2. n the beginning were the Lords: great wine families of French origin, whose nobility was
established over the centuries with the conquering of arable land suitable for the
magnificent expression of their quality.
Then came the time of alliances and Kings: the marriages between great noble families of
different territories of the country, for the creation of great and powerful kingdoms of different
styles (Bordeaux, Bourgogne, Côtes-du-Rhône, Côtes-de-Provence, Champagne...) whose wealth
and grandeur have thrived up to the present day, notably through the introduction and
preservation of a unique system of laws: the appellations of protected origin.
From the Lords of grape varieties to the Kings of the great appellations, including their Princes
and Dukes, Royance invites you to discover and better understand the marvellous history of
French wine.
Once upon a time, Royance...

3. Drink France, Drink
Royance
Royance was born from the brainwave of Louis Joly
and Philippe Ortiz, two French entrepreneurs and
specialists in international wines and spirits.
Fascinated by their country and the marvellous
resources of its land, they imagined a range of French
wines led by a totally new marketing concept, mixing
innovation and education; an initiative between
modernity and tradition, concerned about revitalising
the French name, defending its identity and
excellence, and making it easier for today’s
consumers to understand.
A Tale of Wine history
Royance retells the history of French wine, the worldwide king of wines; the history of the
families behind the different grape varieties, of which many of those that are today
consumed worldwide are of French nobility (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay,
Sauvignon, Pinot Noir...), from their conquests to their alliances in certain territories,
through which the most sparkling kingdoms of wine in the world were established over
time, their universal styles, their unfailing standards of good taste: the great French
appellations.
4. Royance Values
Passion: Royance wines are dedicated to the grand idea of making French wine better
understood throughout the world: the desire to remind the world that the bulk of the great
grape varieties in the world derive from French nobility and that the great French Appellations,
born from the conquest and union of different territories, are the unsinkable giants of worldwide
wine heritage.
Quality: Royance wines are produced according to the highest standards of quality, while
greatly respecting French tradition. Selected from the best of French wine growers, their style
has been moulded to be symbolic of the French quality that they represent.
Innovation: Royance wines are easily
identifiable by their crown, for an original
aesthetic that contributes to the best possible
identification and differentiation of the brand.
Significant, because French wine is the king of all
wines, this aesthetic crowns the characters of
Royance, making them easier to locate and read,
thanks to an adapted colour-coding system.
Useful, the bottle has been created
according to certified food standards,
allowing its re-use once opened.
5. Royance Values
Passion – Quality – Innovation - Education
Education: Because French wines are perceived as too complex for today’s consumer,
Royance wines are likened to historical figures, whose stories are told using an original and easy
to understand key. Knights and Ladies, the original all-conquering Lords at the head of the noble
families of French wine, the Kings and Queens who ruled over the vast kingdoms that were
created from their unions, and finally, at the heart of these great kingdoms, their Princes and
Dukes, the leaders of expression, even more characteristic of the stylistic currents specific to
the different territories that made up their kingdoms.
