Diversity & Inclusion
Welcome to our Table!
Our vision is to create the most passionate, inspiring, and inclusive wine community in the world. We are committed to our vision and core values, which include and embrace respect for each other as colleagues, team members, and human beings, as well as conviviality, a spirit of sharing. We believe that wine, as the core of our company, has always been a catalyst for uniting people, across oceans and across the table to help bring together all origins, backgrounds, orientations, cultures, and communities. This belief remains essential to who we are, and how we can promote the critical dialogue and action needed to build a more inclusive wine world. Our voices are amplified by a passion for driving positive change, the sound of which you can hear all across the Boisset Collection. Welcome to our table!
Tune in to our JCB Live events on YouTube to hear more about our commitment to Diversity & Inclusion, and be sure to check out our curated D&I video playlist featuring Jean-Charles and notable contributors to the movement.
