LAURENT DROUHIN
Sales Manager for the US market
|
He too followed his father to the vineyards
at a tender age, roller-skated in the cellars and played in the "cuverie".
His fondest
memory (à la Marcel Proust) is the smell of the macerating must.
His first job after graduate school
(Ecole Supérieure de Gestion in Paris) was with a bank. But he missed
Burgundy and was eager to share his knowledge with other people.
The change came in 1993 when he
moved to Paris and became involved with sales for Drouhin. Two years later
he became sales manager for the French capital, directing a team calling
on restaurants, wine shops and individual collectors.
To-day, Laurent is the Drouhin ambassador
to the United States and the Caribbean.
Besides his commercial responsibilities, he is also involved in communication
and other public relation activities such as tastings and "wine dinners".
In 2005, he decided to move to New York with his wife Béatrice
and their two young children. His creative and active personality is an
ideal match for the American life-style.
"My wife, who likes acrylic painting, is definitely calmer", he
likes to say. Laurent has a passion for the sea, sailing and other nautical
sports. |
