R&J ŒNOLOGY was established in 2007 to meet the need for winegrowers and cider makers for a high-standard technical support by choosing to provide Oenofrance‘s products, whose innovations from it's six partner oenological laboratories have been proven in all wine regions of the world. In 2013, R&J ŒNOLOGY added a selection of products from Martin Viallatte to complete its product range. 

R&J ŒNOLOGY’s experts provide wineries and cider producers with:

​

• in-depth knowledge of the products offered in our range,

• an overview of the wine sector.

 

Providing strong technical support is our top priority and the key to our success.
