Étienne Bizot
The Steward
Legacy, values and the long now, leadership as care and continuity.
Étienne Bizot embodies the Steward archetype with exceptional clarity. His leadership is defined by an almost custodial reverence for the Bollinger heritage, a 193-year family legacy he is explicitly committed to carrying past the 200-year mark in 2029.
“My aim, and I think we could manage it, is to go over to 100 years with the same family in 2029.”
