Ô Chateau


Olivier Magny
, is the founder of O Chateau. Born and raised in Paris, he began his career in California, working in La Jolla. Back in Paris, he started working as a sommelier.
His career as a sommelier also led him to work with 2-star Michelin chef Edouard Loubet in the South of France. In 2004, Olivier founded O Chateau to share his passion for wine. “French wines are really good and so diverse... but can be pretty intimidating too. My objective was to demystify the whole thing”.
Two years later, Olivier’s great communication talent has made him one of the greatest ambassadors to French wines.
Olivier is the Director and the Head Sommelier of O Chateau... in charge of the wines and of the business... what a menu!

Nicolas Paradis, joined O Chateau two years ago to help his friend Olivier to develop the company. “Olivier has a unique energy and crazy ideas all the time... he needs someone to manage his energy... thank god I'm here now!”.
Nicolas trained as an engineer and completed his MBA from Essec. After working with IBM and for a major strategy consulting company, Nicolas decided to seize the opportunity to work with a friend on this exciting project.
He his in charge of all financial and boring stuff at O Chateau...
Nicolas comes from the South of France, where he grew up among the vineyards of Languedoc (no one really knows whether or not he's a gypsy).


Edward Yardley, is O Château’s blonde Maori. Our own 5’6’’ All Black. Our wine-loving kiwi. After an experience running his own Internet/IT business from age 17, Edward worked for a winery in the Marlborough region of New Zealand and spent three years in IT Recruitment. But Edward just cannot get enough adventure in his life. So while most of his fellow countrymen usually head to London to start off their careers, Edward decided to opt for beautiful Paris. His energy, laughters, reliability and IT talent make him a strong asset for our team.

At O Chateau, Edward is in charge of all IT related things – he’s also and by far the funniest of us all.

Claudine Kervadec, has added unique touch to our team. Originally from Brittany, she's put some much needed balance into the office. The rugby boys needed a blonde girl to level things off (though this one has brains, we assure you of that!).

After finishing business studies Instead of fining a boring job in a global company, she finally decided to join the O Chateau Team convinced by its approach and its philosophy.

At O Chateau Claudine is in charge of the office and the customer care. She liases between our all of our clients and suppliers and is our events manager.
