The Story
of a trio

Frédéric

Frédéric Beigbeder is a writer, literary critic and filmmaker.

He is both an enthusiastic party-goer and highly sensitive to environmental issues, which he already exposed in his first novels. It was therefore quite natural for him to produce a premium vodka made in the most responsible way possible. He is the author of “Love lasts three years” (1997), “99 francs” (2000), “Windows on the World” (Interallié prize 2003), “A French novel” (Renaudot prize 2009). He has directed “Love lasts three years” (2012) and “The Ideal” (2016) for the big screen. A former copywriter at CLM/BBDO, TBWA and Young & Rubicam, he was head of the French Literature Department at Flammarion from 2003 to 2006 and Editorial Director of LUI magazine from 2013 to 2017. He hosted “Le Cercle” on Canal + from 2007 to 2015. e has been a serialist for the Figaro Magazine since 2012 and a columnist for the “Masque et la Plume” on France Inter since 1998.

Guillaume

The childhood friend of Frédéric and Charles, Guillaume Rappeneau has been a media and marketing professional for 25 years, as well as a producer of documentaries.

In 2013, he produced an edifying investigation on the disappearance of sand. It was all the more important for him that the bottle of Le Philtre Organic Vodka does not use any extra grain of sand. He began his career on the television channel “La 5”, then with the magazine “Paris Match”, before joining the management of the famous culture magazine “Technikart” in 1997. If today, and for the past 15 years, he has been producing documentaries for major French and international television channels, he also created in 2015 the hotel, bar and club Le Montana in Saint Germain des Prés.

Charles

Charles Beigbeder is a « serial entrepreneur » and founder of several companies.

Charles has been a successful businessman, setting up start-ups that everyone thought were impossible. He does it again with Le Philtre Organic Vodka, which aims to reconcile two values that seem antinomic: hedonism and eco-responsibility. Charles is currently Chairman of the Gravitation Holding Company. He founded the online broker Selftrade, now Boursorama, the electricity supplier Poweo, now Total, the agricultural producer AgroGeneration, the private equity company Audacia and the ready-to-wear company Bourrienne Paris X.
