Olivier Savoye was born in 1963 in Lyon, the capital of French gastronomy. Savoye spent most of his childhood in the heart of Beaujolais. There he started his passion for fine wines, discovering the great wines of Burgundy, the richness and variety of French vineyards, and spending time with winemakers in the Rhone Valley, Bordeaux, Alsace and Loire Valley. His knowledge of French wines and his 20 years experience tasting and researching have made Olivier the "French wines specialist" at Pearsons Wine of Atlanta.
