GCF (Les Grands Chais de France) is launching the Family Helfrich Signature Range of top tier French domaines and châteaux selected for their wine making excellence and aimed at the premium on-trade. The new range features 22 award-winning properties from some of the best terroirs in each of France’s wine making regions. It will be unveiled at GCF’s first London tasting showcasing highlights from its entire portfolio. GCF Private Wine Days – the ultimate portfolio event which takes place on 4 and 5 October in the stunning rooftop venue at 10 York Road in Waterloo.
The exceptional properties in the new Signature range include; Châteaux Bastor Lamontagne in Sauternes, Châteaux de Fesles in the Anjou region of the Loire and Domaine du Joncas in Terrasses du Larzac. All the estates highlight the talent of their winemaking teams at each step of the winemaking process, as well as demonstrating organic or sustainable practices. They also reflect the passion and investment that GCF’s owners, the Helfrich family have poured into them since they began their journey of acquiring some of the best estates in the world back in 2003 with Domaine de la Baume. Today they own 75 properties around the world.
The Signature Range will be launched at the London edition of GCF’s Private Wine Days which is part of a global roll out of events. For the first time, GCF will be showing almost 300 wines chosen from across their vast portfolio to show the trade and press how much the company has grown and evolved in recent times.
GCF’s regional winemakers will be present on both days to shine a light on their respective regions of France. In addition to the Signature Range other highlights will include; new international award-winning properties in Chile, Spain, Germany and Hungary, Calvet, the the UK’s best-selling pan-appellation French brand, Crémant from every French producing region, a range of zero % wines and spirits including the UK’s no 1 alcohol-free sparkling wine brand, Nozeco, orange wines, and much, much more.
If you thought you knew GCF, think again, a lot has changed and it’s time to take a new look….
“We are so excited to bring our on-trade and independent’s portfolio to London to launch the Signature Range, and with the addition of the very best from our off-trade range as well for the first time,” says Chris Davies, sales director for GCF. “GCF has changed and grown so much both within France and internationally in the past few years and we wanted to showcase our new portfolio to the wine trade and press to let them take a new look at GCF and experience the changes for themselves.”
