Spear’s Review

Johnny Goedhuis is the chairman of Goedhuis Waddesdon, formerly known as Goedhuis & Co, a key player in the fine wine industry, particularly Burgundy, since the firm was founded in 1981.

‘Over the years we’ve built up a relationship with many top growers,’ Goedhuis tells Spear’s. ‘Relationships in Burgundy are very important. There’s still a loyalty in the region, which is remarkable, and which makes dealing with Burgundy such a pleasure.’

Under his leadership, Goedhuis & Co and Waddesdon merged in 2023, expanding the representation of esteemed wineries in the merchant’s cellar and accelerating its expansion. Waddesdon, a subsidiary of the Rothschild Foundation, represents wines from leading Bordeaux chateaux Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite and Edmond de Rothschild Heritage, among others, exclusively within the UK.
