"Fifty percent of the growers who sell to the coop are going to disappear," says Laurent Vaillé, owner of La Grange des Pères. "Mondavi was their last chance, the only thing that was going to help the coop stay alive. Mondavi would have shone a spotlight on Languedoc throughout the Anglo-Saxon world.
