POMMARD, FRANCE (July 31st, 2019) – Château de Pommard and Famille Carabello-Baum are proud to announce the arrival of former LVMH-Moët-Hennessy China Regional Manager, Benoit Daury as On-Trade Director of Sales and member of the Executive Team. Benoit will plan and oversee the expanding strategy of Château de Pommard’s On-Trade activity worldwide.

With the recent conversion to organic and biodynamic viticulture, Château de Pommard and Famille Carabello-Baum’s wines have caught the attention of select hotels, restaurants, and wine bars across France. Today, the wines are available in Paris at Plaza-Athénée, The Ritz Paris, Pierre Gagnaire, Le Meurice, Pierre Sang, for example. Benoit will be in charge of strengthening and broadening the existing strategy internationally with his team.

Before joining the Famille Carabello-Baum team, Benoit spent more than 11 years between Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore where he worked with the most prominent wine players in the region including LVMH-Moët Hennessy Diageo, and ASC Fine Wines. He developed business with accounts for major companies, but also for family-owned estates as well.
