Meet the Bacchic Team

 

Nicolas Laurent – Chief Executive Officer

 

I grew up just outside Paris, surrounded by family who valued good taste. After studying business in Bordeaux - where the rhythm of life seems to follow the vineyards - I made my way to Singapore in 2013.

First I worked at Wine Connection to FICOFI, where I had the privilege of guiding discerning families across Southeast Asia in building their cellars. Later, I joined Cult Wines, managing portfolios for collectors. Most recently, I led the regional sales team at Wine Portal.

My dream for Bacchic is simple: to delight, to intrigue, and to become a reference for fine wine in Southeast Asia.

Among the bottles I reach for most often: Clos Rougeard, Stéphane Bernaudeau, Racèmes, Château Rayas, Jérôme Prévost, Françoise Bedel, Rémy Lequeux-Mercier… and a well-aged Chartreuse, when the moment calls for magic.

 

Rowena  Ching  -  Wine Boutique Sommelier  

 

Born and raised on the small Malaysian island of Penang, I discovered wine early through my grandfather, and pursued this passion by attaining a WSET Level 2 Award.

I have always had a fondness for fuller-bodied wines, especially Pinotage, although joining BACCHIC wine boutique has opened the door to a far broader landscape of notes and nuances, all of which I love to share with customers. 

 

Alexandre Mirabella – Senior Sales Manager

 

Raised at the foot of Mont Sainte-Victoire — the same mountain Cézanne couldn’t stop painting — I grew up between football matches and family meals, where wine was always part of the table.

I studied wine and business in Avignon, where I really connected with the idea of terroir, after which I worked in a Tuscan winery. My first role in Asia was with a wine merchant, and I greatly enjoyed seeing behind the scenes of fine dining restaurants while discovering the wines that still guide my palate today: Dagueneau, Roagna, Quintarelli, Roc d’Anglade, Grange des Pères, Gangloff… and a few that came after. I later joined Pivēne, working more closely with collectors and learning how to match people to wines in a way that felt personal.

In 2025, I joined Bacchic to help build something different: a fine wine importer and boutique that puts people and stories first.

 

 

Silvia Yohan  -  Assistant

 

I was born and raised just outside Indonesia’s capital city, close enough to feel its glamour and grit.

Fourteen years ago, I stepped into the food and beverage industry. My past experience in product development and administration gave me the foundation to support Bacchic's spirit of adventurous elegance. 

 

Stella Kim – Head of Retail & Wine Advisor

 

My love of wine has taken me across the world. I've worked hands-on in vineyards and cellars on Bordeaux's Right Bank, and recieved a Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Diploma, becoming a Certified Sommelier and a Certified Educator. 

In Singapore, I've worked in the wine-importing business, and as Wine Director of the Mandala Club. What I love most is unearthing the wine world's hidden gems, whether I'm hunting down bottles in popular regions like the Loire and Champagne or venturing further afield.

My mission is to make the boutique a destination, both locally and for travellers passing through!
