Jean-François Mau will retire from Bordeaux shipper Yvon Mau. For the first time, the family business, acquired by the Spanish sparkling wine producer Freixenet in 2001, will not be managed by a Mau. Although his son Jean-Christophe Mau will
manage the grand cru division, the new helmsman has a different background: Philippe Laquèche is a marketing man who has worked for Danone, the shipper CVBG and Michelin.
