The Laboxavin story: from passion on the field to your table
The Laboxavin adventure wasn't built behind a screen, but on the ground. It all began with an immersion in the world of wine within the cellars of Western France. It was here, among the bottles, that Paul, the founder of Laboxavin, passionately forged his path.
A journey forged through contact with French terroirs
Starting out as a delivery driver for a wine merchant, Paul learned the trade from the ground up, working closely with the products and producers. Now managing your online wine shop, he climbed the ranks, developing a refined palate and a deep understanding of wine lovers' expectations. Today, he collaborates daily with professionals and enthusiasts from all over France to bring this project to life.
This dual expertise – field experience and networking – is the DNA of Laboxavin. We select hidden gems that we discover ourselves or that are recommended to us by our trusted partners.
Paul's philosophy: wines that tell a story
Beyond the technical aspects, the Laboxavin selection is above all a matter of the heart. Paul has a soft spot for wines with character, those that have their own identity and a story to tell.
He has a particular fondness for the duality of French terroirs: from the raw, sun-drenched power of a Pic Saint-Loup in Languedoc-Roussillon to the refined elegance of a Chinon from the Loire Valley . This quest for authenticity leads us to the Côtes du Rhône and many other regions to bring you wines from passionate winemakers. For us, a "gem" is a wine capable of surprising, moving, and transforming a simple meal into a memorable experience.
