The LANSON-BCC Group would like to highlight that the fourth quarter usually accounts for around 45% of Champagne wine shipments, which means that levels of consumption at the end of the year will be decisive.

In a still highly competitive market environment, the LANSON-BCC Group is focused on maintaining the price positioning adopted by its Houses, even if this means not catching up all the volumes lost from the first half of 2015 at the end of this year.

2015 full-year revenues will be released on Thursday February 4th, 2016 (after close of trading).
