PRESS RELEASE

               2010 FIRST-QUARTER REVENUES: 48.83 MILLION EUROS

Reims, May 6th, 2010 - 5:45 pm - The BCC Group recorded 48.83 million euros in
consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2010, up 20.6% in relation to
the first quarter of 2009.

Improvement over the first quarter

Today, shipments for the Group's Houses are better aligned with consumption.

Excluding the brokerage business CGV, sales increased by 10.1% over the first
quarter of 2010, similar to the level for the first quarter of 2007. However,
sales for the first quarter of 2009  (-27.1%) had been affected by the
destocking in the global dissolution channels, while the first quarter of 2008
(+15.1%) had been exceptionally dynamic.

As each year, BCC would like to remind you that the first quarter's business is
not particularly significant and represents only around 15 to 16% of sales for
the full year.

Constant strategy for a global champagne player

BCC is reasserting its long-term value development strategy and its policy,
moving in the right direction, to not ignore any market niches. The quality of
its relations with the vineyard, the quality of its wines, the growing strength
of its brands, the effectiveness of its production  tools and the responsible
approach underpinning its management represent the foundations for the
sustainable development of the Group, the world's second-largest producer of
Champagne wines.

Information on the outlook for 2010 will be provided with the earnings release
for the first half of 2010.

Next date: General Meeting to be held at 10 am on June 4th, 2010 at Champagne
LANSON, Reims
