EDOUARD LACULLE
Co-Founder and Viticulturist
Edouard, a graduate from the Beaune winemaking school with a Vocational Diploma in Farming, Winemaking and Oenology is dedicated to the craft of “getting good grapes”. An avid lover of nature and the great outdoors, he is most at home in the vines as he meticulously tends to each vineyard to tell the story of the Côte des Bar region in a glass. His dedication to sustainability is exemplified in his reverence for nature and his ongoing efforts to cultivate a healthy vineyard environment to produce the best quality grapes for generations to come.
VICTOR LACULLE
Co-Founder and Winemaker
Victor, who received his training at the Beaune winemaking school and Institut des Sciences de la Nature et de l’Agro-Alimentaire in Bordeaux, is an ardent traveller and explorer. He started his winemaking journey with various placements in France at Châteauneuf du Pape, at Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, then Domaine Alain Besson, in Chablis and Domaine A.F. Gros – Côte d’Or. In a mission to expand and hone his craft, he then journeyed to Paso Robles in California, where he worked at the Clos Solene winery, a vineyard of exquisite wines run by Bordeaux natives and later to Cape Town,South Africa, Blenheim,New Zealand and finally, the acclaimed Bay of Fires winery in Tasmania, Australia. Singular in his pursuit for terroir expression, Victor seeks to craft compelling expressions of champagne that is in harmony with the parcels they hail from.
RICHIE LACULLE-CHEN
Marketing and Part Time Cellar Rat
Richie, who arrived in Champagne at the end of 2019 from sunny Singapore, is also the better half of winemaker, Victor. She started her champagne journey entirely by accident, but has nonetheless found herself enamoured with the world of winemaking and has become very well acquainted with the ephemeral joy behind each bottle. A graduate in communications and international relations from Deakin University and Monash University in Australia, she remembers her first searing ambition to become a writer of wine descriptions behind each bottle. Since arriving in France, she has received her WSET 2 qualifications with distinction and plans to continue embarking to the next levels. She also hopes to acquire equal distinction in the French language, but it remains, a work in progress.
