Schubert has 14 years’ experience in similar roles and will work closely with Castelnau Wine Agencies UK on sales and marketing development in the UK, and is also responsible for sales in Germany and Japan.
De Castelnau hit a new sales high of 500,000 bottles in 2015 and has said it wants to reach 1m bottles in annual shipments by 2020, according to managing director Pascal Prudhomme.
“We are delighted to welcome Eva to de Castelnau and know she will be an asset to our team,” said Prudhomme.
“We have exciting plans for 2017 and she will have an important part to play in helping to make those plans a reality in our key export markets.”
This year Champagne de Castelnau celebrated its centenary with the launch of its first prestige cuvée named Hors Catégorie.
The 3,500 numbered bottles of Hors Catégorie were disgorged in November 2015 with a dosage of 6 grams of sugar per litre, and carries an RRP of £85.
The blend of Hors Catégorie is 55% Pinot Noir, 28% Pinot Meunier and 17% Chardonnay, selected from 15 base wines from the 2008, 2009 and 2010 vintages.
