Nathalie Perrodo

Coming Up

Since 2006, Nathalie Perrodo has held two roles that sit close to the core of estate stewardship: owner of Family wine estates and owner of Château Marquis d’Alesme. In both cases, the work is less about display than about carrying a name, a place, and a set of expectations forward with consistency. The repetition of 2006 across both appointments is not incidental. It frames Perrodo’s practice as one built on continuity, where ownership is tied to keeping estate identity legible over time. Her name is attached to properties that rely on that kind of discipline: holding the line on what the estate stands for while allowing each one to remain distinct.

Where They Are Now

At present, Nathalie Perrodo’s role sits at the intersection of tradition, presentation, and responsibility. In wine, ownership carries more than title; it shapes how an estate is read, how its symbols are handled, and how its identity is carried across markets and generations. Her work reflects that kind of careful attention, with an emphasis on how a house presents itself without losing its inherited frame. That same attention appears in the way she speaks about Chinese clients. The point is not language as a flourish, but language as a practical bridge: her name may not sound Chinese, yet once she meets them, the conversation moves naturally in Chinese. It is a small exchange, but one that shows how trust in this trade is often built through direct contact and ease across borders. Perrodo also treats estate symbolism as part of the job, not an accessory to it. Even a chateau’s emblem can carry long-standing meaning, and changing it is not a cosmetic decision. Her view is clear: the visual language of an estate has weight, and adjusting it means deciding what should remain fixed and what should be redefined.

Signature

Nathalie’s signature wines include Saam Long, which sits within the identity she has helped shape. As a named expression of that work, it reflects the same qualities that define her broader remit: selection, continuity, and a preference for building recognition through sustained estate character rather than noise.

In Their Words “My Chinese clients are always surprised, as my name does not sound Chinese, but when they meet me, they are very happy to converse in Chinese.” “It had been the chateau’s symbol for such a long time that it was a tough thing to change. But I felt it was essential.”
