There are sometimes news that can make us smile although they are rather serious. Last week, the South Roussillon Vineyards — in the Pyrénées-Orientales — filed a complaint with the Public Prosecutor of Perpignan after the disappearance of 500’000 at 800’000 hectoliters of wine in the cooperative cellar of Trouillas.
A harm to 1,5 million d’euros
We knew the part of the angels, but this time the angels were more than greedy since 5’000 at 8’000 hectoliters of wine, essentially natural sweet wine, vanished from the vats of the Trouillas cellar. Every year, the cooperative winery produces 60’000 hectoliters of wine. After taking an inventory, the current management team has observed a gap of almost 10 % between reality and stock volumes recorded in the accounts. To give you an idea of what it means, it is the equivalent of 25 semi-trailer trucks. With so much wine gone, even Travolta is confused…
Most of the missing volumes relate to Muscat de Rivesaltes, sold around 140 euros per hectoliter. The loss for the cooperative amounts to a sum ranging from 1 to 1,5 million d’euros.
Bad news after a year of existence
As Denis Surjus explains, President of Vignobles Sud-Roussillon : “We merged into 2015. We realized that there were things that did not fit. We realized that there were things that did not fit 25 April. We realized that there were things that did not fit. We realized that there were things that did not fit. "

However, he hopes that those responsible, the leaders and those who validated the accounts at the time of the merger will be able to explain this mysterious disappearance. It is now up to the courts to analyze the cause.
A situation that the new structure does not intend to endorse as explained by Denis Surjus, President of Vignobles Sud Roussillon. “In the fusion protocol, it is specified that anything discovered having an origin prior to the merger, is the responsibility of the members of the old structure. We will do everything we can to help these cooperators, in particular by spreading the charges over 5 years and the consumption rights called by customs up to 335 000 euros. But we cannot make all the cooperators bear the consequences of this embezzlement.. "
