Pauline Lhote
CHANDON California’s Winemaking Director grew up in Champagne and knew she wanted to make sparkling wine at 14. She earned a National Diploma of Winemaking in Reims, during which her love of crafting rosé sparkling was born. Now on her 17th harvest at CHANDON, she has worked hard to create highly awarded wines with a new house style, amping up the California brightness, vibrancy and intensity in the grapes. She was awarded the prestigious medal of the Order of Agricultural Merit by the French Republic for her winemaking accomplishments and promoting French savoir-faire.
​Stephane de Meurville
As CHANDON California’s Estate Director, Stéphane heads up the business, overseeing the big picture of investments in the vineyard and winery, and planning for a sustainable future. He’s a huge enthusiast of French culture and gastronomy, which led his management career naturally in a wine and hospitality direction. He has held senior positions in Moët Hennessy all over the world before gravitating to California, where he has led the estate into its 50th year in the Napa Valley with a new, reimagined visitor center and received the Winery of the Year Award at the 2024 French American Business Awards.
