them in the hands of professionals looking to stand out through something truly different.
We source
As a French-founded company, we know the country and its producers from the inside. We travel across France to uncover rare and distinctive beverages that you won’t find anywhere else in the Netherlands. Working directly with independent producers, we seek out hidden gems that bring something truly different to the market.
From spontaneous fermentation beers and artisanal ciders to fruit wines and unique non-alcoholic drinks, every product is chosen for its authenticity, character and ability to offer our customers something new and unexpected.
We import
Finding great products is only the beginning. We manage the administrative, logistical and regulatory complexities of bringing French beverages to the Netherlands, ensuring you can focus on serving great drinks rather than navigating paperwork.
We also work closely with our producers to secure the best possible terms, allowing us to offer exceptional products at highly competitive prices.
From import to final delivery, we take care of the entire process and deliver directly to your door.
We curate
We look beyond the big names.
Our focus is on honest, high-quality beverages made by talented producers whose craftsmanship speaks louder than their marketing budget. By avoiding products where you pay for the brand as much as the liquid, we are able to offer exceptional drinks with outstanding value for money.
Every bottle earns its place in our portfolio, and we are constantly searching for new discoveries to keep our partners one step ahead. This ongoing search brings regular introductions of new products and emerging producers, creating fresh opportunities to evolve drinks menus, surprise guests and stay ahead of the competition.
