Buying a Vineyard as a Syndicate

How would a typical Syndicate work?

Let’s use one of the Syndicate projects we recently launched as a case study. A St Emilion Grand Cru vineyard - situated just 3km from St Emilion town centre, was identified for acquisition in November. It is next door to a famous Grand Cru Classé vineyard and shares similar terroir as its neighbour. The purpose of the acquisition is to enhance the quality of the existing wines thereby achieving higher prices and margins and potentially elevate the classification of the vineyard to Grand Cru Classé. To achieve this, the founders assembled a quality and world-renowned management team, including Louis Mitjavile (Château Tertre Rôteboeuf) and world-renowned critic, judge and writer Steven Spurrier. The next step is to bring in a Syndicate of ten investors to fund the acquisition.
