About us | vivelys

We are passionate about wine, and always strive to bring out its best.

We are devoted to honing our understanding of the complex and multifaceted alchemy that transforms the grape on the vine to the wine in the glass. Our ambition is to see each grape and vintage reach its full potential and express the very best of the terroir, grape variety and know-how it embodies.

Passion

Wine is our passion, and we are just as dedicated to the magic of its creation as we are to tasting the final product. Each day, we strive to understand it better and to draw out the best of each wine.

Excellence

Striving for excellence is what drives us each day in all our business activities: precision in research, exacting standards in quality, rigour in development and selecting technologies, and the provision of personalised consultation support for our clients.

Listening

Listening to our clients is of paramount importance. We seek to forge relationships based on dialogue, transparency and the sharing of ideas. Trust is an essential aspect of partnering with each client to identify their goals, requirements and the project best-suited to them. Vivelys consultants also believe that sharing knowledge and know-how is a key part of this relationship of trust, to ensure continuity when each project comes to an end.

Innovation

As a front runner in precision oenology and viticulture, we have pioneered innovation in several areas: micro-oxygenation (the first international patent), chips (the DC310 and SC100 innovations), cellar management systems (with the leading solution on the market: Scalya®), and decision-making tools for the vineyard (with the leading database worldwide: Dyostem®). As a faithful innovation partner to winemakers, we develop solutions that allow you to respond to new trends and developments in the sector.

History

2015

Launch of SC100 by Boisé

Confident in its ability to launch unique products (BF, DC310), Vivelys marks its 20th anniversary by launching SC100 by Boisé: a chip that results in rounder, more balanced wines

2014

Acquisition by Oeneo

Vivelys is fully acquired by Oeneo. This operation strengthens Oeneo’s high value-added positioning and potential for technological innovation

2012

Consolidation of Vivelys’s services in consulting, technology and oak

Vivelys continues to invest in R&D and consolidates its vine-to-bottle consulting service through the development of know-how, and monitoring and management tools.

2008-2011

Fermentation management project

The “Fermentation Management” project with INRA Pech Rouge (French National Institute for Agricultural Research) and Fermentis (Lesaffre group) gives rise to the first automated management solution on the market: Scalya®.

2008

Purchase of Sféris and creation of Vivelys

After the purchase of Sféris, Sféris and Oenodev merge to form Vivelys.

2005

Determination of grapes’ aromatic profile

The start-up Sféris is formed at the Montpellier school of agronomy as a pioneer in the field of identifying the aromatic profile and potential of various grapes. It launches decision-making support tools for grape profile and harvest management.

2001-2006

Managing the risk of Brettanomyces

The global project entitled “Maîtrise du Risque Brettanomyces” (managing the risk of Brettanomyces) is launched in partnership with several cellars in France, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. Oenodev provides funding for several theses on the risk of Brettanomyces, and lees. The first comprehensive solution for detecting and measuring Brettanomyces tailored to production monitoring becomes available.

1999-2004

International expansion

Subsidiaries are opened in Argentina, Chile and the USA to increase market share while improving the company’s understanding of specific local challenges and characteristics.

1996

Creation of the Boisé range and its production unit

The scope of experiments is broadened to include wood, resulting in a range of high-quality French oak chips designed to complement wines. From the outset, the production unit ensures that quality is closely monitored and that each chip is consistent.

1995

Creation of Oenodev

Founded after the filing of a patent, Oenodev develops and distributes micro-oxygenation equipment, and trains and advises on techniques, becoming the leading expert in the field.

1993

First international micro-oxygenation patent

After several years of experimentation, Patrick Ducournau partners with INRA Montpellier to file the first micro-oxygenation patent, highlighting the phenomenon of controlled oxygenation.

1991-1995

New sensory methodology

The development of micro-oxygenation goes hand in hand with the sensory identification of various types of tannins and the development of sensory methodology to benefit production.
