The Centre Vinicole - Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte (CV-CNF) and the Coopérative Régionale des Vins de Champagne - Champagne Castelnau (C.R.V.C.) have jointly decided to shift their merger plan to the end of December 2021.
The execution date was originally scheduled to take place on June 24th, 2021 after the voting rights of members at the Extraordinary General Meeting of each structure.
The tight timeframe previously laid out has made it impossible to complete the Merger Treaty and accompanying technical annexes, due to be approved by respective Boards of Directors on April 22nd and 23rd.. Financial, legal and social audits have not yet been completed, particularly due to delays in integrating 2020 consolidated accounts.

Two of Champagne’s leading co-operatives, Nicolas Feuillatte and Castelnau, have announced that they are to merge in what was described as, ”a committed and voluntary partnership optimising the expertise and standing that both entities have acquired over the years”.
The boards of directors of both the Centre Vinicole – Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte (CV-CNF) and the Coopérative Régionale des Vins de Champagne Castelnau (C.R.V.C) agreed on the action in order to “strengthen the cooperative movement in the Champagne region”.
The move is still subject to a vote at the annual general meeting of both businesses in June next year.
