Cristian Rimoldi is Export Director for Champagne Salon and Champagne Delamotte. Born in Argentina, as a youngster he spent a year studying in the US before returning to his home country to embark on marketing and business administration studies in Buenos Aires. His appreciation of French culture eventually led to him settling in Paris, where he completed a master’s degree in business and marketing at the IAE-Sorbonne and, later, an MBA specialising gastronomy and wine.

This last move led to a decisive encounter with the world of Champagne, which has held its grip on him ever since.
