What is your story?
My passion for wine began in the Paris-Dauphine oenology club that I still lead with Olivier and Edouard. The winning of many contests together strengthened our friendship. I had been working as a private banker, but joining Verny Paris was a foregone conclusion.
An anecdote?
A tradition: when we go into the vineyards, we put our hands into the ground and take up a handful with a few stones to breathe in the terroir. One day, in Alsace, at Clos Saint Hune, the manager of the Trimbach Estate surprised us in the midst of this rite…. and broke out laughing!
You and Verny Paris?
A beautiful challenge with people who matter.
The possibility of working one day with a domain that is my passion and to sell what amounts to happiness to people.
What is the challenge of Verny Paris?
To become a major player that influences trends on the wine market. We want to be pioneers in terms of discoveries.
An anecdote?
On a first visit to a Burgundy wine maker, long silences with wine in the mouth. These were structured and complex wines that were not very accessible, like their maker, but which were revealed over time, if you had the patience and the desire.
Verny Paris is deeply rooted in French history and culture. Verny, Patron saint of winemakers, was firstly worshipped in France as early as from the 16th century in the Jura, Burgundy and Auvergne regions. During the 19th century Verny's name progressively fell into disuse to Saint Vincent advantage.
On the occasion of a walk in vineyards in the South of France, after sharing a "moment of wine", the three founder members came upon a portrait of Verny on a stainglass window of a church in the town of Figeac.
That is how it all started.
Since then Verny Paris is thriving along with its partners.
