Empson USA Adds Its First 5 French Wines

Empson USA said it inroduced its first collection of family-owned French estates, further strengthening its position as a leading importer of the world’s finest wines.

The new partnerships, including Château Kirwan (Margaux), Château Malescasse (Haut-Médoc), Château Franc Mayne (Saint-Émilion), Maison de la Chapelle (Burgundy), and Champagne Gérin & Fils, share the values that have long defined Empson USA’s portfolio: authenticity, exceptional terroir, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

While Italy remains the cornerstone of Empson USA’s portfolio, with renowned producers including Fuligni, Costanti, Jankara, Pietradolce, Ferghettina and others, the company has steadily expanded its global reach over the years to include outstanding wineries from Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, and the U.S..

The addition of these distinguished French estates marks the next natural step in Empson USA’s evolution, reflecting its long-term vision of representing exceptional family-owned producers from the world’s greatest wine regions.

The expansion reflects Empson USA’s confidence in the future of fine wine. At a time when the global wine industry continues to navigate changing consumer preferences and market dynamics, the company remains committed to investing in long-term partnerships with producers who share its belief that quality will continue to define the premium wine category for generations to come.

“We are incredibly proud to welcome these exceptional wineries to the Empson USA family,” said Tara Empson, CEO Empson USA. “These partnerships are a symbol of change, and the expansion marks an important milestone in our company’s evolution.

"I am honored to take this step, as it was my father’s dream as an avid lover of French wine and Pinot Noir. His wish was to one day showcase France alongside Italy, two countries that have long been pioneers of quality. I thank all the producers and my team for working together to accomplish this milestone and for having faith in the future of our shared vision.”
