"I would say that, for a novice, it’s the perfect region to introduce you to wine tasting."

"On the Left Bank, it’s Saint-Julien. And on the Right Bank, Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, obviously. They are my appellations of preference as they are the ones where I spend time."

"More and more women are entering the winemaking profession, that’s for sure, and I think we can now sense a greater delicacy in the making of the region’s wines, which have historically been known as quite masculine. "

" Bordeaux is the basis of my wine life. That’s why I’m really glad to do this masterclass with UGCB. "

"Bordeaux forms an essential part of the wine industry and represents a major education centre for sommeliers from France and abroad."

"One day, I stood up and started smelling and talking about what I was getting out of the glass, how it made me feel."

"I'd probably say vintages from the 60s, 70s and 80s. I love 1976, it's actually one of my favorite vintages, and not just because of nostalgia."
