Sell Your Wine Estate in Champagne or Burgundy
Confidential guidance from valuation to closing, by an independent firm specialised in premium wine estate transactions.
VITACEAE is an independent French advisory firm that handles the off-market sale of wine estates, Champagne houses and vineyard plots in Champagne and Burgundy, under exclusive mandate, without any publication, with fees due only on success.
Three benchmarks to position your estate. In Champagne, the prevailing market value of one hectare of vines ranges from €947,000 in the Aube to €1,689,000 in the Côte des Blancs (2025 official price schedule, Journal officiel of 19 August 2026 — VITACEAE Market Data). In Burgundy, a Côte-d'Or premier cru white plot is valued at €2,700,000/ha and a premier cru red at €1,150,000/ha under the same schedule (Burgundy vineyard prices). A complete sale takes six to eighteen months from mandate to deed, including SAFER notification and, for a share deal, the Sempastous declaration.
VITACEAE provides no legal, tax or wealth-planning advice: the firm coordinates the transaction with your notary, lawyer and accountant, whose analyses remain decisive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a wine estate transaction take?
A complete wine estate transaction typically takes between 6 and 18 months, from the signing of the mandate to the final deed. The timeline depends on the complexity of the estate (legal structure, existing farm leases, SAFER pre-emption, Sempastous declaration for share deals) and on the availability of qualified buyers. Our targeted off-market approach often shortens these timelines.What are your fees?
Our fees are success-based only: 6% excl. VAT (7.2% incl. VAT) of the effective sale price, borne by the buyer unless otherwise agreed, and due solely upon completion of the transaction. No upfront fees, no study costs, no prior financial commitment. This is how we guarantee full alignment of our interests with yours.Will my estate be published online?
No, never. VITACEAE operates strictly off-market. No listing, no publication, no online profile. Your estate is presented only to pre-selected buyers who sign a confidentiality agreement before receiving any information.Do you operate in every wine region?
Champagne and Burgundy are the core of our practice, where our knowledge of terroirs, players and market dynamics is deepest. We also take on selected premium mandates in other French and European wine regions — estates, houses and vineyard land — on a case-by-case basis.What is an exclusive mandate and why do you require it?
An exclusive mandate entrusts us with the sole search for buyers for your estate during a defined period. It is the condition for in-depth work: building the data room, drafting the information memorandum, targeted approach of qualified buyers. Without exclusivity, it is impossible to guarantee the confidentiality and quality of the process.How to cite this page
