About Three French Vines

Three French Vines was founded on a simple idea: that Champagne is at its best when it comes from the people who actually grow the grapes. We fell in love with small, family-run Champagne houses, the ones with a story behind every bottle, and set out to bring a handful of the very best to New Zealand.

We work exclusively with six independent, multi-generational Champagne houses: Jean Josselin, Marion-Bosser, Monmarthe, Achille Princier, Cristian Senez, and Paul Launois. Each is rooted in a single terroir rather than a large negociant blend, and each carries its own history, its own hands in the vineyard, and its own character in the glass.

Alongside our Champagne range, we also import a small selection of boutique Bordeaux estates. Everything we bring in is chosen because we genuinely love it, not because of a big name, but because of the story and the people behind it.

Three French Vines is online only, based in Auckland and delivering nationwide. There's no shop or cellar door.

Three French Vines is owned and run by Tim Fenwick, who bought the business in 2025. It trades through Ivory Limited, licensed under Off-Licence No. 007/OFF/50/2026. If you'd like to know more about any of our growers, get in touch. We love talking about this stuff.
