The name Compagnie Médocaine des Grands Cru refers to the merchant companies of an era when people set out to conquer new territories to sell and promote fine wines around the world. While world trade has accelerated, we are proud to express our origins anchored in the past but resolutely facing towards the future. Compagnie Médocaine des Grands Crus: a “retro” name but a young, modern team, a refreshed and elegant communication.
Founded in 1975 by Jean Michel Cazes, owner of Châteaux Lynch-Bages and Omes de Pez, Compagnie Médocaine des Grands Cru is one of Bordeaux’s leading wine merchants, and has been an integral part of AXA Millésimes since 2001. Founded in the 1980 as a subsidiary of AXA, a major French insurance group, AXA Millésimes’ mission, in the words of its president Christian Seely, is “to invest in wine estates whose terroir potential is not fully realized by providing them with the material, human and financial resources needed to produce outstanding wines”. In less than 50 years, Compagnie Médocaine des Grands Crus has established itself as a key influence in Bordeaux Grands Crus trade, while consolidating its position in the distribution of French and international wines. With a particular emphasis on traditional distribution channels such as restaurants, hotels and wine shops, as well as quality wholesalers.
