What Champmarket does

Champmarket is a privately held French e-commerce platform founded in 2010 and headquartered in Paris that specializes in the online sale of champagne to both businesses and individual consumers across France and Europe. The company operates a curated catalog of 391+ champagne SKUs sourced from 26+ prestigious Champagne houses, ranging from entry-level quarter bottles at €17 to prestige cuvées and rare trophy formats up to a 30-liter Melchisedec at €6,950. Its technology stack is a multi-language WordPress-based storefront (French, English, Italian, Dutch) with product filtering by house, type, and format, plus gift personalization for corporate orders.

The business runs a dual B2B/B2C model. The direct-to-consumer side provides self-serve champagne purchases with home delivery across France and Europe. The B2B side targets functional buying centers inside companies — Commercial Direction, HR, Office Managers, event planners, liberal professions, independents, and works councils (CSE) — with tailored services for client gifts, employee recognition, multi-destination shipping, and bespoke corporate events. Beyond product sales, Champmarket generates higher-margin revenue by organizing tasting workshops, gastronomic pairing dinners, masterclasses, and immersive days at Champagne houses (€25-€550+ per person), with partnerships extending the offering into gourmet gifts (Le Petit Ballon), customizable candles (Marsault), and event venues (Keeze).

Champmarket is bootstrapped, founder-led, and operates with 1-10 employees, without disclosed funding, outside investors, or public revenue figures. Its go-to-market is digital-first, supplemented by account-based corporate sales for B2B clients, with named enterprise customers including Century 21, Cohen Amir-Aslani, Franklin, and Orange. Free standard shipping kicks in above €300 TTC, and delivery runs 24-48 hours for orders under 18 bottles, with longer lead times for larger volumes and rare formats.
