“A great wine is like a work of art. It awakens subtle, sophisticated pleasures that enrich our lives.”
The soul of a négociant
Forty-seven years ago, in the Chartrons district — where the history of the great wine merchants still echoes — three men laid the foundations of what would become DIVA Bordeaux.
Their intuition told them that great wines should not remain confined within the boundaries of their appellations… They carry within them a culture, that of European complexity, a way of life.
From the very beginning, DIVA’s founders had to earn their legitimacy. Most were not from Bordeaux, coming from backgrounds where one is not born among the barrels. That difference, far from being a handicap, became our signature: that of a house that takes nothing for granted and cultivates excellence as others cultivate their vines.
Global distribution, the art of building cultural bridges
This global presence did not happen by chance. It has been patiently woven, market by market, relationship by relationship, since 1979.
96% of our business reaches beyond borders
But that figure tells only part of the story. The real adventure unfolds in the offices of our importers in Seoul, around a tasting table in Hong Kong, or over dinner with a distributor in New York.
60 countries, 700 active clients
Behind these numbers are faces, stories, and trust built year after year. We do not simply deliver bottles. We support entrepreneurs who, like us, have chosen Bordeaux wines to tell a story to their own clients. Their success is ours. Their challenges matter to us. Their passion resonates with our own.
“Each market transforms us. In Korea, I discovered that mutual respect is not merely courtesy, it is a language. In Hong Kong, excellence is never negotiable. In the United States, boldness is part of the game.”
Our geographic footprint reveals our philosophy
This diversification is not the result of a cold, calculated commercial strategy. It reflects our deep conviction that excellence transcends borders, that the beauty of a great wine deserves to be shared, always with respect for each culture’s identity.

Guardians of heritage
Grands Crus Classés
“Our Grands Crus are not products, they are witnesses.”
In our temperature-controlled storage facility, where 700,000 bottles lie at rest, each one tells a story. The story of an exceptional vintage, of a passionate winemaker who knew how to read the sky and understand his land, of a unique terroir that exists nowhere else.
Our privileged collection includes
Over 100 En-Primeur wines each year: future legends we support from the very beginning.
Exceptional allocations: the result of decades of mutual trust with the greatest châteaux.
Absolute guarantee of origin: our signature, our moral commitment.
The support we provide
goes far beyond the commercial dimension. It is about building bridges between the châteaux and wine lovers around the world:
Estate visits where lasting friendships are born between owners and importers.
Tasting dinners that become unforgettable memories, moments of oenological grace.
Encounters between winemakers and enthusiasts: because true luxury lies in the authenticity of exchange.
The splendor of authenticity
Family Estates
Each cuvée carries the emotional signature of its winemaker.
Our 100 estates are selected with the same heartfelt rigor that guides all our decisions. Of course, value for money must be impeccable. But what we seek above all is that ability to move us, to surprise us, to tell the story of a terroir and a family.
Our ever-expanding organic range reflects a commitment that goes far beyond marketing. To respect the land that sustains us is to respect future generations. It is to understand that our choices have an impact and that today’s viticulture shapes the landscapes of tomorrow.
Excellence has no passport
World Icons
In 1998, DIVA was selected among only ten négociants to distribute Almaviva on the Place de Bordeaux.
“That day, we understood that our mission extended beyond Bordeaux, that excellence calls for excellence.”
Opus One, Masseto, Ornellaia, Solaia… These names resonate far beyond their terroirs of origin. They speak a universal language, one of passion, authenticity, and work pursued with a level of dedication that borders on obsession.
Logistics, the discreet art
The perfection of the unseen
Yorrick Teisseire, our Logistics Director, has a beautiful phrase that perfectly captures our philosophy: “A poorly stored bottle is a broken dream.”
In our warehouses, every detail matters. Not out of sterile technical obsession, but out of deep respect for the winemaker’s work and the expectations of the wine lover.
Our approach:
- Total traceability
- Tailor-made transport
- Carefully selected partners
Sales Administration: when every detail matters
Our administrative teams do more than process orders – they support human projects. Aurélie, Eun, Camille, Alison, Noémie… each understands the cultural specificities of markets, anticipates clients’ expectations, and grasps the challenges they face.
“Innovation is like a great wine, it must respect its essence while constantly reinventing itself.”
Innovation and modernity
When tradition embraces the future
Our dedicated, personalized platform is not designed to dazzle with technology. Its purpose is simply to streamline exchanges, simplify relationships, and allow our clients to focus on what truly matters: introducing great wines to their own customers.
Our sourcing tools protect authenticity at a time when counterfeiting poses a real threat. Our solutions safeguard the integrity of fine wines. At DIVA, true innovation lies in remaining deeply human in an increasingly digital world.
