One Club, men and women from French vineyards,
Sixteen family businesses signing excellence wines
Naturally initiated by Jean-Francois Janoueix at Vinexpo Bordeaux, the place that encourages friendly meetings and discussions, Vignobles & Signatures evolved naturally from these encounters. The Club was first established with 8 leading winegrowers from 8 major appellation areas.
Today the Club has become a genuine economic force in the French wine industry
1 550 hectares of vines, 11 500 000 bottles, 375 employees and a turnover of 84 000 000 euros, with members belonging to the leading family producers from France’s chief appellation areas.
Vignobles & Signatures, sixteen winemakers’ families united by a common point
A wine history going back several generations, a tradition led by family business, an extra asset to the wine quality.
Vignobles & Signatures, it is the undeniable success of an association based on the solidarity between its vintners and the love of a job well done
An ethic naturally adopted by new generations, already integrated in some companies.
