Vignolis

What Vignolis does

Vignolis is a French agricultural cooperative (legally EURL VIGNOLIS, trading as Coopérative du Nyonsais) founded in 1923 and headquartered in Nyons, Drôme Provençale. The cooperative aggregates more than 1,100 member growers and processes grapes from 1,400 hectares of vines across Cru Vinsolbres, Côtes du Rhône Villages, and Côtes du Rhône appellations. Its core product portfolio centers on PDO/AOP-certified Nyons black olives and extra virgin olive oil, supplemented by Côtes du Rhône, Coteaux des Baronnies, organic, sparkling, and bag-in-box wines, olive oil-based cosmetics, regional delicatessen items (tapenade, terrines, jams, grape seed oil), and gift boxes.

The cooperative operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market through three owned physical retail locations (Nyons, Les Pilles, and Nyons Nature) and an e-commerce website (vignolis.fr) with a "Vignolis Drive" pickup service. Online ordering is currently restricted to France, with international orders processed manually by phone or email. Revenue is transactional unit pricing in euros with promotional bundles (3+1 and 5+1 deals) and free shipping above 30kg within France; SKU prices span roughly €9.45 (1L grape seed oil) to €147.30 (6x70cl olive oil bundle). Product mix is anchored on Nyons PDO olives and AOC wines but has been incrementally extended into organic (Ecocert FR BIO-01), cosmetics, and specialty macerations such as the 2020 Mâcérat Black Garlic.

The company holds registered trademarks (NyonsOlive, La Nyonsaise) and Ecocert organic certification on a subset of SKUs but discloses no revenue, no external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no digital/AI technology stack beyond a standard e-commerce storefront. Customer segmentation is horizontal: individual French food enthusiasts (primary) and local retail resellers (secondary), with no named enterprise logos or B2B anchor accounts. The only disclosed executive is Anne Laurent (Directeur de publication), and the broader management team is not detailed in available data.

Direct peers

• Château d'Estoublon: Provence estate producing both PDO olive oil and AOC rosé/wines from a single terroir, with on-site retail, tasting room, and DTC e-commerce. Closely comparable product mix and premium regional positioning to Vignolis.
• Domaine de la Lieutenante: Provençal olive oil estate in the Baux-de-Provence/Aix appellations producing PDO olive oil with DTC online sales. Comparable premium single-territory olive oil positioning to Vignolis.
• Les Vignerons de Tavel: Cooperative winery in Tavel (southern Rhône) specializing in rosé wines from grower-members. Comparable cooperative structure, Rhône terroir positioning, and DTC retail model.
• Moulin Saint-Michel (Moulin du Haut Jaron): Historic olive mill in the Nyons appellation producing PDO olive oil from local Tanche olives, with on-site retail and direct sales. Operates in the same terroir and product category as Vignolis' olive oil core.
• Cave des Vignerons de Cairanne: Cooperative winery in Cairanne (southern Rhône) producing Côtes du Rhône Villages wines from member growers. Shares the cooperative governance structure, Rhône appellation focus, and DTC/sales-cellar model that mirrors Vignolis.
• Cave de Tain (l'Hermitage): Wine cooperative in Tain-l'Hermitage in the northern Rhône Valley. Operates an analogous grower-member cooperative model producing Côtes du Rhône and Crozes-Hermitage wines, with DTC retail and brand-equity tied to appellation — directly comparable to Vignolis' wine cooperative business.

Broad incumbents

• Puget: Major French olive oil brand with broad retail presence and cross-category (oils, vinegars) portfolio. Larger and broader than Vignolis but overlapping in core olive oil competition.
• Lesieur: Leading French packaged olive oil brand owned by Avril Group with national grocery distribution. Competes with Vignolis in olive oil but as a broad CPG incumbent rather than a regional cooperative specialist.
• Castel Group: One of France's largest wine producers and distributors, with broad Rhône Valley holdings. Operates in the same wine category as Vignolis but at a much larger scale and with a multi-appellation portfolio.

Others

• La Vie Claire: French organic and natural-products retail chain. Comparable customer base for Vignolis' Ecocert-certified organic line, and a potential distribution channel rather than a direct competitor.
