Harvesting innovation

Cave Saint-Verny, a good vintage
A new boutique to develop sales
The boutique plays an essential role for the Cave Saint-Verny in the distribution of its products, since a significant share of the company's sales is made here. So everyone was impatient for the opening of the new boutique. This store, dedicated to wine-growing and gastronomy in Auvergne, was inaugurated at the beginning of 2009. Now located opposite the grape delivery “conquets”¹, the boutique has a warmer, more modern and welcoming atmosphere, as all the guests at this event noted. And just to show what a difference this improvement in quality makes, sales took off really well for the last quarter of the fiscal year 2008/2009.
