Whether we are in Bordeaux, Dijon and Reims, the rumor is echoed and reinforced: it is in Cte d’Or that the future headquarters of the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV) would be established. Due to be formalized on July 12, during the nineteenth general assembly of the OIV, this announcement has already been greeted with rapture in the Burgundy vineyards. “We are the French cradle of wine culture, with a very particular notion of terroir »Indicates a person close to this candidacy, noting that the Dijon file rests on a fine horsehair: the Bouchu hotel known as d’Esterno (1, rue Monge).
If they remain good players, Dijon mustard logically rises to the nose of the carriers of recal projects. In particular, there is the stronger political weight of Dijon’s candidacy, relying on its mayor, former minister Franois Rebsamen. “We do not control friendships in the corridors of power one year after the presidential election” squeaks a source from the Gironde, which emphasizes that the Bordeaux vineyards will recover from this choice (while hoping for a coup de la theater by July 12).
Contacts, the various project leaders refuse to comment on the file before the announcement of the choice of the host city by the French government.
Bringing together 48 member states in the global vineyard, the OIV summoned the French state to quickly find a new building for it to put an end to the current situation, which it considers unsatisfactory. Welcoming the headquarters of the OIV by international agreement, France provides the rent for the OIV and has moved at the end of 2019, still in the eighth arrondissement of Paris (from 18, rue d’Aguesseau to 35, rue de Heap). A covid pandemic and helping global confinements, videoconferences have made it possible to reduce the impact of the lack of space in the new premises on the activity of the OIV, hence the demand for better premises for the future.
