Meet the Team

Alexandre Rougeot

FOUNDER & DIRECTOR

Alexandre Rougeot’s story is somewhat of a wine fairytale. Born in Meursault, Burgundy, to fifth-generation vignerons, he grew up witnessing the thrill and challenge of winemaking firsthand, and soon developed a deep passion for its natural processes. Of course he also fell in love with the final product. So when the time came, he was determined to diversify his family’s long-standing tradition with Clos Cachet.
