On 11-13 Feb 2019, Paris became the global epicentre of the wine world by hosting WINE PARIS for the first time ever. WINE PARIS became the meeting point for wine professionals in the French capital, and our team from Domaine Des Jeanne (Alex, the vigneron; Veronique; Petitie Jeane; Denise and Karine) were proud to present our collection of wine in a special space for newcomers in the wine industry called La Nouvelle Vague in Hall 7.1.

Nearby, in Les Dégustations by Vinisud, we also showcased our JJ Bulle Rosé and JJ Esprit Rosé.

Bringing together 25,000 professional visitors, 2,000 wine growers and producers of all sizes, WINE PARIS showcased a variety of wine producing regions through their different ‘climats’ and terroirs. chiffres cles ENG Wine Paris - Wine ParisIt was the first time that Vinovision (wines from Northern France), Vinisud (wines from Southern France and Mediterranean countries) and wines from the New World were combined into a single trade fair and it attracted French buyers, agents, importers, journalists, advisers and much more.

It was a great opportunity to network and we made some good contacts from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Southern England, especially on the last day as we were situated opposite the main entrance.

All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed WINE PARIS and look forward to exhibiting there again next year in the same place: 10-12 Feb 2020.
