A Story of Friendship and Innovation
Sometimes, the most beautiful ideas are born from life’s simplest needs. For French Bloom co-founders Maggie Frerejean-Taittinger and Constance Jablonski, that moment arrived during a Paris reunion in 2019. Maggie, immersed in the world of fine dining as Director of the Michelin Guide, was expecting twins. Constance, an international top model, was balancing the high-pressure demands of fashion with her passion for well-being. Both women noticed something missing—a truly sophisticated, alcohol-free option to celebrate life’s moments without compromise.
It was there, amidst laughter and a shared quest for balance, that French Bloom was born.
More Than a Drink: A Celebration for All
French Bloom isn’t just about what’s in the glass. It’s about elevating the moment. Their sparkling alcohol-free blends embody the essence of French savoir-faire, offering everyone—regardless of lifestyle—a chance to raise a glass and celebrate.
With an organic, carefully crafted blend of French grapes, French Bloom's Le Blanc and Le Rosé redefine elegance in non-alcoholic beverages. Whether it’s the art of pairing with food, staying mindful of wellness goals, or enjoying real connections with friends and family, French Bloom brings everyone to the table.
Meet the Visionaries
Maggie Frerejean-Taittinger : A foodie and wine connoisseur, Maggie sought an alternative that matched her culinary lifestyle during her pregnancy. Feeling left out of social gatherings, she wanted to keep the celebration alive for everyone.
Constance Jablonski : As a globe-trotting model, Constance champions a mindful approach to life. She discovered that choosing wellness didn’t have to mean sacrificing sophistication or fun.
Together, they teamed up with experts, including Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger, a renowned Champagne producer, to perfect French Bloom’s elegant flavor profiles. The result? Award-winning, organic sparkling blends that feel as celebratory as they taste.
