During Vinexpo in Bordeaux, growers inevitably meet and often come to like the people on the stands around them. This was what lead Jean-François Janoueix to found the Vignobles et Signatures club. "Would you be so kind as to mind my stand for a few minutes ?" By standing in for each other, growers realised how complementary their different productions could be. The idea of forming a group that represented the main appellations of French wines was born. In 1984, this idea metamorphosed into a club under whose umbrella gathered eight wine-producing names already respected throughout France. It was probably the first growers’ club on such a scale.
