Leading the Singapore office is Arthur Leclerc, who has been appointed director. A key member of Baghera/wines, Leclerc has seen the company grow exponentially since its creation in 2015.

Expect the first set of wine auctions from December 2022, with “Wine O’Clock”, a thematic online auction sale entirely dedicated to Asian customers.
