BVC (Benoit & Valérie Calvet) join
AdVini to accelerate the international development of the business
and its brands.
Benoit and Valérie Calvet, the founders of BVC,
a Bordeaux-based company creating brands sourced from major
European wine regions, are willing to accelerate the company's
international development by joining AdVini.
"AdVini benefits from extensive connections
across the wine world, both in France and South Africa, an
international distribution network and industrial resources that
will help us boost our sourcing and develop our global brands,
whilst handling customer requests more effectively," explain
Valérie and Benoit Calvet, founders of BVC.
"Our retail customers are looking for high
impact brands that offer the consumer excellent value for money.
Benoit and Valérie have successfully created market leaders that
will strengthen our European offer. I’m thinking in particular of
the fantastic work they have done for organic wines from the
Utiel-Requena Designation of Origin with the Toro Loco brand. We
are well placed to accelerate and globalise its growth," explains
Antoine Leccia, Chairman of the Board at AdVini.
Benoit and Valérie Calvet will remain in
position as directors of BVC and will continue to oversee the
operational management of the company, with the support of their
existing employees. BVC will remain completely independent in terms
of sourcing and marketing its wines.
Benoit and Valérie Calvet have also acquired a
stake in AdVini alongside the family shareholders, notably the
Jeanjean family.
