Signature Selections was born in 1986. Its founder, Jeffrey Davies, is a native Californian and a Bordelais by adoption. Ex-wine critic with a comprehensive wine culture and knowledge, he has created a Wine Merchant, that has rapidly become a reference in the wine world. Passionate and committed to his work of passion, he has developed and nurtured privileged relationships with the wineries, but also with the most renown wine critics of the world. 

Year after year, Signature Selections grows and gains international credit both on the French and international scene, while keeping a family spirit, close to growers and their terroirs. Since 2019, Karim Nasser took over the company and is now, since 2025, partner of a wine companies alliance, brought together by Basile Tesseron, all passionate wine enthusiasts with extensive experience in the industry. Their ambition? To Keep the DNA of the company intact. To maintain its artisan spirit and to continue offering the most prestigious wines, but also rising wineries. Last but not least, they will keep sharing their love of wine“.

We are driven by the will and the passion to defend wines that we love. From worldwide renown Grand Crus to hidden gems, still under the radar today, but that we would like you to discover! We don’t judge a wine by its cover (label!) and we don’t only rely on a prestigious brand. What matters the most, to us, is the quality of the wine, the know-how of the winemaker,and the pleasure that we feel when tasting the wine.

We shine the spotlight on wines that are still under the consumer radar. That’s explains why some would describe us as “wine finders”. We bring these wines to the press knowledge so that they can benefit from international coverage. We are trusted by La Place de Bordeaux and beyond. The most esteemed and confidential wineries in California have chosen to solely entrust us the distribution of their wines in Europe and Asia. A historic bond on the international market.

One would say about us that we are « artisan- wine merchant », a defender of the art of wine. Our team is dedicated to the wine and to what it represents. As a team on the field, we regularly come to visit our partners and wineries aiming at building trust and confidence bonds, unique and precious on La Place de Bordeaux. All ears and looking for new nuggets to taste.

Thanks to our long-term experience, we have built a strong partnership with the international wine press. Twice a year, we host tastings for the most famous wine critics, in our office in Bordeaux. A key moment for the wine business as the wines will be reviewed and rated. Wineries, wine merchants and of course, consumers will benefit from these important tastings. An even more strategic time for rising estates.

Let's meet around our mutual passion & business !
