ABOUT US

In 2007, Francois Gaillard decided to open his company, providing export services to French estates. As his previous career in the US provided him with enough contacts in the wine industry, it made sense to bring together suppliers and clients. 71 Vintage provides its services as a niche wine export sales and marketing company specializing in the dynamic US market.

OUR VISION

quality first

A good wine for an importer is one that sells well and for a long time. It needs to fit the demand – whatever that may be. Quality also translates into credibility and strong relationships as the producers are looking for longtime partners in the US.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

Knowing the ins and outs of the import market is essential. FDA, compliance letters, specific label design, and all other technical aspects can be anticipated beforehand. 

EXPANSION OF PARTNERS

The US is a large and complex market. Due to branding exclusivity state by state, expansion is crucial for sales development. More suppliers for importers and more importers for suppliers.
