(Decanter) - Bordeaux vignerons have lost their fight with the Bordeaux Wine Bureau (CIVB) over fees, which they claimed were being wasted. The Comité d’Action des Vignerons de Bordeaux (CAVB) will not have its fees to the CIVB reimbursed, a court has ruled.
The group of ten winemakers had sued for the repayment of five years of the compulsory fees that all wine producers in the region pay to the CIVB. They claimed the money was being wasted on ineffectual campaigns with no transparency.
