Peter Dauthieu WG68, 77, founder and chairman of wine business Ehrmanns, passed away at home in Spain’s Jerez de la Frontera on December 16. He met his beloved Jerezana Mercedes in 1964; they married in 1968. Peter established Viniberia SA in Jerez in 1976 and later founded Ehrmanns and the independent fine-wine retailer H. Allen Smith in London. From this, he forged a modern wholesale, retail, specialist, and major off-trade business. A speaker of four languages, Peter worked relentlessly alongside his sons, Peter and Paul, and the Ehrmanns team to build a fiercely independent and flourishing business.
