THE BACKING OF AN INTERNATIONAL
FAMILY-OWNED GROUP

Since 1998, Sovex GrandsChâteaux has been part of the Ballande Wines,
providing us with international support and expertise.

Ballande was founded in the 19th century by a family of Bordeaux shipowners and has exploring in its blood.
Operating in France and in the Pacific, it is today a successful player in such industries as mining, farming and logistics.

With its network of wine shops, three wine houses and three Chateaux, including a Grand Cru Classé in Margaux,
wine remains central to its business in mainland France.
