NICOLAS

The story begins at the time when wine was drunk in taverns or wine shops. And if in the mood to eat at home, we had to go to a wine merchant or directly to the producer to buy a barrel! It is from this observation that Louis Nicolas invented a new concept in wine sales that would revolutionize the habits of consumption and trading: bottled wine.


Founded in 1822, the Nicolas House had at that time a main shop at 53 rue Sainte-Anne and three depots in Paris. The idea of providing a superior and consistent quality at a reasonable price created the reputation of the House.
