He succeeds Pablo Álvarez (Tempos Vega Sicilia) at the top of the association, which unites the 12 most important wine families in the world

The value of the family that is reflected and transmitted in that of the history of the great wineries. This is the philosophy that binds the 12 most important wine families in the world, names such as Marchesi Antinori (Tuscany), Baron Philippe de Rothschild (Bordeaux), Joseph Drouhin (Burgundy), Domaine Clarence Dillon (Bordeaux), Egon Müller Scharzhof (Moselle), Famille Hugel (Alsace), Pol Roger (Champagne), Famille Perrin (Rhone Valley), Symington Family Estates (Portugal), Tenuta San Guido (Tuscany), Familia Torres (Spain) and Vega Sicilia (Ribera del Duero), in the association Primum Familiae Vini. Of which now, Véronique Drouhin, of the Maison Joseph Drouhin, becomes president for next year, succeeding Pablo Álvarez (Tempos Vega Sicilia).

"I am extremely honored to be president of Premium Familiae Vini for next year. This association, originally created 30 years ago by my father Robert Drouhin and Miguel Torres - underlines Véronique Drouhin - brings together 12 families from the world of wine who share the same values: the culture of excellence, love and respect for the land and the terroir, and the strong desire to remain independent family-run companies and to pass on the legacy of our ancestors to the next generation. Not out of pride, but because we are convinced that it is a sustainable, agile, creative, innovative and effective business model. This family structure, which distinguishes us in the world of wine, is the reason why we created Primum Familiae Vini. It is also what led us, three years ago, to create the "PFV Award", awarded to the best family business in the world, in any sector, to encourage and reward this type of structure. It has brought us into contact with extraordinary companies that strengthen our faith in our values and our vision of the world: building the future while preserving the environment and constantly innovating by perpetuating traditional skills. A magnificent year ahead, which will see us address important issues such as how our properties can adapt to climate change, one of the most important challenges for years to come."
