From the importer: Though in his late 20s, Jean-Baptiste Boudier is no novice. Having already racked up an impressive list of internship experiences across France and beyond, his diplomas in viticulture and enology include a BTS at the Lycée Viticole in Beaune, a License Science de la Vigne in Dijon, and a Dîplome Nationale en Oenologie in Bordeaux. His first apprenticeship was with his second cousin, Nicolas Rossignol, in the Côte de Beaune, followed by stints in Saint Emilion, New Zealand (Georges Michel), Châteauneuf du Pape (Vieux Télégraphe), Gevrey-Chambertin (Marchand Frères), Roussillon (Domaine Gauby), and Pessac (Haut Brion). To describe him as smart, focused, and ambitious would clearly be an understatement.
