Continously Seeking Excellence in Our Craft
Del most flor, amb la dedicació i el rigor de l’obra artesanal ben feta. This Catalan saying graces the label of the first wine we imported, Avinyó Cava, and translates as “starting with the best part of the harvest, and exerting the dedication and rigor of a well-crafted work.” It is an idea which has guided our company philosophy since 1996. This concept of respecting the integrity of the source material with dedicated care drives us in our quest to work thoughtfully, share authentic culinary and cultural experiences, and leave things better than we found them.

Current Offers
Châteaux du Breuil et de La Roche Offer
The vineyards of the central Loire Valley have been a source of both legendary wines known throughout the centuries, as well as a rapidly maturing new guard of producers that make a habit of defying expectation. The team at Châteaux du Breuil represent those facets and more, and the house style makes that evident through their gorgeous living soils, organic viticulture, and precise winemaking. Their expressions of chenin blanc and grolleau rouge are both textbook and dynamic.
Domaine des Garriguettes Offer
The refreshing humility and irresistible energy of winemaker Sébastien Clément are much-appreciated traits here amongst the serious, storied producers of Châteauneuf-de-Pape. Displaying a disposition more indicative of the sunny Mediterranean coast than the Papal legacy, Sébastien, and likewise his wines, grown in the village of Châteauneuf de Gadagne, remind us why we fell in love with the Southern Rhône in the first place.
Domaine Vincent Gaudry Reservation & Offer
Sancerre’s Obi-Wan Kenobi is back with his next release of soulful, profound sauvignon blanc, as well as a very special lieu-dit Sancerre Rouge, not to be missed. These poetic wines demonstrate a fluency in Loire terroir that few possess, but Vincent has attained through the wisdom passed down by the winemakers of the past, and his reverence and connection to the land.
A New Generation of Galician Excellence
It’s rare in any vocation to pass on a legacy of brilliance and success from one generation to the next. The Méndez family of Do Ferreiro, however, has successfully done just that, and has made it look easy. Regional vanguard and albariño champion Gerardo has witnessed his children, Manuel and Encarna, seamlessly take over winemaking and operations, producing vintage after vintage of stunning Rías Baixas wine, maintaining the family’s trademark amiability, hospitality, and humility all the while. The just-arrived, limited-availability 2023 vintage is a testament to that.
Basque Wine’s History & Future
Oenologist & winemaker Itziar Insausti of DGTX (aka Doniene Gorrondona) has been at pushing against the artificial frontiers delimiting what txakoli can be since before she and her cohort founded the Bizkaiko Txakolina DO in 1994. Her wines embrace site-specificity, lees-aging, and the continuous tending of very old vines of indigenous varieties, restoring the international acclaim once appended to the products of this land, while maintaining their modern reputation for pleasure and levity.
Rosé Rollout 2025
Our diverse range of exciting, category-defining and -defying rosés offers something for everyone, and every season—from crisp/mineral/spritzy aperitifs, to skin-contact wines with abundant texture and age-ability, to the convenience of cans. Explore our offerings below.
In the Press
Rioja’s Destiny Comes into Alignment with Telmo Rodríguez’s Vision
Since the first vintage in 2010, Lindes de Remelluri has been Telmo Rodríguez and Pablo Eguzkiza’s way of elevating awareness of the work of Rioja’s vinegrowers. By showcasing the terroir of villages, rather than emphasizing barrel aging, the Lindes project spearheaded the overdue changes that are now part of a wider revolution within Spain’s most famous denominación de origen. In this Wine Advocate article, Luis Gutierrez checks in on the region, highlighting how Lindes de Remelluri is redefining Rioja with the 2021 vintage (scoring them 93-95 points).
Accolades Abound for Pegaso Winemaker Marc Isart
The Iberian Peninsula, garnacha’s homeland, is bursting with wines demonstrating the stunning variety of the grape—a notion we’re, well, somewhat familiar with. The distinct style of highland garnacha coming from Sierra de Gredos, represented by Compañía de Vinos’ Pegaso, is just one such example, earning Marc Isart Beth Willard’s Winemaker of the Year (in Tim Atkin MW’s Gredos report), along with high scores and high praise from Decanter’s tasting panel.
Manu Méndez is Young Winemaker of the Year in Rías Baixas
In accordance with the top rankings earned by his recent vintages at Do Ferreiro, Manuel Méndez has been honored by Tim Atkin MW in his late-2024 Rías Baixas Special Report. It should go without saying that we couldn’t agree more.
Sommeliers Choose De Maison as one of the US’s Best French Wine Importers
It’s an honor to be recognized among of our respected peers as one of the Best French Wine Importers here in the US. From newer partners like Champagne Christian Gosset and Château des Vergers in Beaujolais, back to our very first French import, the iconic Chéreau Carré, our French portfolio continues to grow and expand with honest, family producers representing the most exciting regions.
New at De Maison Selections
Naguelann Whisky de Bretagne
Lénaïck Lemaitre has already amassed 10 years of whisky-making experience in his native Brittany–and that’s on top of his time selling, aging, and blending prior to founding Naguelann Distillerie. These five whiskies are a showcase of Lénaïck’s unique balance of technique and vision, and like Brittany as a whole, are unique in the world.
Château Lestage-Darquier Grand Poujeaux & Château Anthonic
The Cordonnier family have exemplified the virtues of earth-focused viticulture at their Château Anthonic estate for years. Recently, with the purchase of ten hectares of prime vineyards in the east of Moulis-en-Médoc on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, they’ve taken their knowledge, skill, and passion to the next echelon as the new proprietors of Château Lestage-Darquier Grand Poujeaux. Their inaugural vintage, exclusively available stateside through De Maison Selections, represents a fundamental sea change for peak-quality Bordeaux, and how it’s farmed and made.
Ibar Basque Highland Whisky
The picturesque Basque landscape, known for its craggy mountains, lush valleys, and epic seascapes, has few parallels in the world. For fans of malt whisky, however, the terrain might evoke the Scottish Highlands, and indeed, the same material qualities are abundantly present in both regions. So when Gabriel Acha embarked on his journey of making high-quality Basque whisky in the style of Scotch, it made all too much sense to us. The result, Ibar Basque Mountain Whisky, however, is even better than expected, and a real testament to the skill of the Destilerías Acha team in harnessing the bounty of their terroir. Join us for a dram of their new 3-year or 8-year, and topa!
Cans
The same spirit that drove us to be the first US importer to offer high-quality products in the keg format similarly inspired us to bring txakoli, sidra naturala, vino rosado, and pétillant from Spain in cans, thus expanding the opportunities for enjoyment of these authentic, light-hearted, thirst-quenching expressions.
Kegs
In our constant pursuit of innovation, especially as it pertains to provenance and maintaining freshness, we are pleased to offer an expanding range of wines, ciders, and vermouths in one-way, 20L recyclable keg format. Our selection is focused on the vin de soif category, with an emphasis on quality, food-friendliness, versatility, sustainability, and drinkability.
