Aurélien Valance, who began his career at Château Margaux after an internship, will become the managing director on December 1, succeeding Philippe Bascaules, who is retiring but will continue to consult on winemaking decisions. Valance previously served as deputy managing director, sales, and operations since 2016. Corinne Mentzelopoulos previously hosted a wine tasting for students at HEC Paris, which influenced Valance's decision to seek a role at the estate.
