Under his parents' influence, Christophe Brunet developed his flair for wine appreciation when he was young. After graduating from Centre de Formation of Niort in France, with a diploma in Catering, Brunet started his career as Sommelier in some Relais & Chateaux and various Michelin Star Restaurants in France. After working for some of the famous names such as "La Tour D' Argent" in Paris, he was appointed as Head Sommelier with "Les Ambassadeurs" - a London Casino Club where he was responsible for a team of four Sommeliers. Brunet finally settled down in 1998, by joining Miguel Torres. As Sommelier at Miguel Torres, Brunet is in charge of prestige accounts, liaising with the restaurant trade as well as coordinating food and wine promotions with restaurants and hotels. He travels extensively in representation of the company.
