Côme Sessions: An Exclusive Dinner Dedicated to Exceptional Vineyards and Prestige Investments

On November 26, in the heart of Paris, Côme Maison of Finance and BARNES brought together clients and partners for a new edition of our Côme Sessions, a confidential evening dedicated to exceptional vineyards and the investment opportunities they offer.

Hosted within the Panerai boutique on the Champs-Élysées, the gathering unfolded around a delicately crafted dinner, punctuated by a guided tasting led by head sommelier Cilya Saheb. A privileged moment where taste, heritage, and investment came together.

The vision of BARNES FAMILY OFFICE by Côme: uniting exceptional terroirs and long-term wealth strategy

Born from the collaboration between BARNES and Côme, BARNES FAMILY OFFICE by Côme offers a unique approach: connecting passion real estate — including vineyard estates — to independent wealth and financial expertise. This joint structure stands out for its rare ability to identify, structure, and secure investments in vineyards, a segment where emotion and patrimonial discipline converge.

Vineyard estates represent a distinctive asset class, where longevity, craftsmanship, land value, and brand dynamics create long-term value. Our team supports investors from end to end:

– strategic analysis;
– production assessment;
– land valuation;
– business plan design;
– legal and tax structuring;
– post-acquisition support.

A continuum of expertise aligned with Côme’s mission: connecting every legacy to everything that helps it grow.

Insights from Laure Azema: rare expertise serving investors

Guest of honour for this edition, Laure Azema, specialist in vineyard estates at BARNES Propriétés & Châteaux, delivered an in-depth analysis of current market trends:

– evolution of land value across major terroirs;
– the growing attractiveness of emerging appellations;
– challenges related to succession, transmission, and technical modernisation;
– the importance of brand positioning in a globalised market.

Her perspective, built on extensive on-the-ground experience with owners, winemakers, and buyers, offered valuable insights to all attendees. For the families supported by Côme, these reflections reinforce our ambition to facilitate access to truly exclusive opportunities, providing the level of analysis required for long-term investments.
