UNIVITIS, recognised as a producer organisation, was created in 1984 following the transformation of a SICA originally created in 1973.
In 2008, the UNIVITIS union and its member wineries: Cave des Lèves/Saint-André/La Roquille, Côtes de Gensac and Graves de Vayres (Gironde), Villefranche de Lonchat (Dordogne) merged and became a single legal entity with the status of an Agricultural Cooperative Society.
