MY CHAMPAGNE EXPERT - All About Champagne

No amount of reading books, attending lectures, or going to tasting events can replicate the experience of actually being in Champagne, seeing the sights, meeting the champagne makers and taking in the atmosphere.
In this online course you'll 'meet' and listen to some of these wonderful people, see the sights and learn more in a few hours than you could ever do in a fleeting visit to Champagne.
You'll go on a journey through an entire year in Champagne to understand what goes on in each season. You'll discover what most tourists never get to experience and you'll acquire a depth of knowledge that even most sommeliers and other wine professionals never reach.
Whether you are an enthusiastic lover of champagne who wants to learn more and to delight and entertain your friends, or a serious student of wine preparing for WSET exams, or perhaps you already work in the wine trade and want to hone your knowledge and move your career forwards, you'll find plenty to fascinate, entertain and surprise you in My Champagne Expert.

I first went to live in Champagne back in 1996 when I was recruited to work in Moët & Chandon’s headquarters in Epernay. I was Area Manager for Asia and later for Japan and Australia and I was responsible for sales of Moët & Chandon and of Dom Pérignon in those markets.

Wow, what a job. All the glamour and glitz that you might imagine, but above all what an opportunity to learn about champagne at first hand, all day, every day from people who were born and bred in Champagne. I was one of very few non-French people in the company and it was a real privilege.

After 7 years with Moët I returned to the UK where I started what was, without doubt, one of the first online businesses selling grower champagnes, but the appeal of Champagne was strong so I returned to my home in Champagne where for many years I was the only non-French sales and marketing consultant in the region for the independent champagne makers.

During a total of 17 years living and working in Champagne, meeting and talking with champagne makers every day and seeing with my own eyes what goes on in each season of the year, I built up a depth of knowledge that, to be honest, few people from outside Champagne ever have the chance to acquire. I’m not saying this to boast, it’s just a fact.

I’ve packed as much of that experience into My Champagne Expert as I can, but you may be wondering if it’s as good as I say it is. The best way to put your mind at ease is to share some of the testimonials My Champage Expert has already received

... a great course, great content, loads to learn and I would completely agree with the sentiment that once completed, one knows more about champagne than any sommelier!

I certainly appreciated learning things that would never be on a WSET style course.

The whole course was superb, nicely structured and well-paced.

I have now completed the first 2 modules, and I must say, WOW GREAT, I am so impressed.

it was excellent...easy to follow and easy to understand...the whys and wherefores...

…you give insights into the 4,000 independent producers and that knowledge for a wine professional is invaluable. EVERY wine region could use something like that.
