History

Henri Macquart founded the Centre Vinicole de la Champagne in 1972 as a storage and vinification unit to serve winegrowers, federated around cooperative or individual wine presses, and it got its present name in 1986.

Nicolas Feuillatte established his brand in 1976, after inheriting a vineyard near Reims, the Domaine de Bouleuse. In 1986 it was purchased by the Centre Vinicole de la Champagne. Centre Vinicole produces about 24 million bottles of champagne a year.

In 2017, Nicolas Feuillatte named Four Seasons employee, Craig M. Joseph, as their new chief Operating Officer.

In December 2021, CV-CNF announced that it would be merging with Coopérative Régionale des Vins de Champagne (CRVC).
