Nicolas Idiart
Founder and winemaker for the Maison Idiart, Nicolas started his career in wine at the ripe age of 19. He graduated from Blanquefort, a renowned French winemaking school, and started working right away in wineries in the Loire Valley then New Zealand and Australia.
He moved to Canada on a whim and began working in wine sales there. He came back to Bordeaux and continued in sales for many years with a wine merchant for the North American market. This sales experience giving him valuable insight for the different global markets.
He finally went back to his passion for winemaking in 2014 and founded the Maison Idiart. He is always looking for a new challenge or opportunity and fearlessly approaches every new project.
