Bacchus Wines PLDC Ltd is an independent estate-wine merchant that offers joyful and affordable wines to trade and individuals. Launched online in 2021, Bacchus Wines is a partnership between Hampshire locals, wine broker and hospitality expert Pierre-Loup DeCam and Trond Rornes of CardsSafe.

The venture is the brainchild of PierreLoup, whose passion for viticulture began at a young age—having moved from Morocco to France in the mid-1960s. His family continued to grow grapes in the Gironde region, which is respected for wine production. After leaving school, PierreLoup met the son of Raphael Gazaniol, the founder of Chateau Parenchère, where his affection for their wines and a lifelong friendship began. Later working with agriculture and viticulture boards in Bordeaux, Pierre-Loup’s reputation as the go-to man for wine continued to grow. He later settled in Haslemere, England, where he took on a lease of a 500-year-old pub introducing beautiful wines to his guests, chefs, restaurateurs, and collectors.

Chef & restaurateur Jake Saul Watkins independent wine estates - Chateau Parenchère, Paul Lebrun Champagne and Château du Rooy. The flagship collection by Parenchère features the ‘Magnificent Seven’ wines, which include four beautiful reds and the sulphite-free and fruity L’Équilibriste Bordeaux Rouge, an excellent Blanc-Sec and two unique rosé wines. Bacchus Wines PLDC is also excited to work with Paul Lebrun Champagne house. Founded in 1902, the maison draws its inspiration from multi-generational winemaking know-how. Their Champagnes are top in their class and have beaten the biggest brands on the market in taste tests. Three Paul Lebrun Champagnes will be available, including the Carte d’Or Brut produced with 100% Chardonnay grapes with a brilliant pale gold colour, fine bubbles, and a nose of candied lemon and peaches. The Extra Brut with delicate bubbles, notes of white blossom and pineapple and low sugar content. And the Cuvée Prestige Brut with an intense structure, tiny bubbles and nectarine notes.

Small yet perfectly curated, the Bacchus Wines PLDC collection is handpicked and personally selected by the founders. They choose wines for their merits and are not dictated by trends. Importance focuses on provenance, sustainable farming and integrity, and the art of winemaking rather than mass production. Their wines are of top quality yet offer fair prices that hospitality businesses can appreciate. Excellent customer service and an aboveand-beyond approach run through the heart of Bacchus Wines, and new lines will be added in 2023.

“I have been buying wines from Pierre-Loup DeCam (Bacchus Wines PLDC) for over twenty-two years. When I owned the Michelinstarred JSW Restaurant in Hampshire, and since retiring, I stocked my wine cellar with the joyful wines of Chateau de Parenchère. They are my go-to wines, and I always receive excellent wine and service.”
