What LVVD does
LVVD (Loire Vini Viti Distribution), founded in 2006 and headquartered in Mozé-sur-Louet, France, is a specialized viti-vinicultural distributor and service provider serving winegrowers across the western Val de Loire. The company operates as a subsidiary of the Terrena agricultural cooperative group. Its product portfolio spans vine protection (adjuvants, anti-mildew, anti-Botrytis, herbicides), soil fertilization (including its proprietary LB Fertivie custom on-site blending service), foliar nutrition, trellising, frost protection, and grower PPE, alongside a complete oenological range featuring its Line Biotech® proprietary brand launched in 2007 and distributed products from IOC, Fermentis, Erbslōh, Oenovia, and MVO.
Beyond product distribution, LVVD runs an integrated services platform: seven physical retail spaces across departments 44, 49, and 37; 30 field technicians providing on-site agronomic consultation; a SAV workshop stocking 800+ references; three mobile bottling lines for still wines (1,500–3,800 bph capacity); sparkling wine production (Charmat, Traditional, and Ancestral methods) at its Chacé cave; equipment rental; custom packaging via in-house workshops; and the LB ROBOTIC program commercializing the Pellenc RX-20 autonomous robot. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales, professional service fees, usage-based equipment rentals, and multi-year leasing contracts introduced since 2019. Digital tooling remains nascent, with LB Vinélio parcel-management software launching to comply with 2026 Grenelle II traceability requirements.

LVVD competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Pellenc: French manufacturer of vineyard tools, battery-powered equipment, and the RX-20 autonomous robot. Both a partner (LVVD distributes and services Pellenc robotics) and competitor in vineyard equipment supply.
- Euralis: Southwest France agricultural cooperative with a viticulture division (Euralis Vigne) that distributes supplies and equipment to winegrowers. Comparable business model combining cooperative backing with regional winegrower service focus.
- Grégoire Group: French vineyard equipment manufacturer (sprayers, harvesters) and supplier. Comparable as part of the vineyard equipment ecosystem serving LVVD's customer base, though operating more upstream as a manufacturer.
- Perret SA: Specialist French distributor of viti-vinicultural equipment and oenological products. Closely comparable to LVVD in product mix and customer base (winegrowers, wineries) but with a different geographic footprint.
- Soufflet Vigne (InVivo): National viti-vinicultural distributor owned by InVivo, the largest French agricultural cooperative group. Directly competes with LVVD across vine protection, oenological products, and equipment distribution to French winegrowers.
Others
- Verallia: European glass packaging leader whose bottles (including ECOVA lighter-weight range) are distributed by LVVD. Not a competitor but a key upstream supplier within LVVD's packaging category.
Broad incumbents
- De Sangosse: Major French crop protection and plant nutrition supplier with a viticulture portfolio. Comparable as a broad supplier of vine protection products but distributed through multiple channels rather than direct retail.
- Bayer Crop Science: Global crop protection and seeds major with a significant viticulture portfolio. Competes indirectly with LVVD's vine protection range through direct manufacturer sales and alternative distribution channels.
- Phyteurop: Established French manufacturer and supplier of vine protection and crop products. Overlaps with LVVD's vine protection category but operates as a manufacturer serving multiple distributors rather than as a direct retailer to winegrowers.
- Action Pin: French specialist in pine-resin-based crop protection and viticulture biosolutions. Comparable as a vine protection product supplier serving LVVD's winegrower customers through alternative distribution.
