A prominent figure in the Bordeaux wine trade, Christophe began his career in fine wine in the early 1980s, later founding The Wine Merchant, a firm that continue to be a significant force in the global distribution of fine and rare wines.

In 2020, he turned his focus fully to his own estates, including Château Gigault and Château Belle Coline, where he continues to make award-winning wines.

Working alongside respected winemaker Stéphane Derenoncourt, his wines have been recognized for elevating the Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, often cited as one of the region’s most promising, and underappreaciated appelations.

Throughout the program, he will host and guide guests, offering insight and access that extend beyond traditional visits.
