GRÉGOIRE among the award recipients at the OENOVIDEO-PRO 2015 film festival

In late October, the OENOVIDEO-PRO 2015 film festival selection committee met to view and evaluate the films submitted to the competition. The Committee awarded the Initiative Entreprise special mention to the film "24h de vendange GRÉGOIRE (24 hours of Grégoire grape harvesting)".The awards ceremony will take place during the next SITEVI exhibition in Montpellier. The film describes the achievement of the harvesting record during the 2014 grape harvest.

For those who don't recall, following 24 hours of work activities, during which the darkness and the rain put a significant strain on the teams' morale, a G8.270 'ÉLITE set a series of exceptional records:24 hours of non-stop harvesting, 11.7 L/h (9.8 L/ha) consumed, 28.28 hectares harvested, equal to 1.18 ha/h at an average of 6.5 km/h.

This film, which lasts 10 minutes, was created by Bruno Boucard and produced by GRÉGOIRE. The film's protagonists are the teams of the Boinaud company and GRÉGOIRE. Filmed in Bois d'Angeac, at the distillery's historic location in Charente, 25 people collaborated for 24 hours non-stop to achieve a record grape harvest. All this served as a confirmation of the characteristics of GRÉGOIRE materials (reliability, durability, and low usage costs), while at the same time highlighting our innovations (driving comfort, motor efficiency, and ease of adjustments).
