Boldness in advertising

Vignobles & Compagnie reveals a new advertising campaign and it is showing the Pont du Gard Bridge lit up. Why choosing this peace of art as a brand symbol ? Because the Winery has been established at the heart of the Côtes du Rhône growing area in the Gard since half of a century. And, of course, just near this famous bridge, the world’s best-preserved examples of Roman ingenuity

Indeed, this image is not only highlighting the geographic origins of the winery but also half a century of work of its enterprising teams. Teams who have always dared to innovate to bring out the best of the Rhone Valley’s great terroirs.

Our partner wine growers agreed to take part in a relaxed photo shoot. For all those who work all year round in their vineyard, taking care of it, preserving it, and helping it to grow and blossom… For all those who help us, vintage after vintage, after year to create indulgent, fresh and elegant wines.

We decided to pay tribute to them during an informal gathering, on their estate, in their home, with the tools of their craft. They were invited to bring along their favourite object to give us an insight into the life of a winegrower… Thank you all!

Our partner winegrowers agreed to take part in a relaxed photo shoot to allow us to get to know them better. The first portrait of our sequence “Partner Winegrowers” is that of a lady, FRANÇOISE REY.
Today this energetic lady has imprinted her style at the Domaine Rey estate. She puts the well-being of her teams first because, for her it is more than just a winemaking adventure, it is above all a human adventure. She likes to capture her land, her region, and her vineyard on film to write her own new chapter of this great family saga that has already lasted 3 generations…

After a colder winter than in recent years (but more normal for the season), spring was hot but rainy with occasional cold spells. This recharged the soil’s water reserves which was good for vine growth. We are almost 10 days ahead compared to an average year.
The flowering is underway and we are expecting it to be a good year but we need to keep a close eye on the maturity in August before being able to talk about the quality of the vintage. Patience is a virtue…

The 1990s marked the beginning of our relationship of trust with Jean-François Fayel, winegrower at Le Château des Sources and owner of the Domaine des Cantarelles in the village of Bellegarde in the AOC Costières de Nîmes growing area.

Therefore it was a natural choice for the Espinas family, owners of Le Château des Sources since the late 19th century, to hand over the reins to Thomas Giubbi, Managing Director of the Compagnie Rhodanienne, to continue the work of Jean-François Fayel when he retired recently.

An winemaker has been assigned to supervise the 26 hectares of existing vines at Le Château des Sources and the 23 hectares at the Domaine des Cantarelles. He will also oversee the planting of a further 20 hectares of new vines. Last but not least, renovation work is planned for the Château, including a new ageing cellar, to give the estate a new lease of life.

Vignobles & Compagnie has brought out a new ornamented bottle which will be the signature of all its wines (except those already bottled in union organization bottles). As well as the objective of heightened visibility and attractiveness in the sales outlets, the Winery also wants to highlight its commitment to preserving the environment. This bottle was designed in France at the Labégude glassworks which uses 80% recycled glass, 1/3 of which is collected in the basin of the Côtes du Rhône appellation. It weighs 480g and is currently the lightest ornamented bottle on the market. An eco-responsible bottle for wines that respect the environment…
