The Professor dedicated his professional life to oenology.

He served as Director of the Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences (ISVV) in Bordeaux (France). He was also the author of over 200 national and international works, publications and communications of a scientific and technical nature, and co-produced a Traité d'œnologie (Handbook of Enology), published by Dunod – which is a major reference today.

Professor Dubourdieu was considered one of the top experts in winemaking and the maturing of white wines, and he will remain one of the greatest specialists in the science of wine and winemaking in the world.

His passing is a great loss for the global vitivinicultural sector.

The OIV pays tribute to the memory of this great oenologist and would like to extend its deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

At this meeting, the Minister confirmed his intention to the President, expressed in January in Berlin during Green Week, to submit the candidacy of his country to the OIV.

Rubric OIV Awards

This exhibition brought together representatives for 2000 exhibitors (700 of which were foreign) and hosted over 10 000 visitors.

During a conference organised as part of the exhibition, Jean-Marie Aurand gave a panorama of the state of the global vitivinicultural sector, highlighting the major development trends and main issues for the future, as well as the role of the OIV in this context.

At this event, the OIV Director General also partook in several meetings with representatives for the Chinese authorities, namely the Vice-Governor of Guizhou Province and the Chinese Vice-Minister for Commerce, with whom he brought up the prospects for the accession of China to the OIV.
