The challenge
Exporting wine has become harder than it used to be.
Only a few years ago, markets were more accessible, importers were more open to discoveries, and a trade fair was often enough to build profitable contacts.
Today, too many estates are trying to export at the same time. Finding serious importers takes time and costs money.
ExportVins prospects for you. You focus on your wines, we find you the buyers.
We work with independent estates in France and across Europe, mainly towards European and North American markets.

Who is behind ExportVins
Simon Lemonnier, founder.
I have spent seven years in wine, including two as sales manager for a Canadian importer, one year in Toronto and one in Montreal. I saw from the inside how a buyer chooses the estates they work with.
In October 2021, I founded ExportVins to put that perspective at the service of producers. Five years later, more than 120 estates have trusted me with their export prospecting.
