William Lesage

William’s journey with Millesime began in childhood, growing up in the family business his parents founded in 2001. From working part-time in wine rack assembly to stepping into a full-time role in 2021, William has worn many hats—assembly, shipping, administration, production management, and now design and sales. Each role has deepened his insight, allowing him to bring a holistic perspective to every client project. For William, nothing is more rewarding than helping clients bring their dream wine cellars to life, blending his ideas with theirs to create something truly unique. Outside of work, he enjoys the thrill of Alpine skiing and rock climbing.
