Profile

2010/11 was marked by a return to growth. All regions worldwide contributed to this trend, particularly Asia and Travel Retail where demand remained strong. This performance reflects the strength of the Group’s premium and international brands and the expertise of its commercial network.

In November 2010, the Group announced that it intended to dispose of its Champagne division. On 31 May 2011, Rémy Cointreau and EPI signed an agreement for the sale of this division. Rémy Cointreau will continue as sole distributor of the Piper-Heidsieck and Charles Heidsieck brands as well as Piper Sonoma (the US sparkling wine brand).

A strategy focusing on high value-added products, sustained by a policy of strong product innovation and supported by a high performance network will provide the Group with the necessary resources to ensure steady, profitable growth.
