Some of our members have interesting backgrounds. For example, one of the cooperative’s former presidents was once a glass blower at the Cristallerie Royale de Champagne and one of our young members is also a Compagnon du Devoir and cooper. … They are always happy to share their knowledge and experience with the other members.
The main advantage of a cooperative is the pooling of production resources. Our 80 members have access to first-class, state-of-the art machinery which individually they would not be able to own. With a 14,500 hl capacity the cooperative can vinify significant volumes but it also has small tanks which enable the winegrowers to select the grapes from a specific parcels to make a special cuvée.
This is one of our strengths. We can handle high bulk volumes and also respect the excellence and identity of individual winegrowers. We are always there for our members and constantly strive to offer them solutions tailored to their requirements.
