13 February 2013: Gide, counsel to Pernod Ricard on the acquisition of Le Maine au Bois
Gide Loyrette Nouel advises Pernod Ricard on the acquisition, via its subsidiary Martell & Co., of 100% of the shares in Le Maine au Bois. The company, located in Saint-Eugène, which is in the "Petite Champagne" area within the heart of the AOC Cognac region, is recognised for its activities as a trader-winemaker, distiller and wholesaler.
Le Maine au Bois holds a stock of high quality eaux-de-vie of all ages, and state-of-the-art industrial facilities, notably the distillery Le Maine au Bois.
This acquisition reflects well Pernod Ricard's ambitions regarding the long-term development of its Martell range, world leader of the XO Cognac category.
The acquisition should close before 30 June 2013.
Legal counsel to Pernod Ricard:
Gide Loyrette Nouel, with partner Nadège Nguyen, assisted by Edgard Nguyen.
