Leading Rhône Valley wine producer Cellier des Dauphins has appointed Kingsland Drinks to support its off-trade distribution.
Cellier des Dauphins, France's top AOC wine brand, covers appellations including Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Rhônes Villages and Crus such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Cairanne.
As part of the new partnership, Kingsland Drinks will be responsible for Cellier des Dauphin's distribution in nominated off-trade customers globally, representing its wine ranges, and supplying a selection of retailer own-label Rhône wines. The producer also hopes to increase its presence in the UK off-trade and build on existing listings with the likes of Tesco and Majestic.
Adam Marshall, buying controller at Kingsland Drinks, said: "We are delighted to add Cellier des Dauphins to our portfolio of high-quality producers. It is steeped in history, and at the same time open to innovation and exciting product and brand development, which makes it a perfect fit for Kingsland Drinks."
Marin Bourayne, export director for Cellier des Dauphins, said: "The team at Kingsland Drinks has a significant presence in the UK with long-standing customer relationships and the company's family values mirror our own, so the partnership is a natural fit."
