PARIS, May 20, 2019 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Cotes-de-Provence

Moet Hennessy has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Chateau du

Galoupet, Cru Classe in the Cotes-de-Provence. The transaction is expected to

be completed in the second half of 2019.

Located along the coast in La Londe-les-Maures, Chateau du Galoupet enjoys an

exceptional setting against the Salins islands of Porquerolles, Port Cros and

Le Levant.

The estate, already recognized and referenced at the end of the 17th century,

benefits from a micro-climate which refreshes the vines with temperate and

salty winds and is conducive to elegant wines and consistent yields. Cru classe

since 1955, the vineyard spans exceptional land with diverse soils. The 68

hectares of vines are located within a single block and produce three

categories of wines: rose (90%), red (5%), white (5%). The vines have an

average age of 25 years, assuring wines of character and structure.

In response to growing demand in France and around the world, Chateau du

Galoupet offers a renowned rose wine, combining ancestral methods and technical

precision, adhering to the strict requirements of the fine wines of Provence.

All the Chateau's wines have won awards from guidebooks or international

competitions. Moet Hennessy will share its expertise in winemaking to further

the commitment to quality and international exposure.

Finally, Moet Hennessy aims to enhance the 89 unplanted hectares, respecting

the extraordinary preserved environment and offering a natural foreground.

Moet Hennessy, leader of luxury wines and spirits, is proud to share its

expertise in the development of the domaine and to add a Cru Classe de Provence

to its portfolio, its first rosé wine.
