"The Men "

A great passion for wine and the wish to continue to expand their knowledge of wine, and to share this knowledge with others, was the driving force that brought together Pascal and Stephan Hemard and Remi and Estelle Cook.
They purchased an existing vineyard, Domaine St Luc, in 2006. This vineyard gives them the scope not only to produce quality wine, but also to further develop their enthusiasm for all areas of wine-growing, as well as the marketing of wines,and the wine industry in general. They believe that the knowledge of wines and soils, and wine tasting, is an art form. "

Stéphane Hémard, an oenologist since 1980, has built his career around being in charge of vineyards, whilst also selling and marketing wines. As such, he has developed an extensive knowledge of the different wine regions and wine-making techniques throughout France, and the rest of the world.
In 2001, Stephan founded the Company “ASHCEonologie”, and although the
Company’s main activity is the construction of wine cellars, it has allowed Stephen and Remi to use their knowledge of wine-handling and storage. Stephan is extremely active in the wine industry, both locally and regionally,
and in recognition of his contributions, was elected Regional President of the
Union of Oenologists of France. He has participated in many national and international wine tasting competitions, and in 2004 founded the Society “Worldwide Rosé”.

Rémi Cook, an engineer, agronomist and, since 1992, an oenologist, has worked widely in the wine industry, most notably as technical director of the
Cairanne Cellar. To develop his understanding and knowledge of wine-growing and production abroad, he and his wife, Estelle, moved to the Domincan Republic, where they created a vineyard.
His passion for the production and blending of wines, and his determination to put all the knowledge he gained to good use, has brought him to Domaine Saint Luc. Amongst other responsibilities Remi is particularly concerned with the cellaring and storage of the Domaine’s production.

Estelle Cook, who met Remi through their mutual interest in wine, has a
diploma in English and Hotel Management, and brings her organisational knowledge and expertise to Domaine Saint Luc, where she is in charge of the cellar door reception and customer relations areas.
