ABOUT PAGE
Hiding behind the scenes of XO madame is Irène Doreau-Campisi, born in Cognac to a mother from the Charente and a father from Sicily.
Get to know Irène
An inheritance, a logical progression, a passion
The child of multiple generations of wine growers in the Petite Champagne region, her childhood was set against a backdrop of the cheerful, boisterous sound of the grape harvest and the intoxicating smell of the wine cellar. From the Charente, Irène inherited her love of the region, its local products, and its savoir-faire. From her Sicilian roots, she got a strong taste for travel, sharing, and generosity.
Irène began her career by working in communications for the Interprofession du Pineau des Charentes, where she was in direct contact with wine growers. Her taste for variety led her to the world of event planning, where a range of different projects offered her the chance to collaborate with prestigious Cognac houses, as well as distilleries, cooperages, and glass factories.
Between her professional experience and her personal interests, the creation of XO madame in 2016 seemed like the logical next step for her. This is the story of XO madame, the result of a desire to meet new people and share enjoyable moments together.
