  Biography of Michel Véron
  
  Winemaker
  
  An oenologist by training, graduated from the University of Dijon, Burgundy in 1986, I worked for 4 years for a Burgundy trade (1987 to 1991). In this first job, as production manager, I vinified, bred and bottled wines from almost all regions of France, from Burgundy to Bordeaux, through the Loire Valley, Alsace And the Rhone Valley. This first experience was a revelation for me, particularly at the tasting level that I practiced a lot, as purchasing manager.
  
  For family reasons, I had to look for a post in the northern part of France. But very quickly, Champagne has established itself as an obvious fact, if only by the quality of the sparkling wines that it offers, undisputed reference for any wine lover.
  
  Professor of oenology in Champagne
  
  I then passed the Oenology Professor Competition at the Ministry of Agriculture and joined the Champagne and the Avize Viti Campus in 1991. Again, this was a real discovery: Of a region, of a particular professional path, with its personalities, but especially its collective linked to its organization. I especially met a wine ...

And as part of my teachings, I have the opportunity to participate, with all humility, in the personal development, but especially professional future professionals of Champagne.

These are the same students who decided to give my name. Of myself, I would never have considered such a project. I had, moreover, a very negative idea of ​​blind tasting and arbitrary judgments, unfortunately often erroneous, which emerge from it. Initially, I agreed to accompany the students on this project in 2009, provided that the champagnes tasted are never noted or compared, and that avoids the pitfall of tastings blind . Then I realized that this Champagne Guide was a great educational tool. It was an unexpected opening on the professional world, which allowed me to stay in touch with my former students and with the professionals of Champagne, and to offer students a real initiatory journey through Champagne, between unforgettable tastings and enriching encounters.
