Started in 1979 when Frenchman Jean-Claude Schmitt came to England with his English wife Suzanne, The French Wine People are  wine merchants in Matlock Derbyshire with customers throughout  Great Britain and Europe. We are wine importers, wine wholesalers, restaurant wine suppliers and retailers. Over the past twenty years we have built up a good reputation for sourcing fine French wines from small Chateaux and vineyards, where we personally know the growers. Many make award winning wines which are only available through us. Through group buying we also supply some of the smaller, boutique orientated brands, at competitive prices or wines with “ personality “ from most countries in the world. Cristal Champagne from Louis Roederer or the full range from Cloudy Bay are just two examples. The French Wine People - independant wine merchants in Derbyshire - are based in Matlock opposite the RBS car park,  in a Victorian courtyard  with a showroom, extensive cellars, storage and parking. Periodically throughout the year we organise Wine Tastings in our Derbyshire wine shop or in local hotels with growers and wine makers (ask to be put on our mailing list for invitations). As a leading Derbyshire wine merchant we can organise group tastings either at your home or at your business premises.  We also provide Nationwide deliveries on fine wines, wine gifts, sales incentives, Christmas wines or birthday ideas. View The French Wine People online gift service to see an extensive range of exciting one bottle, two bottle and three bottle wine packs or cases of wines.40th birthday wine gifts, 50th birthday wine gifts or 60th birthday wine or brandy gifts to celebrate a special birthday are also a speciality. For a wine  delivery, presents for men or presents for women,  in Derbyshire or indeed any UK or EU address we will assure  a complete service.
