On November 27, 2025, Maison Chavin was awarded the RMC-BFM Export Trophy, marking a new milestone in the exceptional rise of the Béziers-based company, which has become in just fifteen years one of the world’s leading producers of premium non-alcoholic wines. Founded in 2010 by Mathilde Boulachin a visionary entrepreneur and a prominent French figure in the NOLO (No/Low Alcohol) movement Chavin today embodies boldness, innovation, and international ambition.
Presented in Paris before an audience of major economic stakeholders, this prestigious award recognizes a business model built on global expansion from day one. With 90% of its production exported, a presence in more than 60 countries, 2.5 million units produced, and €15 million in annual revenue, Maison Chavin has become a key ambassador of French creativity and premium NOLO expertise within a rapidly growing category.
For Mathilde Boulachin, the award confirms the strength of a strategy based on anticipation and the ability to craft premium non-alcoholic wines that meet the expectations of consumers around the world.
“Export has been at the heart of our model since the very beginning. This recognition shows that French companies have everything to gain by embracing international markets, innovating, and daring to step off the beaten path.”
Chavin’s journey is also that of an independent company built by a woman entrepreneur in a historically male-dominated sector an inspiring trajectory that reflects the evolution of contemporary business models and the ability of French industries to reinvent themselves through innovation.
With this new distinction, Maison Chavin reaffirms its ambition: to champion the French vision of NOLO, promote exceptional know-how, and encourage companies to view international development as a decisive strategic lever.
