                      2010 REVENUES: 305.15 MILLION EUROS

Reims, Tuesday February 8th, 2011, 5:45 pm - The LANSON-BCC Group recorded
305.15 million euros in full-year consolidated revenues for 2010, up 10.6%.

Business developments

Thanks to 23% growth in export sales (45% of total volumes), the volumes sold
by the LANSON-BCC Group's Houses show an increase of 6%. These figures reflect
a good performance by LANSON-BCC compared with the champagne industry as a
whole: total champagne wine shipments came to 319.5 million bottles in 2010,
climbing 8.9%. The Champagne Houses alone increased their export volumes by
19.7% (source: CIVC).

Excluding the champagne wine brokerage subsidiary CGV, whose activity is
traditionally subject to fluctuations, LANSON-BCC's consolidated revenues are
up 8% to 284.84 million euros.

Consolidated revenues totaled 137.65 million euros in the fourth quarter of
2010, representing 45% of consolidated revenues for 2010; excluding CGV, this
figure comes out at 130.03 million euros (+7%).

Moreover, LANSON-BCC made a major investment at the end of December 2010 to
acquire a vineyard with 13 hectares of organic vines.

2010 earnings

2010 earnings will be released after close of trading on March 22nd, 2011.

As already announced by LANSON-BCC, the progress achieved with the business
during 2010 will make it possible, despite the increase in the cost price of
bottles sold this year, to end 2010 with a better performance than 2009.
