Created in 1999, in Carcassonne, South of France, LGI WINES was Alain Grignon’s vision of the international export markets in relation to the Languedoc wine region. He wanted to provide added value to the most flexible wines from France, offering an excellent quality/price ratio, whether tailor-made or concept brands.
In 2013, when Alain Grignon retired, Xavier Roger and Cédric Duquenoy took over the helm, Xavier becoming Managing Director and Cédric Sales Director. They both joined LGI Wines at the very beginning of it’s adventure, their knowledge of the customers and wine partners have led them to take over from Alain and to keep crafting unique French wines with the LGI Wines team.
Almost 20 years later, we have explored the whole science of tailoring wines and crafting concepts. Our great flexibility and agility have made us the leading French tailor-made wine creator, delivering great wines throughout the world.
An extraordinary terroir
Blessed by our location, in the heart of the Languedoc, we work in one of the world’s largest wine producing regions. It’s a fabulous wine lab because of its amazing diversity of climates, terroirs and wine partners offering a whole range of local to international grape varieties, from traditional to modern winemaking techniques. Over the years, our team has created a strong partnership with many local partners from Gascony through to the Languedoc region.
The broad array of local and international grape varieties, climates and terroirs allows us to craft almost any style of wine; from fresh, crisp, spicy, full-bodied, oaky, to elegant and mineral wines, while always seeking wine quality and taste consistency, ensuring that the final products are perfectly suited to our customers’ tastes. The core values in such partnerships are about understanding and sharing each others’ concerns, whether it is about climate change, winemaking experience or everyday advice. Being close to our producers has been the key to securing wine volume, quality consistency and reaching international quality standards such as IFS and BRC.
