THE FACES OF THE FAMILY
At SIPIAN, each vintage is a human creation.
Behind the vines and the bottles, a united team, rooted in the land, driven by a vision.

Frédéric MEHAYE
Manager & most beautiful winemaker in the Médoc
A distinctive trait: An exceptional business acumen, capable of getting a yes before a no is even said. A true "Médoc salesman," found as much in the cellar as on the road.
Passion: Talking, negotiating, seducing – with a glass of wine in hand, of course.
Quality: Instinctive, generous, inexhaustible. A pillar of the wine industry since time immemorial.
Minor flaw: He's a French-style complainer, but endearing (and often funny... even when he doesn't do it on purpose).
Famous quote:
“Do you know that you are drinking the wine of the finest winemaker in the Médoc?”
(Yes, even on the phone.)

STEPHANIE JACOB
Sales Assistant
A unique characteristic: A true Alsatian, she supports Racing Strasbourg with the same fervor she uses to handle customer requests. Her voice can be heard from afar, and it's often the first one you hear when you call the estate.
Passion: To create connections, to make people smile, to offer a smooth and welcoming customer experience.
Qualities: Dynamic, cheerful, always ready to help. An indispensable presence on the team, and often the point of contact for communication with SIPIAN.
One minor drawback: She can be grumpy with a high-pitched voice… especially at the last minute. But she never leaves a customer without an answer.
Signature phrase:
“I’ll take care of it right away!”
(And even when she's running late, it always ends well.)

Quentin MEHAYE
Position: Brand Creator – Art Direction and Business Strategy
A distinctive feature: Contrary to the outdated image sometimes associated with Bordeaux wines, he infuses SIPIAN with a resolutely contemporary vision. Aesthetics, message, distribution… everything is conceived as a creative brand.
Passion: To create, reinvent, and build a wine brand that marks its era.
Quality: Big heart, creative to the point of obsession, committed to every detail — from bottle design to brand strategy. The rare combination of instinct and structure.
Signature phrase:
“I don’t make wine. I create a universe.”
(And SIPIAN is his playground.)

Sébastien L.
Cellar Master
Special feature: As passionate about his work as on the first day, he cherishes each bottle as if it were the first one he bottled.
Passion: Pipes, pallets, pipettes… and wine, of course. A true conductor of the winery.
Qualities: Dedicated, hardworking, extremely involved. If something is blocking him, he's already working on fixing it.
Minor flaw: Speaks (very) loudly, moves around all the time, and isn't always very diplomatic… But we never hold it against him.
Signature phrase:
“It’s okay, it’s sorted.”
