The new GM will contiinue on that success but also bring about a strategic shift for the parent company in France by focussing intently on their own products and grow sales in appointed channels with Prestige and the wider On Trade as the focus given the high profile of their wines. Also in the plan is to continue and develop Off Trade sales to the relevant accounts (Definitely more within smaller/premium retailers than top four & discounters…)
