The Association “Femmes de Vin” at Vinexpo

For the second year the “Femmes de Vin” Association were present at Vinexpo, Palace of Congress in Bordeaux-Lac on Monday 20^th June 2011 showcasing their wines.

The Circle of “Femmes de Vin” was created in 2009 by two passionate wine producers; Chantal Pégaz from Beaujolais and Marie-Laurence Saladin from Côtes du Rhône. The Circle of “Femmes de Vin” brings together regional associations of female wine producers, who have common passions for defending, on a daily basis, the land, the countryside, the environment; wine production and the flavours of the French appellations.

The regional associations consist of:

•  LesAliénor du Vin de Bordeaux www.bordeaux-lesalienor.fr

•  Les Eléonores de Provence,www.leseleonoresdeprovence.blog4ever.com

“Divided, but not against”, the men…fathers, brothers, husbands, friends… they won’t be far away! Each of these women, who are content and blossoming in their work, has a story and a clear career path. “Girls of”, “women of” or “business women from elsewhere” are all “creators of wine” fulfilling their dreams!
