Maison Breban is renowned as one of the last family-owned companies specializing in artisanal sparkling wines from Southern France. Established in 1952, the House of Breban Wines ("Vins Breban") has a rich history of producing a diverse range of wines, each distinguished by unique styles and aromas, and supplying them to both restaurants and retail distributors. This legacy traces back to 1942 when Raymond, the grandfather and founder, began making sparkling wine in his garage. He then expanded the offering to include a comprehensive range of Provencal wines. Over the decades, two generations have carried on the business, maintaining the same dedication to quality and passion. Today, Maison Breban is acclaimed both in France and globally for its exceptional wines from Provence and its premium, handcrafted sparkling wines.
