THE STORY OF CLIMADIFF, the wine cellar specialist
The heritage of a French wine family
Traditional wine cellars, the heritage of family know-how.
Wine tradition 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 conservation Climadiff is a closely guarded secret reserved exclusively for wine enthusiasts and informed oenophiles.

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 on the outskirts of 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.
The success of Climadiff was immediate, and the brand became the market leader in France. The brand's exceptional knowledge and understanding of wine and its secrets enabled it to introduce wine cellars to the general public, capable of reproducing the conservation conditions of an underground cellar. Ageing became the brand's signature.

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.
