I got into the world of wine and cognac through passion.
Passion for tasting, passion for the terroir,
and for the men and women who make cognac.
Cellar Master for the House of Rémy Martin
I chose Rémy Martin and Rémy Martin chose me.
I was lucky enough to be named Cellar Master at 33 years old,
a daring move on the part of a nearly three century-old House.
The teams that preceded me helped me to learn and grow,
and now it is my role to help my own teams to develop.
Being Cellar Master means being the guardian of the House’s style.
It’s like being the conductor of an orchestra made up of all the teams
laid out in rows from the vineyard to the winemaking,
the creation of each blend of the Rémy Martin House.
Each tasting is different and every year is a discovery.
There is a continuous vintage effect,
which means every day there is something new to find.
This is true for the eaux-de-vie, the grapes, and even the casks.
And so, my teams help to nurture the diversity
that I need as a creator, as Cellar Master,
to create new products for the House.
It is also important to guard the sustainability of the terroir,
which leads directly to a real awareness for our environment
and better support, year after year,
for all of our partners.
I still have many things to create and I know that the coming years
will once again bring me their share of emotions, excellence, and the extraordinary.
This is the beauty of this profession; it really is a dream.
