Dominique Hébrard was born in 1959. He is married, with four children. He spent a year working at the Mondavi Winery in the Napa Valley, USA after graduating. He was formerly co-owner of Château Cheval-Blanc and member of the board of directors before being obliged to sell the estate in 1999 because of inheritance issues. Apart from his occupation as an international wine consultant (especially in South Africa) and CEO of his merchant company, Maison Hébrard, Dominique Hébrard enjoys the challenge of developing estates with great potential : In 1983, at the age of 24, he founded Maison Hébrard. Two years later, he and Hubert de Bouard purchased Château de Francs. In 1997, he established “Massaya Winery” in the Lebanon, together with Daniel Brunier and two other Lebanese business partners, Ramzi and Sami Ghosn. In 2000 he bought Château Trianon and became co-owner of Château Bellefond Belcier in 2003.... http://bit.ly/HPBzRB
