Thanks to BMT, Quebec has become my most important export market in 8 years.It’s an extremely dynamic and young agency that knows the wine market in Quebec perfectly and knows how to adapt to the needs of the SAQ, while also being proactive in maintaining very good sales levels for my Loire wines. It’s a pleasure to work closely with this agency, which also listens to me and cares about my daily work so that I can bring the best of my expertise and terroir to the shelves of the SAQ or in restaurants through the increasingly developed private imports, with dedicated and passionate representatives. Without a doubt, the BMT agency, through its professionalism, the seriousness of its team, and its excellent relationship skills, has contributed and continues to contribute to the growth of my vineyard as well as my flagship brand, Le Grand Ballon, whose current sales levels I never thought possible to achieve. And not to mention the exceptional sales force of BMT and its two founders, Laura Duclos and Manfred Audard!

With 25 years of experience developing our wines from the Southwest in Quebec, I’ve had the opportunity to understand the challenges of this important market for French wines. After collaborating with excellent agencies in the 2000s, I’ve noticed a dual phenomenon since 2010: an acceleration in the concentration of major agencies for big brands and, simultaneously, the emergence of small agencies focused on restaurants and niche products.
The BMT team, through the vision, commitment, efforts, and ambition of its founders, Laura & Manfred, is one of the very few agencies to have positioned itself between these two trends and thus created real opportunities in the market for distinctive wines, tailored to the tastes of Quebec consumers but with true development potential. I am convinced by their strategy and delighted to have made the decision to join them in 2020!
Long live BMT!

Together with BMT, we have achieved and continue to achieve very positive results in Quebec, and more recently, in other Canadian provinces as well.
BMT has a dynamic, energetic team, always available and eager to find new opportunities. We are confident that we will continue to grow together as partners in the future.
Afonso Nogueira, Export director (Europe, Portugal)
We changed partners in Quebec in January 2021 to work with Importations BMT. We immediately noticed the difference. More commitment, more precision in actions, more responsiveness, more passion…
Professionalism at all levels, good atmosphere, and humor make it a pleasure to work with this team. The results quickly followed suit.
In short, Importations BMT is an exciting company!
Philippe Meurant, Export director (France, Champagne)
From my perspective, BMT has a distinctive style in the world of representation agencies in Canada; a style based on a “new” approach, more marketing-oriented, more creative in how it approaches the market and the tenders of monopolies. This sensitivity is accompanied by a great deal of market analysis, research, project development, and on-the-ground support for products. Throughout our years of collaboration, our relationship has proven to be extremely close-knit, and our bonds have strengthened thanks to commercial successes, but also through the obstacles we have faced together.

At Bodegas Esteban Martin, we trust BMT and we are very satisfied with their professionalism and commitment to us, and the work they help us accomplish year after year. Without a doubt, they are excellent ambassadors for our Carinena wines and a fundamental part of the success of our work.
Eva Roy - Directrice export (Europe, Spain)
It’s very exciting to work with BMT. Manfred and his team have a deep understanding of the Quebec market and how the SAQ operates. We have launched various projects together to promote Italian wines, and I love the energy and approach of the entire team.
BMT is a proactive agency: Manfred knows how to communicate effectively with the SAQ and is always ready to seize new opportunities.
What really sets BMT apart is their dynamism; Most agents tend to show suppliers the limitations of working with a monopoly, while BMT sees the opportunities that such a market offers and provides suppliers with the best suggestions for success. Another added value is their dedication; sometimes I send an email to Manfred at 9:00 in the morning, and he responds after 10 minutes… so often I wonder if this guy sleeps or just works… (laughs) It’s a great feeling to have such a partner managing your interests in such an important market. I’ve been lucky to meet BMT…
