Terroirs et Vignerons de Champagne (TEVC) has named Eric Potié as its new president.

Potié succeeds Véronique Blin, who stepped down after 13 years as president, choosing not to renew her mandate, the group announced.

TEVC said Blin’s tenure was “essential” in elevating the business to the third-largest Champagne group globally.

She spearheaded the 2022 merger between Centre Vinicole – Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte (CV-CNF) and Coopérative Régionale des Vins de Champagne (CRVC), alongside the acquisition of two brands.

TEVC's product portfolio includes Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte, Champagne Castelnau, Champagne Abelé 1757 and Champagne Henriot.

The company snapped up Champagne Henriot from Artémis Domaines in 2023.

Potié, a long-time advocate of the cooperative model, has been a board member since 2009.

Formed in 2022, TEVC brings together approximately 6,000 wine growers across 2,750 hectares, accounting for nearly 9% of the Champagne vineyard area.

He was previously the secretary, vice-president, and first vice-president of CV-CNF.

Potié said: "I am particularly touched by the trust placed in me by the board of directors, and more broadly by the associate-cooperators. I am fully committed to continuing the work previously undertaken.

“With my colleagues from the Bureau, always in close collaboration with the management committee, we are determined to give our best to ensure the company's sustainability, in the interest of its employees and members.”
