These “coups de Coeur”, rewards which are neither a prize nor a contest, are given to encourage theatre companies coming from all horizons with a same goal – the quality of their shows.

Since then, she’s been watching carefully over the vine grapes of the different cooperative winegrowers, and gives counsels and advices as the upstream quality, security and environment responsible of Cecilia wine cellar. After her advanced vocational diploma in wine growing and oenology, she went to Dijon University (Master in sciences of the vine) before being accepted in the Agricultural Engineer School still in Dijon. After her graduation, she did much internship in Bordeaux, Burgundy and Loire Valley areas before her arrival in Sainte-Cécile-Les-Vignes. My job says Edwige is to sustain the work of Cecilia’s wine growers upstream, through parcel selections, to exploit at its best the potential of this beautiful soil. Edwige has started her tour in the vineyards with the winegrowers in that sense. “I’m also an intermediary for them and give all the information I can glean in the different organisms like the Chamber of Agriculture”. With always in mind that search of quality, which is a real added value for Cecilia-Chantecôtes.          Chantecôtes at PROWEIN TRADE FAIR in Düsseldorf      01-03-2009   Denis Guthmuller, the copresident of Cecilia-Chantecôtes, and André Gillot, the sales and marketing director, were present in Prowein Trade Fair in Düsseldorf, a trade fair for professionals.

In the capital of the Land of North Rhineland - Westphalia, located on the right bank of the Rhine, the two special correspondents of Cecilia- Chantecôtes also met there Dominique Soller, the sales and marketing director of Hunawihr, Alsace wine cellar with whom a partnership has been started. They were able to establish many contacts and had Chantecôtes wines tasting, to the pleasure of many visitors of this prestigious wine trade fair.          A partnership with Hunawihr Wine Cellar in Alsace region      01-02-2009   Winegrowers of Cecilia-Chantecôtes have decided to establish a special partnership with their Alsatian colleagues from Hunawihr wine cellar, in the High-Rhine region. Also that connection might seem surprising; it came from the common will of the directors of both cellars to offer to their clientele, a broader range of wines, with an opening on wines from other regions, than their own doesn’t produce. Hunawihr cellar, manufactures fine Alsatian wines, a group of 110 winegrowers who produce 2 millions of bottle per year; the wine cellar offers high quality white wines. Its director, Dominique Soller, met his counterpart in Cecilia during his visit, Alain Kaneko, and the marketing director, André Gillot. Without forgetting Daniel Beaumet, the owner of Chantecôtes cellar, the two copresidents, François Pouizin et Denis Guthmuller, this last one being part of this partnership with Alsace, being himself originally from this region. « It’s a very beautiful cellar » he declares, sharing the same philosophy than Cécilia-Chantecôtes: always searching for a higher quality level.          Chantecôtes’ wines are referenced in le Petit Futé guide      03-10-2008   The cocktail party organized by « Le Petit Futé » guide for the promotion of its 18th edition « Special Avignon », at the restaurant « La Mirande » in Avignon was bringing together the top of Avignon culinary art. André Gillot and Denis Guthmuller, respectively marketing director and co-president of Cécilia Chantecôtes, were present for that special event, for Chantecôtes’ wines are referenced in le Petit Futé guide « since almost the beginning for the wines are very appreciated and never disappointing, especially the “Cardinal” vintage said Liliane Counord, the publishing responsible of the guide. “ Our primarily objective is to reach the good restaurants of Avignon, without forgetting all the establishments from the North of Vaucluse were are different vintages are also much appreciated” declares André Gillot. One of the reasons we are regularly in Le Petit Futé guide. We are very pleased and thankful for that mark of confidence from the guide.          Gael, Fabien and Philippe, the dream team of Cecilia      08-08-2008   Gael, Fabien and Philippe, are the three pillars of Cecilia wine cellar. Along the year, they deal with any problem that comes their way, whether mechanic or electric, to make sure that the wines aging in tanks don’t suffer. They double their alertness during the harvest: the receiving dock gets inspected because it wasn’t used for a whole year, and everything must work perfectly on the D Day; the grapes reception throughout a whole month at a furious pace; cleaning of the facilities once the harvest ended. Hats off for all that great work!          Clos de la Vierge      07-07-2008   The winemakers of Chantecôtes just enhanced their range of a new wine: Clos de la Vierge, is now on sale at the cellar. On the label of the bottles, the representation of an enthroned Virgin in the garden of the property of Bernard Couston, a cooperative winegrower of Chantecôtes whom great-grandfather had acquired the stone statue long ago.
