Cuvelier & Fauvarque
Two resounding names, a global leader in the wine industry
It all started in 1787 for Fauvarque, followed shortly afterwards by Cuvelier in 1804. For 230 years, Cuvelier & Fauvarque have offered the North of France exceptional wines. Professional customers, restaurants and also consumers have always trust it. The year 1985 marked the merger of the two into one single company based in a 10,000 m² warehouse. Since then, Cuvelier & Fauvarque is based in Lompret, close to Lille. It is now the north biggest wine dealer, renowned for its expertise, its services provided and its exquisite wines.

About Baptiste Bigo and Wine Palette team
Baptiste Bigo is a true passionate with an international profile. His desire to undertake and innovate led him to create the export subsidiary of Cuvelier & Fauvarque at only 26 years old.
His knowledge of the field, his international experiences as well as his enterprising profile convinced the company. The idea was to innovate in an old structure while perpetuating a family link. It also a way to develop a project with an existing organization. An organisation which has already a stock, an administrative pole, a client portfolio and an importer and exporter number.
Wine Palette was based in the historic premises of Cuvelier & Fauvarque, in Haubourdin (Lille metropolis). The service is quite innovative in this area for a company located in a non-wine producing region…
On 2024, Cuvelier & Fauvarque headquarter move to Lompret, a neighborhood city to developp its activities with a new and moderne buidling. Baptiste Bigo continue to have close relationship with Wine Palette while the company is now leaded by Tom Muselet
