Olivier Magny Olivier is the founder of O Chateau. He is a sommelier and a bit of a nutcase. On top of his activities with O Chateau, Olivier is also a wine consultant for fancy pantsy Hotel de Crillon. In October 2009, Wall Street Journal referred to “Taste-master” Olivier Magny which almost made “Taste-master” Olivier Magny’s mom stop asking him when he was going to get a real job. Olivier’s side occupations include writing (his first book Dessine-moi un Parisien received much press acclaim) and Stuff Parisians Like is coming out in English July 5th, 2001. He is also wrapping up his next book about terroir. And working on developing a TV series about wine. Besides this, Olivier speaks four languages; he loves good food, good wine and good conversations. (read more…) |

Clémence Vernant
If you talk to Clemence, you’ll probably think she’s a complete snob. Truth is, she definitely sounds like one. In reality though, Clemence is both a great Office Manager and a French girl with a penchant for fun. Needless to say how precious she is to us as a consequence. Clemence is a complete gem, fantastically efficient with our clients. Just try and overcome the snob voice… We managed so you should. Clemence is originally from Paris where she studied bullshit business management. Clemence’s main drawback let’s face it: she’s a terrible cook. |
