Our family business is strategically located in the heart of the Champagne plains and vineyards.
Our location in the Rafidinfarmhouse provides us with the necessary space to develop our activities.
Collect
Since the 2006 harvest, we have been providing complete management of all by-products of the AOC Champagne.
Collect
- Transportation and logistical systems adapted to ensure optimal and qualitative removal of pomace (the solid remains of the grapes: skins, pulp, seeds, and stems) : articulated lorries, watertight container skips and platforms).
- Regular rounds of tankers for the effective collection of liquid by-products (solid parts called bourbes, lees, sediments, wine in excess of authorised yields)
- In-house management of the relevant paperworks to ensure compliance with the regulations related to the transportation and upcycling of wine by-products


Preserve
We develop products and processes that reveal the hidden properties of grapes and preserve their local ecosystems.
Preserve
- In-house just-in-time production onsite in Pocancy to ensure optimum quality of our transformed products.
- Optimisation of our industrial processes to reduce our carbon footprint.
- Engineering of sustainable locally produced and nutritionally rich composts which are fed back into the vineyards through short circuits.
Enhance
We upcycle 100% of the by-products locally and invest heavily in R&D to develop new plant extracts.
Enhance
- Development of industrial activities in France.
- Partnerships with industry leaders and research laboratories.
- Application of our know-how and manufacturing equipment to agricultural applications complementary to the grape industry
