Intervention
Capital Croissance has significantly strengthened the Group's financial resources to accelerate its development in France and internationally while offering full liquidity to certain historical shareholders.

Founded in 2000 by 3 wine fanatics, iDealwine is a digital sourcing platform for wine enthusiasts.

 

Described as a veritable “Aladdin’s cave”, the Group has established itself as the leading online auctioneer of high-end wines, with a community of nearly 650,000 wine lovers.

 

Moreover, iDealwine is one of the key actors in the online sale of “modern” wines, providing their customers with direct access to a network of more than 700 vineyards and winemakers partners.

 

The Group has succeeded in capitalising on the past experiences of their founders, as well as the expertise of their teams to develop the iDealwine wines rating. Their vintage wine market analyses are definitely seen as reliable references for cellar management for individuals and professionals.

 

The three co-founders (Angélique de Lencquesaing, Cyrille Jomand, and Lionel Cuenca) daily lead iDealwine’s teams of nearly 50 passionate employees, all working “in service of wine, those who make it and those who share it, since 2000”.
