Reims, June 4th, 2010 - 5:45 pm - Lanson-BCC is announcing that the company's
combined general meeting has today approved all of the resolutions put forward
by the Board of Dire ctors. They include the change of corporate name, as well
as the free allocation of one new share for 10 existing shares held.

LANSON-BCC, NEW NAME
The combined general meeting adopted the resolution to change the company's
corporate name to "Lanson-BCC" with a majority, effective immediately.

This new name, adopted at a time when Champagne LANSON is celebrating its 250th
anniversary, will help give the Group a name that is more in keeping with its
profile, its rationale and its ambitions.

ONE BONUS SHARE AWARDED FOR EVERY 10 EXISTING SHARES HELD
The combined general meeting also decided to award one new share for every 10
existing shares held, with this measure intended to thank shareholders for their
loyalty.

In this way, following the stock warrants exercised since March 15th, 2010,
507,136 new shares will be created, representing 9% of the new capital.

Form of new shares: the new shares will be held on a registered or bearer basis,
as chosen by subscribers.
In accordance with the legal and regulatory provisions in force, the rights of
holders will be represented by a registration in their name:
- With the issuer for pure registered securities and, for those who wish to
   do so, with the authorized intermediary of their choice for administered
   registered secu rities,
- With the authorized intermediary of their choice for bearer securities.

Allocation rights: entitlements forming fractions of shares will not be eligible
for trading or transfer (FR0004027068); the corresponding shares will be sold;
the sums from such sales will be allocated to the holders of the rights within
30 days of the whole number of shares attributable to them being registered in
their account.

Allocation requests will be received at no cost from July 7th to 15th, 2010
(inclusive) by CM-CIC Securities, Département Emetteur, 6 avenue de Provence,
75009 Paris, France (Euroclear affiliated member 025).

These shares will be registered in the shareholders' accounts on July 19th, 2010
and as of their creation will be fully assimilated with existing shares, will
have the same entitlements and will be subject to all the provisions from the
bylaws and the decisions taken by general meetings.

These 507,136 shares will be subject to a request for admission on Eurolist
