Une Femme is a rapidly growing brand of Champagne & sparkling wines made by women winemakers and supporting women-led charitable causes.
Of the massive 40B+ Champagne market, 100% of the top-10 brands are over 100 years old.
None are owned by a woman, focused on women, or particularly savvy in their online presence.
We are building that brand.
Now, more than ever, women are reassessing every single item they buy and voting with their wallets.
We at Une Femme look forward to being the wine brand that women think of when celebrating big accomplishments and significant moments in their lives.
