The Groupement Foncier Viticole (Land Wine Group)

The GFV is a long-term investment diversification which combines pleasure with tax benefits and stability. GFV is an association which centres on the agricultural development of land and properties and whose goal is to promote the communal ownership of wine estates.

One simple function
A limited number of individuals join together to purchase a wine estate. The running of the estate, acquired under a long-term lease, is entrusted to a farmer/grower chosen for their expertise in both technical and commercial matters.
 

A effective tool for the protection and transfer of assets
Specific tax benefits in donation tax and estate tax.
Significant capital protection in the long-term 
Unrestricted access to the estate
 

Numerous advantages
Every year, partners receive a share of the revenue from the tenant, in proportion to the number of shares held. This revenue is based on the change in value of the wine produced by the particular ‘Appellation d’Origine Controlée’. This value is adjusted annually and ratified by prefectural order. Each partner has the opportunity to acquire, except in exceptional circumstances, bottles from the estate under special "owner" conditions.
