Interview with Francine Picard

Your favourite quality in a woman

Team spirit, abnegation, honesty, transparency, everything but the “me…me”

Your favourite activity

May I confess ? I’m a jack of all trades, so I have no favourite activity.

Your best wine-related memory

Tasting old Romanée-Conti with Aubert de Villaine, get a taste of the myth, it’s amusing.

Your best wine-related encounter

My companion.

Your funniest anecdote

The funniest thing is to feel at ease in this region, to enjoy this job whereas before I was 25, I really didn’t  want to be a winegrower. I thought I would never come back. As everybody knows, life is unpredictable.

Your favourite wine/wine producing area

Our Chardonnay, it is not the best but this is the kind of wine one can drink regularly and it gives us the opportunity not to drink great wines, it is an easy-drinking, generous and refreshing wine.

Your motto or your favourite quote

“United we stand, divided we fall". I only ask my daughters one thing : be happy, no matter what it takes.

Anything else to say ?

Enjoy the tasting.
