Viña Concha y Toro reaches agreement to acquire French Maison Mirabeau, a leading Provence rosé wine brand
The acquisition opens the door to a strategic, recognized, and highly soughtafter French origin among global consumers. With this, Viña Concha y Toro strengthens its premiumization strategy by entering Provence with a leading brand.
Viña Concha y Toro, through its VCT Europe arm, announced the acquisition of Maison Mirabeau, a leading rosé wine brand from the prestigious French region of Provence. Once approved by the French regulator, with this move the company enters a strategic French origin that is recognized and sought after by global consumers, strengthening its premiumization strategy.
Mirabeau, founded in 2010 by Jeany and Stephen Cronk, has grown to become one of the leading Provence rosé brands. Its wines are widely distributed in the UK, Europe and other global markets, and Mirabeau is the leading Provence rosé supplier to the UK On Trade.
The intention is to run both companies with minimal internal changes, and VCT Europe has confirmed it will respect all existing distribution agreements for Maison Mirabeau. There will be no reference to Concha y Toro in the consumer‑facing brands.
Simon Doyle, General Manager of VCT Europe, says: “This acquisition unites two businesses with strong strategic synergies. Maison Mirabeau is a very impressive wine business whose strengths clearly complement our own. We share common values, a clear vision for the future, and a deep commitment to quality and to sustainability. Together we see significant opportunities to add value for customers, consumers, and shareholders alike. We look forward to enabling Maison Mirabeau to continue their impressive development and growth.”
Stephen Cronk will continue as Mirabeau’s CEO. He commented: “Since launching Mirabeau from the garage of our house in Cotignac in 2009, Jeany and I have poured our hearts into shaping it into the worldclass Provence rosé brand it has become. Alongside our dedication to making exceptional wines, we’ve always prioritised genuine engagement with our customers and are deeply committed to advancing our environmental performance. Joining the Concha y Toro family marks an extraordinary new chapter, one that enables us not only to accelerate our commercial momentum, but also to fast-track our environmental objectives and move closer to becoming a truly planet positive business. The whole Mirabeau team is genuinely energised and optimistic about the road ahead, fuelled by bold ambitions, a spirit of innovation, and an unwavering commitment to delivering outstanding quality and value for our customers.”
Eduardo Guilisasti, CEO of Viña Concha y Toro, welcomed Mirabeau to the VCT Family of Wineries: “Maison Mirabeau is much more than an investment for Viña Concha y Toro; it is a concrete expression of our conviction in the future of wine and in premiumization as a path to sustainable growth. Its brand, recognized among the most valued in the French Rosé category, opens the door to a highly relevant new origin and, above all, brings us together with Stephen and Jeany Cronk, founders of Maison Mirabeau, with whom we share a common vision of the wine industry—one deeply committed to sustainability and respect for the environment.
“We are confident that Viña Concha y Toro’s global distribution network will enable the essence and quality of Maison Mirabeau to reach new markets and consumers, expanding its international recognition while preserving its unique identity. Its founders and executive team will remain fully involved in this project, contributing passion, expertise, and leadership to continue building a brand with purpose and global ambition. At a time of significant challenges for the wine industry, this decision reaffirms Viña Concha y Toro’s commitment to the development of the sector. It reflects our deep optimism in wine as a unique and irreplaceable product- an essential part of our culture and of the experiences that connect us as people.”
The company adds France to its current production origins, which include Chile, Argentina, California, Spain and Mexico.
