Value proposition

We brings together all research, training and technology transfer teams in the wine sector on the Bordeaux site.

Situated at the heart of the world’s N°1 fine wine production region, the University of Bordeaux Institut des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin (Institute of Vine & Wine Science) is a multidisciplinary higher education, research and development center dedicated to meeting the challenges facing the wine industry of tomorrow.

The Institut des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin opened its doors in January 2009. It brings together all research, training and technology transfer teams of the numerous partners working in the wine sector on the Bordeaux site. A building offering over 10,000 m2 of space on the INRA (French National Institute for Agronomic Research) site at Villenave d'Ornon houses some of these research teams and nearly 400 students.

Today, the ISVV's articles of association confirm its special status within the University of Bordeaux, possessing its own Board with representatives of all the Institute's partners. It nurtures strong links with key players in the profession, particularly the CIVB, and develops technology transfer actions with the Inno’Vin cluster.

From a desire to develop and extend the oenology and viticulture field with academics, research centers and industrial partners to the international level, a network named OENOVITI International was created in 2010.
