The story of Ô Chateau is first and foremost that of a meeting. That of Nicolas Paradis and Olivier Magny, a solid friendship forged on the rugby fields of ESSEC. Then a meeting around a common passion, wine. It is also the story of a professional reconversion for the two men who gave birth to the company Ô Chateau in 2004, specializing in enology courses.
In 2011, as a consecration, the two partners create the largest wine bar in Paris. Neighboring the Canopée des Halles, Ô Chateau is now located in the heart of the capital, in a first district in full bloom and which participates in the renewal of the center of Paris. The place impresses as much as it seduces, by its volume and its character.
Ô Chateau’s goal is to make great wines accessible to as many people as possible. Accessibility to wine, as opposed to the usual practices that can inhibit novices in a still secret and closed world.
At Ô Chateau, all the participants are above all enlightened amateurs driven by a passion for wine. Thus, the sommeliers strive to transmit their knowledge in a playful and educational way, through stories that embody the wine tasted.
