Agence des Grands Crus

What Agence des Grands Crus does

Agence des Grands Crus is a small, family-owned real estate agency operating in the Beaujolais and Sud Mâconnais wine region of France. Founded in September 2004 by Corinne MICHEL, it is the commercial trade name of Société COMIGEST (SIRET 47829584300047) and maintains three physical offices in Fleurie (headquarters), Juliénas (opened 2005), and La Chapelle de Guinchay (opened 2012). With approximately six employees, the firm serves individual buyers (Acquéreurs) and sellers (Propriétaires) of residential properties, estates, building land, and rural vineyard holdings — including AOP crus such as Fleurie, Morgon, Juliénas, Moulin à Vent, and Chénas.

The core offering is real estate transaction intermediation complemented by property valuation, an ICS-hosted client extranet for post-sale document access, and an email-alert system that notifies buyers of new matching listings. The technology stack is intentionally minimal: a bilingual (French/English) listings website, the ICS extranet infrastructure, and Google Analytics for basic traffic measurement. No proprietary platforms, APIs, or AI capabilities are disclosed. Distribution relies on direct in-person interactions at the three offices, the listings website, and a network of local professional partners (mortgage brokers, notaries, surveyors, masons, carpenters, plumbers, architects, HVAC providers) who refer leads and service transactions.

Revenue is generated purely through transaction-based commissions, with no publicly disclosed fee schedule. The agency holds the required French professional regulatory credentials (Cartes Professionnelles CCI du Beaujolais CPI 6902 2018 000 025 423, SO.CA.F guarantee, SAA professional liability insurance) and maintains GDPR-compliant handling of personal data collected through web forms. The customer base consists entirely of individual buyers and sellers; there are no named enterprise logos, no repeat B2B accounts, and no disclosed revenue figures.
