Tribute to Jean Pierre Mégnin, Founder and Soul of the Association Lien de la Vigne

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jean Pierre Mégnin, a central and charismatic figure in the international winegrowing world, and founder of the Association Lien de la Vigne.

Jean Pierre was much more than a wine enthusiast: he was a true pioneer of international vitivinicultural development, dedicating his life to spreading innovation throughout the entire sector, linking – like a vine – the world of production with that of scientific research. His global vision and tireless commitment significantly contributed to the growth and enhancement of the wine industry worldwide.

At the helm of the Association Lien de la Vigne, he succeeded in creating a vibrant and innovative network of producers, researchers, and experts, united by the desire to share knowledge, expertise, and experience.

His departure leaves a profound void, but also a valuable legacy that we will continue to honour with dedication and gratitude.

The Association Lien de la Vigne extends its heartfelt support and affection to his family, especially his wife, and invites all those who shared dreams, projects, and visions with him to gather in remembrance of a man who brought the world together… through the vine and wine.
