The founder
J
ean de Bonneval is the CEO and founder of the family firm BONCHATEAU. When he launched the business in 2009 he already had twenty years experience behind him in the exclusive environment of grands vins and had travelled the length and breadth of France and Navarre on behalf of the greatest houses.
Under the aegis of the distributor of the Domaines Lafite Rothschild and the prestigious Champagne house Philipponnat, Jean has met the most renowned cellarmen. During his journeys in France he frequented the best tables, often Michelin-starred, in the company of great wine producers, sommeliers and cellarmen. Interminable discussions would ensue in the course of which gastronomy, oenology and tasting naturally fuelled the debates. All would satisfy their insatiable curiosity for their craft and their quest for the unique aroma and taste.
Today these former clients are Jean’s confreres. United by a strong friendship and a shared passion, they work alongside each other to identify the domaines or vintages that should be tasted immediately and those to be reserved in the cellar for later discovery.
The relationship of trust that Jean has built up over the years with his suppliers, as well as his own experience in the grands vins market, now guarantee the quality of his products and the accuracy of his prices.
