Les Vignerons de Saint-Dézéry

What Les Vignerons de Saint-Dézéry does

Les Vignerons de Saint-Dézéry is a private wine cooperative (Cave Coopérative de Saint-Dézéry) founded in 1928 in the village of Saint-Dézéry, in the Gard department of the Occitanie region, at the foot of the Cévennes mountains. The cooperative is owned by 37 winegrower-member families who collectively cultivate approximately 350 hectares of vines and produces wines under the IGP Pays d'Oc appellation. Production assets include a stainless steel vat room constructed in 2001, concrete vats for aging, barrique (oak barrel) vinification for premium cuvées, and state-of-the-art equipment added in 2020. The portfolio spans six lines: Cuvées Prémium (L'Héritage red blend and Désirée white blend), Cuvées BIO (Agate Bio, Ambre Bio, Jade Bio — certified organic since the 2022 vintage), Cuvées Saint-D (single-grape varietals including Merlot, Marselan, Viognier, Chardonnay, Cinsault), Cuvées Cantarel (Mediterranean-style rouge, blanc, and rosé), Petit Degré (low-alcohol X°), and Cuvée Signature (limited editions such as L'Inattendu, 1,000 bottles, no sulfites). Bag-in-Box wines are also offered in 3L, 5L, and 10L formats, including an organic red BIB.

The cooperative is HVE 3 (High Environmental Value Level 3) certified since 2021 and won a national Concours Général Agricole de Paris gold medal in 2020 for both a Marselan 2019 and a BIB rosé, with additional regional golds and silvers at Concours de la Coopération, Vinalies, Terre de Vins, Feminalise, and Coup de Cœur de Femmes. Revenue derives from a direct-to-consumer model only: walk-in sales at the on-site caveau open Monday–Saturday, direct shipping to customers across mainland France ordered by email or telephone, and on-site tasting/tour experiences for individuals and private groups. No third-party retail, distributor, or export channels are disclosed. Oenologist Nuria Morales leads winemaking, and a team of six employees supports the 37 member-growers across the production and sales operation.
