Chavin - When sommellerie meets non-alcoholic innovation: The alliance of Chavin and Fabrice Sommier

Maison Chavin, pioneer and French leader in premium alcohol-removed wines, is taking a new step in its journey by partnering with Fabrice Sommier, Meilleur Ouvrier de France Sommellerie and a prominent figure in the world of wine. Together, they merge their expertise to reinvent alcohol-free tasting and open new horizons for contemporary gastronomy.

A MEETING OF VALUES AND VISION

At the heart of this alliance lies mutual admiration and a shared vision: that of a free, diverse, and responsible approach to consumption. Mathilde Boulachin, founder of Chavin, and Fabrice Sommier share the same ambition—to challenge established codes and restore taste and emotion to the very essence of the tasting experience.
Impressed by Chavin’s boldness and determination, Fabrice Sommier highlights the exceptional quality of the Maison’s alcohol-removed cuvées, capable of offering true pleasure without alcohol molecules.

SOMMELIER EXPERTISE AT THE SERVICE OF INNOVATION

In a context where moderation has become a true art of living, this partnership marks a turning point. For Fabrice Sommier, the role of the sommelier extends far beyond wine: it embraces all beverages that convey emotion and quality. His expert insight enriches Chavin’s creative and technical approach, fostering a dialogue between oenological savoir-faire and sensory precision.
Together, they explore new gastronomic pairings and craft a narrative of excellence around alcohol-free alternatives.

A FIRST ACHIEVEMENT

The first milestone of this collaboration will take place during the celebration of Maison Chavin’s 15th anniversary at the Hôtel de Crillon in September 2025, where Fabrice Sommier will lead a guided tasting of Chavin Zéro – Vin de France. This event will symbolically mark the entry of alcohol-removed wines into a world of exception, where tradition and modernity unite in service of taste.

A SHARED FUTURE DRIVEN BY EXCELLENCE

With this alliance, Chavin reaffirms its position as an innovative and committed leader in the world of alcohol-free beverages. Alongside Fabrice Sommier, the Maison is determined to continue its mission: offering refined, inclusive, and responsible alternatives that captivate both gastronomy professionals and consumers seeking new tasting experiences.
