“We were very happy that the American Film Festival contacted us. Happy because it takes place in Deauville. And in Deauville, we are a ‘founding’ partner of a wonderful event called “Planche(s) Contact”. It’s the most creative, the ‘coolest’ photography festival. Therefore, it wasn’t hard to imagine that despite its renown, the American Film Festival would be just as welcoming and relaxed. Not hard to imagine because with our winemaking experience in California now spanning 40 years, we have a tendency to love the American culture (last year, for example, we were patrons of the brilliant exhibition “American Icons: Masterworks from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Fisher Collection” at the Grand Palais) and in particular, like almost everyone, we love American film.

We bring our wines to Deauville, rather like prize racehorses, and for this first year we will tread the festival grounds with the simplicity and sense of family that guide our patronage in Deauville. There is no reason that, for the 240th anniversary of our House, its youthfulness, albeit now well-matured, should not blend perfectly with such a sparkling array of talent.”
