Rémy Pannier has been identified with premium quality Loire Valley wines since 1885, when it was founded by François Rémy, who developed it into a prosperous local négoçiant concern, buying, blending, bottling and selling Loire Valley wines. Rémy Pannier is the Loire Valley’s single largest wine producer, with markets in more than 40 countries worldwide. The organization’s shareholders consist of over 500 individual growers scattered throughout 63 different appellations, above all in Muscadet, Vouvray and Sancerre. Since 2002, Remy Pannier has been owned directly by its alliance of grape growers and vineyard owners.
