Louis Latour Agencies has boosted its London sales team with the appointment of David Hargreaves and Sophie Cruise.

Hargreaves, who will be regional account manager for London and the Home Counties, joins from JW Lees and Willoughbys wine merchants following a career that has taken in him from Majestic and then down to Australia where he worked with First Choice Liquor and Winefusion. Hargreaves is very familiar with the Louis Latour portfolio as he had Louis Latour Macon-Lugny at his wedding. He joins on May 27.

Cruise (previously Eccles) is Louis Latour's new prestige sales manager for London, and joins the company from English winery, Nyetimber, where she was prestige development manager for London. Cruise has previously been at Moet Hennessy UK and Phipps PR. She joins the company in June.

As well as its own wines Louis Latour Agencies also looks after Henry Fessy & Simonnet-Febvre, Vidal-Fleury, Michel Redde et Fils, (France), Groote Post (South Africa), Viu Manent (Chile), McHenry Hohnen (Margaret River), Wakefield (Clare Valley) and Craggy Range, Wild Rock & Rimapere (New Zealand) in the UK.
