Olivier Richard was born in the Rhone valley and spent most of his childhood with his grandfather; Lucien Reymond, who was Olivier’s mentor. Lucien was a negociant in the south of France in 1960s and shared with Olivier his passion for wine. Lucien was a man of the Rhone with a deep love for Sancerre. He would confess to Olivier his dream of making wines from some of the world’s best sauvignon blanc one day, but he never got to realize his dream. 30 years later Micro-negociant Olivier Richard created the Lucien Raymond label as an homage to his grandfather, with a great love for this terroir and putting an equal emphasis on organic and biodynamic farming.
