About us
Pure passion and enthusiasm drives us at H2Vin for unearthing under-the-radar producers and their wines – wines that offer a real sense of place, reflecting their precise origins with clarity & authenticity.
Whilst our specialist focus remains the Loire, Burgundy, the Rhône & Spain, we continue to find exciting, artisan producers in an increasingly diverse range of wine producing regions.
Many of these domaines and estates are family owned, follow an organic or biodynamic philosophy, with the discipline and rigour of all never in doubt. Due to their often low-interventionist approach, the personalities of their wines shout loud and clear!

Christian Honorez
Director / Founder
Hailing from the Rhône Valley in France Christian Honorez was no doubt destined for a career in quality wine, one which took him from the roots of the catering industry as a chef at Lou Miradou (Cavaillon, 2 Michelin forks) which he bought in 1978 and cooked until 1983.
Christian then went on to study wine in 1984 before moving to the UK in May 85 where he started working in the wine trade. In 1988 he created H&H wines which sold to Bancroft in late 99 where he continued on in his capacity as head wine buyer. To this day Christian has more than 25 years’ experience in bringing quality wines to top restaurants and hotels across the UK.
Such is his recognition for skill in sourcing quality wines that he judged for many years at the IWC, and has been requested on the Decanter World Wine Awards judging panels annually since 2005 as a consistent reference due to his tasting capabilities.

Cedric Chauvet
London On-Trade Key Accounts Manager
“When one is born and raised in the middle of the vineyards of the Southern Rhône, you can hardly avoid the wine industry! Cedric became familiar with wine on his family estate near Gigondas, but it was during a stay in London when he decided to make his passion for wine his profession. This was the beginning of his adventure in the London hospitality industry, first as Sommelier and then as Restaurant Manager – Wine Buyer.
Cedric met Matt and Christian whilst he was a sommelier at The Boundary Restaurant in Shoreditch and kept in contact with H2Vin at the different restaurants he worked at afterwards. When an opportunity arose in 2013 for him to join the team, he jumped at the chance. He now uses his experience of the hospitality industry to look after the On-Trade customers at H2Vin.”
