Founded in 1986 by Breton-born Patrick Jouan, Le Bon Vin Ltd has grown into one of the UK’s leading independent wine merchants. Alongside his Yorkshire-born wife Dianne and a dedicated team of over 20 staff , Patrick has built a strong nationwide trade network, while also becoming the UK Master Franchisor for Cavavin France.
Based in Sheffield, near Meadowhall and the city’s historic iron foundries, we supply carefully selected wines and spirits to independent retailers, off-licences, pub groups, and wine merchants across the UK.
We have acquired our own private secure excise customs bonded warehouse half mile from our existing warehouse offices and shop. We can offer a complete service dedicated to help our customers either in England or abroad.
Through direct sourcing, industry expertise, and personal service, we help our customers offer distinctive wines and spirits that stand out in an increasingly competitive market.
