Levan Ujmajuridze, Director of the Scientific-Research Center of Agriculture, along with representatives of Chateau Zegaani LLC, conducted a working visit to the Leuville Georgian Estate in France.

The visit was conducted within the framework of a Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Georgian National Museum, the Scientific-Research Center of Agriculture, and Chateau Zegaani LLC. This partnership aims to cultivate Georgian grapevine varieties at the Leuville Estate and showcase the rich heritage of Georgian winemaking culture.

A vineyard featuring the Georgian grapevine varieties Rkatsiteli and Saperavi has been established on an area of approximately 1,000 square meters within the Leuville Georgian Estate.

The Scientific-Research Center of Agriculture provides comprehensive scientific and methodological support for the project, while Chateau Zegaani LLC is responsible for the financial provision of material resources and operational works.

The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Georgia to France, Irakli Kurashvili, visited the Leuville Estate, where he toured the newly established Georgian vineyard. Levan Ujmajuridze, Director of the Center, briefed the Ambassador on the ongoing and future activities.

The cultivation of Georgian grapevines at the Leuville Estate serves to promote Georgia’s ancient viticulture and winemaking traditions, while further strengthening the historical ties between Georgia and France.
