Curating fine wines from France for your taste and needs
With native French expertise and world-class sommelier support, we handpick France’s finest wines and select those that perfectly match your needs.
Why KANĀ
Harnessing the diversity of the wine world to craft selection that truly suit your needs
We go beyond the obvious: our wines are as unique as the people and markets we serve. Rather than relying solely on the well-known labels, we explore the full diversity of French terroirs to craft selections that fit your exact needs.
Take Champagne, for example, most selections highlight around 50 houses (Laurent Perrier, Ruinart…), while the region is home to nearly 5,000 producers.
- Native French: born and raised in France, with a double culture that lets me translate the soul of French wines into your context
- Tailored expertise: wines curated to fit your market, event, or personal taste, backed by one of the Best Sommeliers of the World
- Exceptional sourcing: 2,000+ wines tasted each year, 400+ independent growers we currently work with, all handpicked, with direct & authentic relationships
- Flexible delivery: from small to large shipments, with the possibility to combine wines from multiple producers in a single order

Countless ways to share our passion with you
Importers
Market-ready French wines, made simple
Native to France and deeply connected to its wine regions, we open doors to bottles rarely seen outside the country: wines with strong identities that aren’t over-distributed. We handle everything in France: tailored selections, flexible volumes, export compliance, and logistics. You get wines that fit your market and truly stand out.
“We can mix references, from renowned fine wines to hidden gems. Great margins, logistics and selections, with wines our competitors simply don’t have.”

Hospitality
Wine lists and pairings that improve the guest experience
We craft seasonal and coherent wine list that fit your cuisine or establishment: avoiding generic selections and mismatched pairings. From list creation to staff training and fast delivery, we ensure food and wine enhance each other, season after season.
“Without a sommelier, we now have an alive wine list aligned with our cuisine. Clear guidance for our staff. It saves us time, money, and still delivers great experience to our guests.”
– Juan M., Owner and Chef, Paris

Stand-out wines for stand-out events
Forget the same old labels that appear at every gala or corporate event. We curate wines and champagnes that honor your theme, pair with your menu, enhance the atmosphere, and bring personality to your event.

About Victor, the founder
Wine and gastronomy have always been an essential part of my life
The son of a wine enthusiast and a professional chef, I grew up guessing spices and aromas, and listening to the stories behind every bottle opened at special gatherings.
After 10 years in marketing (HEC Paris), I chose to return to my roots and work hands-on in vineyards, learning from soil to cellar:
- Château Peyrassol (Côtes-de-Provence): 2* Hachette Guide, organic wines
- Château Malescasse (Bordeaux, Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel): between Margaux and Saint-Julien, 97/100 Decanter
- Château La Bernarde (Côtes-de-Provence): rare reds, organic wines
- Tenuta Casenuove (Chianti, Italy): 96/100 Copello, 95/100 Falstaff
- Quinta da Côrte (Douro, Portugal): 92/100 James Suckling, 16.5/20 Jancis Robinson
Along the way, I had the privilege to collaborate with inspiring figures such as Stéphane Derenoncourt (internationally acclaimed oenologist) and Guy Savoy (Michelin 2*), while earning the WSET and pursuing the Master of Wine diploma.
These journeys deepened my conviction that wine’s greatest value goes beyond the label, it lies in how it fits the moment, the place, the people, and the memories it creates.

Because the right wine makes all the difference
Frequently asked questions
Here are some of the most common questions we receive. Every project is unique, so if something isn’t covered here, just send us a message.
Do you only work with French wines?
Yes, exclusively. We believe in mastering one field deeply. France offers exceptional diversity, from world-famous appellations to hidden gems, and we explore it for you.
Why not just work with a local wine shop?
Because we’re not just sellers. We’re sommeliers and wine curators: pairing wines with your food and moments, while sourcing unique bottles for your cellar, your events, or your market. Growing up in France with a second culture, we bridge two worlds: we can understand your needs, and we bring you wines chosen with the authenticity of a true local. That personal connection is something no regular shop can offer.
Can you help with food and wine pairing?
Absolutely. As experienced sommeliers, we have a long-standing practice of designing pairings. From timeless classics to creative pairings, we consider also every detail, the occasion, your guests, the setting, and even the music, to create a truly harmonious moment.
What if I don’t know much about wine?
That’s where we come in. We make it easy, enjoyable, and accessible. You share what you like, and we take care of the rest.
How are your wines selected?
Each wine is chosen for its character, authenticity, rarity and story, not because it’s fashionable. It’s even better if a wine is organic or biodynamic, but taste comes first. We also conduct thematic blind tastings to fine-tune our selections. We taste over 2,000 French wines a year, and currently work directly with more than 400 winemakers.
