ADVERTORIAL

Never before have Nouvelle-Aquitaine companies been so mobilised for the trade show.

Exhibitors from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region will be spread over 1,200 m², in Hall 6 for wine and in Hall 2.2 for spirits. This year’s delegation, the largest to attend Wine Paris & Vinexpo Paris, will present some of the region’s finest wines and spirits over the three days. Their presence is being supported by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region, as part of its plans to revamp the wine industry.

For the first time, all of the exhibitors can be found through an interactive terminal which will be available at the booth of ​​AANA (Agence de l’Alimentation Nouvelle-Aquitaine) in Hall 6, G129. The terminal helps visitors and professional buyers by making it possible to navigate a map of the region. It also helps identify what wine and spirits companies are present at the show, broken down by AOC or production region. Visitors can then make their way to the stand or take down the companies contact details.

This way buyers from European countries and further afield can meet wine and spirits makers from Nouvelle-Aquitaine and explore new business opportunities. The Nouvelle-Aquitaine rich and diverse agricultural heritage has made it one of France’s leading regions for quality wine and spirits. AANA works to promote the work and commitment of Nouvelle-Aquitaine producers by supporting their commitment to environmental protection, know how and origin.

Part of what makes the Nouvelle Aquitaine one of the most important wine producing regions in the world is the age and quality of its vineyards, which produce some of the most renowned wine and spirits, including Cognac, Armagnac, Pauillac, Pomerol, Saint-Emilion and Margaux to name but a few.

To preserve its terroir and natural resources, the region has made a strong commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly wine making over the past 20 years. In 2021, 75% of the wine region was certified for its eco-friendly approaches and the number continues to rise. Certified areas and those under conversion to organic farming also increased by 43%. This proactive eco-friendly stance has been mirrored by the Cognac appellation, which is aiming for 100% of the wine region’s surface area to be Cognac & HVE Environmentally certified by 2030 at the latest.

The AANA which represents is introducing estates, houses, winegrowers and artisans from Bordeaux wines, South-Western wines, Cognac, Armagnac and many others… Visitors are invited to explore the Nouvelle Aquitaine’s diverse terroir and taste some of its finest grapes at their stands.
