A team dedicated to the quality of wines
Olivier
Vigneron
Technical Director
and Cellar Master
With over 25 years in the Group, each year has been different, and I enjoy
having such a diversity of activities in my work, all guided by a passion
for wine, always with the same goal: to craft cuvées in the House's style.
Always with the idea of learning from experience in order to look
towards the future.
The constant pursuit of improvement, of
understanding terroirs, techniques, and every detail in execution, is also
essential.
In my work, I am always in awe of the power of nature, of
the winemakers’ determination to produce the best grapes in this land with
its harsh and changing climate, culminating in the thrilling harvest period,
which is a very special time for me.
What I also love is the life of fermentations, the magic of tastings and
blending, the creation of effervescence, and the slow aging of the cuvées in
bottle. All of these steps are, for our team, moments of reflection and
continuous improvement. This constant self-questioning is a priority in my
work.
Ultimately, if someone raising a glass of Laurent-Perrier in New
York, Tokyo, Paris, or elsewhere is happy in that moment of conviviality
among friends, then our work is a success.
Christine
Carré
Director of Oenology
and Winemaking
When I arrived in 2001, 24 years ago, I had the opportunity of meeting and
working with a team that revealed to me what Champagne Laurent-Perrier truly
is.
From their work, they created this heritage. They passed on to us
their know-how, their knowledge, and the joy of creating—without forgetting
discipline, of course.
Throughout my journey within the House, I was
fortunate to discover the various roles within the production department.
Each one plays a part in the creation and quality of Laurent-Perrier
champagnes. We all share the same passion and the same commitment to
excellence and to the quality of the wines.
It is a team effort that
allows us to preserve this knowledge and pass it on to future generations.
Emmanuel
Robinet
Director of Vineyards
and Grape Supplies
First and foremost, working for a globally renowned Champagne House
recognized for its High-Quality and precise Cuvées.
Then, two aspects
of my daily work mean a lot to me: the vineyard and our
partners.
Ensure the management of the House’s vineyard, allowing it to
produce high-quality grapes, while deeply respecting environmental
regulations and considering the well-being of the staff working there
throughout the year.
Building and maintaining strong relationships with the House’s partners, who
place their trust in us by selling a portion of their grape production—some
of them for several generations. Maintaining a climate of trust between all
these winegrowers and the Laurent-Perrier House, even in an uncertain
economic environment.
Lastly, another important mission is representing
Laurent-Perrier with local economic authorities such as the Champagne
Committee, customs, and many others. For this final point, my previous roles
within the Champagne Committee help me every day.
Sébastien
Cocteau
Director
of Vineyards
The vineyard and its’ soil are a passion that never leaves you. Every
harvest is a new adventure, shaped by nature, climate, techniques and
constantly changing standards, nothing is ever fixed. My goal is clear: to
produce grapes with a high level of excellence. It is a team effort,
together we take on challenges, share our know-how and move forward with
demanding and humble behavior. The vineyard is also a place for innovation:
robotics, artificial intelligence, adapting to climate change... So many
exciting topics that shape the future of our profession and make us vibrate
every day.
Being a winegrower within the Laurent-Perrier Group means
combining tradition and modernity, local roots and a look to the future, in
our beautiful region. The future cannot be built without this strong team,
that I have the chance to accompany every day. And for all these reasons:
our passion is our vine.
Nelly
Gambier
Director of Supply chain
and Logistics
Having to adapt to an unstable international context, to respond to constantly changing legislation, while ensuring the quality and safety of products throughout the entire chain to meet the expectations of our customers. The challenge of tomorrow is to protect and develop our operational and human excellence. The Laurent-Perrier Group has an extraordinary know-how, a real legacy to preserve and to be inscribed in the future. Deeply grateful for the values instilled, the passion for work, and the DNA passed on over the past 18 years, the future must be faced with those same weapons.
Benjamin
Dorigny
Group Industrial Director
First of all, there is the technical dimension and innovation. New
technologies, robotics, and industrial computing are constantly evolving.
They require curiosity, rigor, and vision. My main mission is to guarantee
the reliability, performance and adaptability of the production tools,
improving their ergonomics in order to serve the quality of the wines.
I came to Laurent-Perrier in 2019, I succeeded my father. Since then,
I have been fully involved and now hold the position of Industrial Director.
For more than 20 years, I have remained driven by the same passion for
excellence.
Philippe
Gille
Director of
Production and Packaging
My work is my passion, and what I like the most is managing my team and a
pursuit of customer satisfaction. I constantly approach managing my teams
with the same enthusiasm, to help them to develop their potential. The
success of a team depends on communication and mutual respect. My
responsibility lies in creating a positive and motivating
environment.
I am also deeply committed to the quality of our wines.
Each detail counts, and I make sure that our champagnes reach the highest
quality standards. Satisfying our customers is my priority; their feedback
is essential to continuously improve ourselves. Every interaction is an
opportunity to learn and grow.
