Markets are entered.Positions are built.
Ordine Ermetico is a French company based in Reims, in the heart of Champagne. We bring French houses of Champagne, wine, luxury and beauty to India, and build their presence there as their exclusive importer and distributor.
French houses. Indian markets.
Why we work the way we do
Commercial relationships require architecture.
Entering a market is not simply a matter of finding a buyer. It requires an understanding of positioning, distribution, counterparties, and the structure through which a commercial relationship can develop.
We work with a small number of houses, chosen for their quality and because India does not have them yet. For each, we are a single, accountable route to market.
Two directions
From France to India, and back again.
France → India
India → France & Europe
France India
The core
French houses into India
We select French houses with no presence in India yet, and build their entry: licensing path, labels, pricing, channels and partners. Then we import, distribute and develop the brand as exclusive importer and distributor.
India France & Europe
The return route
Indian brands into Europe
The same discipline in reverse. Through our French company, we bring selected Indian brands with credible European potential to France and the EU as their exclusive importer and distributor.

The India–EU agreement
India is lowering its duties on European wine.
Concluded in January 2026, the agreement brings India’s 150% duty on European wine down in steps. Houses that prepare their entry now will be ready as each cut takes effect.
