THE COMPANY OF "VIGNOLANTS DU VIGNOBLE NEUCHATELOIS" CV2N (40th ANNIVERSARY) | Vignol Company

The land of Neuchâtel. A welcoming land, a land of openness and exchanges, a land rich in its history and its inhabitants, a land of vines, a land of Vignolants. The fortieth anniversary of the Vignolants Company of the Neuchâtel Vineyard (CV2N) is an opportunity to take stock. May the organized festivities also be a celebration for everyone! For our esteemed guests, for our high authorities, for our brotherhoods as well, for our wine-growing municipalities, for our companions who have pledged to do everything possible to work for the good of our vineyard and its products. May everyone find their friends and acquaintances there and forget their daily concerns, if only for a day or two. At a time when history is accelerating, at a time when fiction becomes reality, it is necessary to take a moment to stop and look behind and beside us. Behind us, a nearly two-thousand-year-old tradition of vine cultivation in the land of Neuchâtel and the production of the lovely Neuchâtel wine is the essential reason for the existence of CV2N. Beside us, what a joy to find the 450 members of our Brotherhood and to know that they are perpetuating a tradition that has already lasted four decades. With a heartfelt thought to those who have built CV2N and who have left us. May the celebration be beautiful. May homage be paid to Neuchâtel wine and its defenders. With, as a result, the development of new personal relationships and the broadening of our horizons. For, as Paul Claudel said, "wine is a teacher of taste, and, by training us in the practice of inner attention, it is the liberator of the spirit and the illumination of the intellect."
