When Françoise Rigal took over from her husband Louis, son of the founder of the same name, in the 1980s, she was driven by a desire to modernize the estate, and also began selling their bottled wines. She developed a quality charter that has earned her numerous awards and accolades from around the world. 

In 2003, her daughter Laurence joined her to manage the estate. Applying her solid marketing experience, Laurence showcases Grand Caumont’s aromatic, fruity wines, with their smooth and elegant tannins, on the international stage.
