Biography
Joan Dillon is the daughter of U.S. Treasury Secretary C. Douglas Dillon and his wife, Phyllis Chess Ellsworth. She came to live in Paris, France, with her family when her father was appointed American Ambassador in the 1950s. She initially found work with the Paris Review.
Following her marriage to Prince Charles of Luxembourg, Joan Dillon developed a keen interest in wine, particularly in the family's involvement with Haut-Brion. From 1975 until 2008, she served as the president of Domaine Clarence Dillon, while her husband, Philippe de Noailles, Duc de Mouchy, took on the role of general manager. Under their direction the company bought Château La Mission Haut-Brion, Château Laville Haut-Brion and Château La Tour Haut-Brion in 1983. In 2008 Prince Robert of Luxembourg, her son by her marriage to Prince Charles of Luxembourg, became president of Domaine Clarence Dillon.
Wine Enthusiast Magazine describes Dillon as "a larger-than-life lady, with an indefinable, cultured, mid-Atlantic accent."
