After viticulture and oenology studies in Beaune, I worked in various French wine-producing regions, then as a cellar master on the family estate. In tandem, I worked as a broker, which led quickly to me setting up my own wine merchant’s. In 1998, I bought Domaine de Vauroux, while developing my wine merchant business. Being in the position to work 4km from Chablis meant I didn’t lose my identity and enabled me to see the big picture and thus work in a completely independent manner. Once my wine has been bottled I don’t really have much more to say about it, rather I prefer to let it speak for itself and to share it with you. – Olivier Tricon.
