Invest in a Vineyard in Champagne or Burgundy

A tangible, heritage and scarce asset. Access exceptional vineyard opportunities through an independent, specialised firm.

The vineyards of Champagne and Burgundy represent one of the most resilient and sought-after land investments in the world. VITACEAE guides HNWI, family offices and institutional investors through the entire acquisition process — from opportunity identification to closing.

Why Invest in Vineyards

Tangible and Scarce Asset

AOC vineyard land is a finite, non-reproducible asset. Champagne and Burgundy appellation areas are strictly delimited and cannot be extended. Scarcity drives long-term value appreciation.

Wealth Resilience

Decorrelation from financial markets. Long-term appreciation of vineyard land over the past 30 years. Facilitated intergenerational transfer under favourable tax regimes.

Tax Advantages

Vineyard land benefits from specific tax provisions: partial IFI (wealth tax) exemption, Dutreil regime eligibility, DMTG (inheritance tax) relief on GFA/GFV structures, and more. VITACEAE identifies tax impacts — all structuring is handled by your own advisors.

Investment Structures

Direct Acquisition
Purchase of the land and/or operating entity in personal name or via a dedicated structure (SCI, SCEV). Full control over the asset and its management.

Indirect Investment
Investment through GFA (Groupement Foncier Agricole), GFV (Groupement Foncier Viticole) or co-investment structures. Access to premium appellations with lower ticket sizes.

Operating Takeover
Acquisition of a going concern: vineyard, winery, brand, distribution. For experienced operators or investors with a management partner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct yield (farming lease income) typically ranges between 1.5% and 3% of the acquisition price. Land appreciation, which constitutes the main component of total return, depends on the region, appellation and market dynamics. Over the past 20 years, land in Champagne and Burgundy appellations has seen significant appreciation.
No. Many investors are non-operators. Several structures allow you to hold vineyard land without farming it directly: GFA/GFV with a rural lease to an operator, SCI owning the land, or acquisition with management delegated to a third party (such as VITACEAE in Champagne).
SAFER holds a pre-emption right over agricultural land transactions. It can substitute itself for the buyer at the agreed price. Clearing the pre-emption right is a systematic and mandatory step. VITACEAE incorporates this constraint into the timeline and structuring of every transaction.
Yes, subject to conditions. The Dutreil regime (articles 787 B and 787 C of the French Tax Code) may apply to the transfer of shares in wine-growing entities (GFA, SCEV, SCI), provided that holding and operating commitments are met. The tax impact can be substantial (75% exemption on transferred value). We identify the issues — structuring is handled by your tax advisors.
