Ellner, the House is still family-run. Pierre Ellner
perpetuated the work of his father by establishing the
foundations for quality which lend the brand its excellent
image. His four sons – Jacques, Michel, Jean-Pierre and
Philippe – took over the reins with the same spirit. Today,
Jean-Pierre and his wife manage the company with the
help of the fourth generation. Emmanuelle and Alexandra
handle marketing, communications and administrative
tasks whilst Frédéric and Arnaud manage the vineyards
and work in the winery. Together, they are bringing change
to the company so that it can cope with the demands of
present-day markets, modernising the facilities in Epernay
whilst safeguarding tradition and the family spirit.
