About Us
Driven by a mission,
for the public good.
Livre des Crus is a non-profit foundation to build neutral, open infrastructure for the wine world — building trust in the global wine industry through blockchain technology. The return we are after is the safety and sustainability of the wine ecosystem.
The Company
A non-profit foundation.
Livre des Crus is governed by a non-profit foundation. There is no protocol token to speculate on and no rent extracted from transactions. Verification and reading the registry are free — it is a public utility, not a market to be taxed. Sustainability comes from foundation funding and modest membership contributions from producers and institutions.
Neutral
No single château, négociant, or auction house owns the registry. A foundation and consortium steward an open standard; no member can rewrite history.
Open
Open data model, open verification, open source. A producer can always leave without losing anything they put in.
Private by default
Ownership is provable; identity is not exposed. A serious cellar is a burglary target — privacy is protection, not a concession.
Permanent
Every bottle is a single, owned title on a public ledger — its provenance is permanent, every transfer is on the record, and no one can rewrite it.
Our mission
Winemaking — from long before the bloom to the moment the cork is set — is an art and a culture in its own right. Our mission is to safeguard that living history.

“The goal is not profit. The goal is a safer, more sustainable wine ecosystem — and the trust that makes great wine worth collecting at all.”
