Champagne: Matthieu Heidsieck takes over as CEO of Ruinart (LVMH)

With his extensive experience in spirits and champagne, this native of the Champagne region has considerable assets to lead the nearly 300-year-old House, owned by the LVMH group, in a market currently facing headwinds.

 

From one challenge to another…

 

Matthieu Heidsieck, who has just been appointed new managing director of Champagne Ruinart (LVMH) for the French market, is leaving a sector that is currently in turmoil (cognac) to return to champagne, which is also under pressure…
