Sylvain François

Sylvain François is an epicure deeply in love with the products of the French soil. For over twenty years he has toured French vineyards and developed a deep knowledge of winemaking regions. The most prestigious wines and most closely-guarded vintages hold no secrets for him.

By combining his skills, Sylvain François created the Louis François brand and, naturally, has become its lead ambassador.
