This year, 15 exhibitors showcased their products from Loire Valley, Bourgogne, Rhône Valley, Provence, Languedoc, Cognac, and Bordeaux regions. The event offered 223 products for tasting—198 still wines and 20 spirits, rounded out by a variety of sparkling options. With both returning and first-time exhibitors present, it was a fresh take on familiarity.
One standout this year was the innovative alcohol-free wine from Domaine Daurion, also known as “Sam.” This family-owned estate, with roots dating back to 1709, is shining a light on Mediterranean organic wine production in the Languedoc region. Attendees also got an exclusive preview of their soon-to-be-released Cru Rouge Pézenas 2022 and their white, rosé, and red varieties available in “Wit Vin in Tube” concept, available in 10cl Tube glass sampling sizes.
While exploring classic wines, guests had the opportunity to indulge in samples of Cognac from three esteemed houses. From Cognac F. Voyer, a family estate situated between Grande Champagne and Fins Bois Crus, came offerings recognized for their excellence at international competitions.
Famille Cabanne, a brand with more than two centuries of history, showcased its expertise in premium spirits, producing Cognacs, rums, and whiskies. The legacy continued with products from The Maison Seguinot, whose vineyards in the Grande Champagne region have been producing eaux-de-vie since 1890.
