Gerard Wertheimer

Gerard Wertheimer

Gerard Wertheimer (b.c.1950) is a French businessman based in France who owns and controls the House of Chanel perfume company in partnership with his brother, Alain.

The son of Jacques Wertheimer and Eliane Fischer, it was his grandfather Pierre who co-founded the Chanel business.

The privately held House of Chanel is run by Alain Wertheimer who has presided over the acquisition of several non-Chanel brands, including Eres Lingerie, Tanner Krolle saddles and leather goods, and Holland & Holland, a British gunsmith.

Based in France, the Wertheimer brothers own French vineyards like Rauzan-Segla in Margaux and Chateau Canon in Saint-Emilion, both of which have won rave reviews from oenophiles.

Both brothers are enthusiastic equestrians who also inherited and operate an important Thoroughbred horse racing stable they call La Presle Farm and/or Wertheimer farm for racing in the United States and in France as Wertheimer et Frère partnership.
