A Well-Crafted Work
“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.
In our quest to live a life of “well-crafted work,” we offer the core pillars of who we are, what we believe, and what we do. It is with gratitude that our customers continually choose our products, and we endeavor to honor that trust through our commitment to our values.

Current Offers
Discover new Island Wines from Mallorca
Our two favorite guardians of Mallorcan viticultural heritage have some fresh vintages and first-time-in-the-states offerings landing on our shores. Showcasing indigenous varietals unique to the island, Bàrbara Mesquida Mora and Tomeu Llabrés embody the heart & soul of the largest Balearic, far from it’s reputation as a haven for tourists fleeing chillier climes. Explore these transportive, very limited wines in our new offer.
The Future of French Artisan Spirits
There is a shared sense amongst our new French distilleries regarding their individual traditions and histories – they’re more complicated and regionally-specific than might be expected. Whether its the cold-climate, barley-producing heritage of the Hauts-de-France near Belgium and the English Channel; an exploration of the long and storied conversation between the Sud-Ouest and Ireland; or the slow, methodical, generational progress of a family invested in making honest, estate Cognac; these spirits have depth and character that invite consideration and study, revealing more and more with each sip. Find out about them in the offer below.
Txakolina Pioneers Keep Innovating
Two of our most enduring partners, Doniene Gorrondona and Uriondo, were among the founding members of the Bizkaiko Txakolina DO back in 1994. Their tradition of fighting for the indigenous grapes and viticultural methods of their Basque region still motivate them today, as tasted in these outstanding new vintages – now in stock.
The Next Wave of Bordeaux Hits Our Shores
Following the US launch of Vérac’s Domaine de Valmengaux, this spring offer features two more new-school Bordeaux producers that have revolutionary intent, while displaying the range of potential styles bringing fresh excitement to this venerable region: St-Émilion Grand Cru’s Château Arcole and Château Puynard, from Blaye, Côtes de Bordeaux.
New Wineries from the Loire and Rhône
As winter relents and the calendar flips to spring, join us as we share two wineries whose uncompromising, seriously-organic viticulture yields some of the tastiest, most enjoyable bottles from their respective French river valleys – Anjou’s Châteaux du Breuil et de la Roche and the Southern Rhône’s Domaine des Garriguettes.
Can Season is Coming – Be Prepared!
De Maison’s tradition of innovation took another leap when we introduced some of our most beloved products in the portable, recyclable can format. As warmer weather approaches, make sure to be equipped for backyard barbecues, beach days, river tubing trips, and bonfire-side porróning with these vin de soif-style wines and crisp Basque ciders.

Avinyó Continues to Overdeliver, Discovers NBC News
At New York’s iconic Astor Wines, one of our most beloved go-to bottles shows why its a great choice for celebrating New Year’s Eve, or simply any weekday’s eve.
Clos Cibonne, “continuously redefining notions of what rosé can be”
Absolutely irreplicable, Provence’s Clos Cibonne has always pushed against the boundaries of a category that is too often painted in broad strokes. In the link below, Punch explores their wide-ranging influence.
The No/Low conversation continues with Muri Drinks
Since a leaving “a series of boring corporate jobs in finance,” Murray Paterson has been a pioneer in using fermentation, carbonic maceration, and an array of culinary techniques to build a complex, delicious, and innovative line of beverages, coming soon to the States through De Maison Selections. Link to his conversation with Julia Bainbridge below.

A Fresh, Biodynamic Perspective on the Southern Rhône
Sébastien Clément is the proud inheritor of his family’s naturally-farmed vineyards in Châteauneuf de Gadagne, as well as that of the Provençal Occitan culture of his ancestors. He and his delicious single-varietal Rhône wines from Domaine des Garriguettes are carrying on both traditions with boundless enthusiasm.
Bordeaux Pirates Set Sail
A legendary region in the midst of sweeping change, Bordeaux has, in recent years, attracted a wave of innovators from within and outside its borders. Our three new Bordeaux wineries share an admiration for this venerable terroir, but divert from the conventional viticultural approach, pursuing a decisively natural course in both the vineyard and the cellar. Their sense of urgency in rescuing Bordeaux from its old ways has brought us enthusiastically on board their journey.
A Talented Team and Exceptional Loire Terroir in Perfect Harmony
Thanks to the visionary guidance and humility of Michel Petitbois (since 2006, the owner of the historic Châteaux du Breuil et de la Roche), a team centered around sommelier and winemaker David Vigan has coalesced, each individual contributing their diverse skills to the overall mission of this stunning estate. Featuring an uncompromising commitment to regenerative agriculture, the thriving, living soils of Breuil produce some of the most exciting organic wines we’ve yet come across in the Middle Loire.
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.
