Virginie Drouot is a French-born American entrepreneur and Co-Founder of KIMMERIA. Born in Champagne and shaped by more than two decades in Los Angeles working in film and commercial production, she developed a distinctive perspective where storytelling, imagery, aesthetic precision, and an acute attention to detail come together.
Her career taught her how to take an idea, a story, or a product and give it an identity, a world of its own, and emotional resonance. Today, she brings together the two cultures that have shaped her: the exacting standards and savoir-faire of Champagne, and the creative audacity of Los Angeles.
This belief lies at the heart of her approach. For Virginie, Champagne is never simply about what is inside the bottle, however exceptional it may be. It should tell a story, awaken emotion, and create an experience.
“ What inspires me is creating a world that can be felt, one that awakens emotion, becomes a lasting memory, and a story that lives on.”
Her world exists at the intersection of luxury, identity, and transformation. From the conception of a product to its visual expression, from its identity to the way it is presented and shared, Virginie approaches every creation with the same perspective she cultivated throughout her production career: considering the whole while mastering every detail, shaping a narrative, and giving each element a reason to exist.
Her experience in film and advertising therefore finds a natural expression within KIMMERIA: a sensitivity to image, light, materials, rhythm, and mise-en-scène, but above all, the ability to transform a creative vision into a tangible and memorable experience.
Deeply connected to her roots in Champagne, Virginie brings to them a resolutely contemporary perspective, enriched by more than twenty years immersed in American creative culture.
