**Louis Adolphe Octave Gallice** (8 October 1857 – 18 June 1906) was a French [champagne](/source/Champagne) [wine merchant](/source/Wine_merchant) and [equestrian](/source/Equestrianism).

## Personal life

Gallice was born in [Épernay](/source/%C3%89pernay) on 8 October 1857, the son of Eugène Gallice (1828–1872)[1] and Adeline Purnot. He had three brothers and a sister. He married Blanche Elisa Victorine Mauger in 1892; the couple had no children.

Gallice died in Paris on 18 June 1906.[2]

## Business interests

In 1858, Gallice's father had become a partner in [Perrier-Jouët](/source/Perrier-Jou%C3%ABt) with his brother-in-law Charles Perrier.[1] Following the death of Perrier in 1878, Gallice and his brother, Henri, inherited the company, with Henri taking over the running of the business.[3] The brothers also founded Gallice et Compagnie.

## Equestrian

In June 1900, Gallice competed in the [four-in-hand (mail coach) driving event](/source/Equestrian_at_the_1900_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Mail_coach) during the International Horse Show in Paris. The show was part of the [Exposition Universelle](/source/Exposition_Universelle_(1900)), and the equestrian events were later classified as part of the [1900 Summer Olympics](/source/1900_Summer_Olympics).[4]
