Founded in 2005 in the Burgundy region in Nuits-Saint Georges, DOMAINES & VILLAGES specialises in the "grouping" sale of wines to private individuals through works councils. The company's catalogue offers an extended range of more than 200 references of wines known as AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée) and IGP (Indication d'Origine Protégée), as well as French wines under its own brand.
Domaines & Villages, historically based in Burgundy, has become a nationwide distribution platform with more than 8,000 "customer groups" throughout France. In 2016, the company generated revenue of €17.5 million, up 47% on the previous year.
The shareholders of DOMAINES & VILLAGES have decided to strengthen the company's development by raising €6 million, to finance strategic investments. The deal was structured by ADVISO PARTNERS.
"... DOMAINES & VILLAGES were keen to draw on the expertise of ADVISO PARTNERS to raise the financial resources needed to support its accelerated growth. This transaction will enable us to invest in the deployment of logistics infrastructure, the development of a digital control platform and the creation of a wine-growing division..." explains Pierre COLIN, chairman and founder of the company.
After posting average annual growth of nearly 30% over the last five years, the managers of DOMAINES & VILLAGE aim to reach €40 million in revenue by 2020.
