SAN FRANCISCO, July 22 2015 – San Francisco based Maritime Wine Trading Collective has been named the exclusive USA importer and sales and marketing agent for Burgundy based Badet-Clement & Co., owners and négociants of the prestige Domaines et Vins de Propriété (DVP) Burgundy and Rhone estates portfolio. Badet-Clément produces the internationally successful and popular southern French “Les Jamelles” brand and transacts wines from three of France’s major wine producing regions: Languedoc-Roussillon, Burgundy and the Rhone Valley. Founded in 1989, DVP is now headed by Laurent Delaunay, whose family has produced Burgundy wines for five generations.

With the arrangement, Maritime will be responsible for all of the winery’s sales and marketing efforts in the United States.

Maritime founder Chris Nickolopoulos states: “Partnering with Badet-Clement and their fantastic DVP portfolio and Les Jamelles wines is consistent with Maritime’s fundamental approach to portfolio management and marketing: to identify unique family-owned producers and portfolios from both the world’s great and emerging wine producing regions and place them in strategically relevant US wine trading markets, channels and accounts.

Laurent Delaunay principal and founder of Badet-Clement states: “Our partnership with Maritime will enable us to be more focused in channel sales and increase our volume and profitability. They possess in-market management talent and knowledge that will shine a spotlight on our wines with our wholesale partners by acting as an extension to our brands.”
