Don't Miss Tomorrow's Louis Jadot Tasting At Francos Wine Merchant in New Canaan, Connecticut!
Not only will they be serving an exciting line-up of Louis Jadot wines, but Olivier Masmondet will be there in person to serve and comment about the wines!
Olivier Masmondet, the National Sales Director of Louis Jadot
The wines will include:
2003 Pommard
2003 Gevrey-Chambertin
2003 Nuits-St-Georges
2003 Volnay
2003 Chambolle-Musigny
2003 Moulin-à-Vent
and a delicious 2003 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc!
The tasting will start at 1 pm and run until 5 pm. New Canaan is available by automobile or the Metro North Railway.
Unfortunately, Monsieur Masmondet will not be serving any wines from the Bugey even though he is a native of that region. A wine prodigy, he studied at the Bellegarde Restaurant School at age 14! In 1988, he joined the Thonon Les Bains School, rumored to be the best restaurant school in France and was granted a sommelier degree. At 20, he became the youngest Head Sommelier in France to work for a Michelin star-rated restaurant. In 1995, he became the Chief Sommelier of the Georges Blanc in Vonnas.
Monsieur Masmondet successfully competed in numerous sommellier competitions and in 2000, he became the youngest Master Sommelier in France at age 30. The same year, he joined Maison Louis Jadot in Burgundy as Export Manager to the United States and Italy. In 2002, he joined Kobrand Corporation as sales director for Maison Louis Jadot wines in the United States.
I've never met the man, but would love to go to the tasting. In fact, I would go if I didn't already have a previous engagement.
It looks like a great event, particularly if you like Louis Jadot wines!
Mark your calendar!
