Our Story

Our Story - L’Archive du Vin

At L’Archive du Vin, we believe that every wine label carries a memory—a story of celebration, connection, and the rich tapestry of life. Our journey began with a simple observation: while we toast with our favorite wines, the labels on those bottles often fade into the background. Yet, for many wine lovers, these labels represent much more than just a brand—they're a keepsake, a reminder of a special moment, a cherished bottle that told a unique story.

The Inspiration

As a personal wine collector, our founder has shared countless memorable moments celebrating life's milestones with friends and family. Inspired to preserve these memories, he began mounting and framing labels from significant bottles, such as his wedding day champagne and the wine enjoyed on the night of his proposal. The enthusiastic feedback from loved ones led him to create L’Archive du Vin—a service dedicated to transforming meaningful wine labels into lasting legacies.

Our All-Inclusive Service

We offer a premium, all-inclusive experience that covers every step—from sending you a custom-designed shipping kit to ensure your bottles arrive safely, to the expert removal and archival preservation of your wine labels. Here’s what makes our service unique:

  • Custom Shipping Kits: We provide you with a specially designed shipping kit, complete with a sturdy, protective box, carefully engineered pulp inserts, and a prepaid return label. This all-in-one kit takes the hassle out of shipping your bottles, ensuring they are securely packaged and making the process completely stress-free.
  • Professional Label Removal & Preservation: Using museum-quality, archival techniques, we gently remove the wine labels from your bottles without damaging their delicate details.
