Berry Bros. & Rudd is delighted to announce that it is acquiring the business of Mistral Wines, the prestigious agency house founded in 1970 and run by Anthony and Novella Lacey since 1976, which specialises in the wines of the Loire, Rhône and Midi. Mistral Wines will be integrated into BB&R's agency arm, Fields, Morris & Verdin (FMV), which supplies hotels and restaurants in Greater London and leading merchants throughout the UK

FMV already boasts an enviable clutch of top-flight agencies, including Vega Sicilia, Ridge Vineyards, Champagne Jacquesson, Domaines Lafon, Carillon and Ostertag, Luciano Sandrone, Isabel Estate and Dog Point Vineyard, and the inclusion of the Mistral exclusivities, Château de Beaucastel and Perrin et Fils along with other substantial producers, considerably strengthens this portfolio.

John Hutton, FMV Managing Director, says "This exciting acquisition of Mistral Wines not only strengthens the FMV agency portfolio but also offers us the opportunity to grow our business in new markets." Anthony Lacey, adds "Novella and I are very pleased that Mistral has been bought by the distinguished family firm of Berry Bros. & Rudd and we very much look forward to joining forces with their agency division Fields, Morris & Verdin"
