What VINS REMY LIBOUREAU SA.(REMY LIBOUREAU) does

VINS REMY LIBOUREAU SA (commercial name Rémy Liboureau) is a French family-owned beverage and dry-goods distributor serving professional buyers across western France. The company operates from six locations — a 7,000m² headquarters in Saint-Mesmin, regional warehouses in Aizenay, Dompierre-sur-Mer, Pornichet and La Crèche, and the Île d'Yeu subsidiary Yeu Boisson Naud — running 350+ daily deliveries through an owned logistics fleet and 25 field commercial agents. It carries a broad catalog of more than 1,500 wine references, over 45,000 HL/year of beer, 70+ tonnes/year of coffee, plus spirits, softs, teas and épicerie / dry goods, marketed to cafés, hôtels, restaurants (CHR), cavistes, bars & pubs and GMS / collectivités.

The business is run as a négociant-éleveur without proprietary technology platforms, with commercial activity conducted through the company website, a B2B customer ordering portal (client.remy-liboureau.fr) and direct field sales. Differentiated activity is concentrated in the Philosophie wine sub-brand, which uses consigned reusable glass bottles collected, washed and traced through a partnership with Bout à Bout; this positions Rémy Liboureau within the circular-economy segment of beverage distribution. The company is also a member of the C10 network of independent French beverage distributors, which provides aggregated purchasing power and promotional reach.

Rémy Liboureau is structured as a SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée), remains under family control across five generations since 1896, and is currently led by Éric Liboureau, who succeeded his father Ivan in 2009. The firm has no external investors, no public listing, and discloses no revenue figures. Pricing is catalog-based, applied at the tariff in force on the delivery date, with cash-on-delivery payment terms and a 15% advance requirement for alcoholic beverage orders.
