THE SPIRIT OF WINE
L'ESPRIT DU VIN is first and foremost a "wine merchant at home".
It's very common to have wine in your glass, but it's not just a drink to quench your thirst. Wine is about sharing, a millennia-old culture, an endless universe. Our goal is to offer you wines that have a story to tell through a symphony of tastes, aromas, and colors. We are also passionate about introducing you to the winemaker's craft, from the vine to the cellar, so you can fully appreciate the world of wine and, therefore… the spirit of wine.
FOUNDER
Driven by a love of wine, fine gastronomy, and training at the Changins Wine School, Sébastien Lohrmann decided in 2014 to embark on the adventure of independence. This marked the beginning of a process of research and tasting that led him to travel to numerous vineyards in Switzerland, France, and Italy. From this emerged his first wine selection, which grows each year with new gems discovered during his "Wine Trips."
TODAY
After many bottles were opened and tastings organized, a small group of people from diverse backgrounds, but sharing the same values and a common passion, came together. Now a small community, L'ESPRIT DU VIN has grown to include three more people who enthusiastically contribute to discovering and selecting new wines. Since the end of 2019, we have also entered the digital age thanks to the dedicated collaboration of one of our followers.
