PRESS RELEASE

                   2011 REVENUES: 310.15 MILLION EUROS

Reims, Tuesday February 7th, 2012, 5:45 pm - The LANSON-BCC Group recorded
310.15 million euros in full-year consolidated revenues for 2011, up 1.6%.

Business developments

Excluding the brokerage subsidiary CGV, whose activity is traditionally subject
to fluctuations, the Group's consolidated revenues came to 287.45 million euros
(+0.9%). This performance is lower than the initial targets set, but still
satisfactory considering the decline in consumption during the second part of
the year.

EUR'000,000               2011     2010    Change
9 months                 169.39  167.50    +1.1%
4th quarter              140.76  137.65    +2.3%
Year to December 31st    310.15  305.15    +1.6%

Consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 represented 45% of the
full-year figure, reflecting the traditional seasonal trend for Champagne wine
sales.

Total shipments for the Champagne industry as a whole are expected to have
climbed to around 324 million bottles in 2011, up +1.4% (figure to be confirmed
at the end of February). In this climate, LANSON-BCC recorded a 7.7% contraction
in its sales volumes, but it is important to note that they had previously
increased by 6% in 2010.

2011 earnings

2011 earnings will be released after close of trading on March 26th, 2012.

Despite the increase in the cost price of bottles sold over the year, a positive
price mix effect should enable the LANSON-BCC Group to maintain a satisfactory
level of earnings.

LANSON-BCC fully owns seven Champagne Houses

- Champagne Lanson (Reims), the prestigious international brand.
- Champagne Chanoine Frères (Reims), wines intended primarily for the European
  mass retail market (Chanoine brand), notably with the Tsarine Cuvée range.
- Champagne Boizel (Epernay), French mail-order market leader, with wines
  distributed in the traditional sector for international markets.
- Maison Burtin (Epernay), a European mass retail supplier and owner of the
  Besserat de Bellefon brand, distributed through traditional networks
(restaurants, wine stores).
- Champagne De Venoge (Epernay), sold on selective retail markets, notably with
  its Louis XV grande cuvée.
- Champagne Philipponnat (Mareuil sur Aÿ), which owns the prestigious Clos des
  Goisses, with wines also available on selective retail markets as well as in
  leading restaurants.
- Champagne Alexandre Bonnet (Les Riceys), owner of a vast vineyard (wine sold
  in traditional sectors).
