THE CLIMADIFF STORY
The heritage of a French wine family
Traditional wine cellars, a legacy of family know-how.
The tradition of wine is a thousand-year-old heritage handed down from generation to generation, embodying French culture, art de vivre and viticultural know-how.
Born of the passion of an 11-generation family of winegrowers, Climadiff preserves this knowledge and these rituals in exceptional ageing cellars, the expression of a heritage from the world of wine. The art of Climadiff preservation is a carefully guarded secret reserved exclusively for wine enthusiasts and informed oenophiles.
Climadiff wine cellars
The art of preserving your wines
The fruit of the imagination and commitment of a French family committed to wine, the Climadiff wine cellar brand was founded in 1995 just outside Marseille, in Provence.
The founders are passionate about history, and committed to preserving traditions and heritage, particularly wine. Owners for generations of a 100 hectare wine-growing estate, 50 of which are vineyards, they have passed on their know-how and values to the Climadiff brand.
Climadiff's success was immediate, and the brand became the market leader in France. Climadiff's exceptional knowledge and understanding of wine and its secrets enabled it to introduce to the general public wine cellars capable of reproducing the conservation conditions of an underground cellar. Aging became the brand's signature.

Frio Group
European leader and global player in wine cellars
In 2011, the brand was acquired by the French Groupe FRIO, based in Sarthe. A pivotal development for the brand followed, with the creation of a range of temperature-controlled wine cellars. The success of this new expertise quickly led to intensified development on the international market.
Since then, Climadiff has been providing wine lovers in over 80 countries with ageing and temperature-control solutions, and is the embodiment of France's winegrowing heritage.
