La Flî’ te La Flî’ te

Company of import-export high quality Champagne from selected wineyards.

They opened in Italy the first Concept Store, that is not only a Bar a Champagne but also a school where people can learn more about Champagne and how to match with gastronomy.

Competitors Competitors

La Flûte as a Concept Store hasn’t got competitors in Italy. If we speak about Bar a Champagne, there are some italian examples. The point is that a Concept Store is radically different from a Bar a Champagne: you enter the former not only to buy nut to live an experience, savour aromas and discover colours and messages.

On the other hand, La Flûte as Champagne selector and distributor has got absolutely lower competitors.

TargetTarget

Real target: _ adult, 40/50 years old, good wine and high quality food lover, well-off.

Designed target: _ young, 25/35 years old, experimenting will, quality lover, looking for new flavours and matches.

Price range Price range

Champagne you can buy at La Flûte are rigorously selected and unique; so its price range is between 40€ and 200€.

Instead, in supermakets it’s possible to find champagne from 3€ to 190€.

The difference stands in quality and research.
