About Us

Vins de France

Welcome to the exciting and uplifting world of French wines!

Since 2010, the Vins de France brand has been owned by Baltic Pack EST. Initially, we represented eight wine estates in the Provence and Rhône valley and imported their products. Today, we have more than 350 high-quality wines and drinks in our selection. The wine assortment comes from approximately 60 different producers. Since 2011, we have been cooperating with the Estonian Sommelier Association (ESA), which has helped to contribute to the appearance of our products in restaurants and wine bars. Over the years, we have participated in ESA Wine Fairs, training, and tastings and actively developed Estonian wine culture. Baltic Pack EST is also a supporting member of ESA.

Our wide range includes - white wines, red wines, rosé wines, sparkling wines, dessert wines, champagnes, cognac, armagnac, rum, calvados, gin, marc, and various liqueurs. Several well-known wine estates from different regions of France are represented - Alsace, Burgundy, Champagne, the Loire Valley, the Jura, the Rhône Valley, Provence, Bordeaux, and Sud Ouest. We are proud of our selection of champagnes, as we represent such great producers as Pol Roger, Egly-Ouriet, Agrapart, Gonet-Medéville, JM Labruyère, Royal Riviera and Georges Vesselle.

In our selection you will find wines from well-known producers - Jacques Prieur, Olivier Leflaive, Domaine Ostertag, Domaine Huet, Domaine Laporte, Tardieu-Laurent, Château la Canorgue, Domaine de la Janasse, Domaine Rolet, Bertrand-Bergé, Clos Bagatelle, Mas Amiel, Sieur d'Arques, Château du Cedre, Château Montus et al. The gems of the assortment come from the Provence region, from our "roots" - the wine estates of Château Vignelaure, Château Simone, Château de Bellet, Domaine Gavoty, Domaine de la Croix and Château de Pibarnon. We also offer stronger drinks, for example - Calvados Jean-Roger Groult, Cognac Leopold Gourmel, Armagnac Sempé and liqueurs Maison Trenel.

The love for French wines arose in 2005 while vacationing in the south of France. The selection on Estonian store shelves at that time was disappointing, and the idea came to start importing these great wines to Estonia. My first collaborators were Château Minuty, king of rosé wines from Provence, and Château de Pibarnon, an icon of red wines from the town of Bandol.

• In January 2010, I started studying at the Estonian Sommelier's Private School, graduating in the spring of 2012 with a sommelier's diploma.
• In 2010, I became a member of the Baltic Pack EST team, representing my product portfolio under the name "Vins de France". I am still a sales manager/ sommelier there, and over time the product range has expanded.
• 2012 - 2nd place in the "Best Estonian Sommelier 2012" competition
• 2012 - "Vana Tallinn GP” 2012 "5th-8th place among 12 participating competitors • 2013 -place in the grand finale at the "Best Estonian Sommelier” competition
• 2014 -place in the semi-finale at the "Best Estonian Sommelier” competition
• From then on, I have been active in competitions on the other side of the table, i.e., as a member of a dignified jury. I have also been a member of the jury of the Latvian, Lithuanian and Baltic championships.
• Since 2012, I have been a lecturer at the Estonian Sommelier's Private School and a member of the school council since.
• I have trained both professionals and those who are just interested in wine, organizing various tastings, wine dinners, and wine trips.
• In 2011, I became a member of the Estonian Sommelier Association (ESA) and was in board of the organisation in years 2012-2018.
• In 2013, I was commissioned to write an article on the Provence wine for “Vine” magazine. My thoughts on the world of wine have been published in various publications about 60 times - "Edasi.org", "Edasi", "Vine", "Köök", "Oma Maitse", "Arter" etc.
• In 2018 and 2020, I was awarded the "Kalev Kesküla Prize", which is awarded by ESA and the Kalev Kesküla family to the author of the best wine and food article in the country.
• Among other things, I have visited many wine fairs, tastings, and trainings every year. I have visited 200+ wineries and talked to and learned from dozens of winemakers.
• This has been my journey so far in the world of wine, where for the last sixteen years I have been committed to introducing and selling French wines and promoting wine and food culture and responsible alcohol consumption.

I first came into contact with French wines in 2014 when I started working for Baltic Pack EST, a company that sells packaging materials and equipment. Even then, Baltic Pack EST imported and represented quality French wines under the brand name "Vins de France". My interest and curiosity in the world of wine grew, and in 2015 I started studying at the Estonian Sommelier's Private School.

Since 2017, I have been working as a sales manager-sommelier for the Vins de France team. In addition to selling wines, I also organize wine trainings and dinners.
