“I have always been passionate about wine. Growing up in a small Champagne area, I realized very early that wine was more than just a drink. It touches on everything from science to history, geography to gastronomy and even the art of living. When I decided to follow my passion, it seemed essential to be able to share it in the best possible context. With École V, I have been given the opportunity to teach in such an idyllic place. A place where the teaching goes beyond the content of the books. You can speak to the winemaker and walk amongst the vines . “ Comments Vanessa.

About Château de Pommard and Famille Carabello-Baum
Founded in 1726 by Vivant Micault, secretary to King Louis XV, Château de Pommard remains one of the most iconic and visited wine estates in Burgundy. Clos Marey-Monge, at the heart of the domain, has been producing one of the greatest expressions of Pinot Noir for more than two millennia. The 20-hectare clay and limestone rich terroir make it the largest and most interesting monopole in the Côte d’Or. In July 2015, UNESCO declared the clos a world heritage protected Climat of Burgundy. The Carabello-Baum family of San Francisco purchased the domain in 2014 and became just the fifth family to guide the estate in almost 300 years. The family has transformed the estate into the ultimate wine education destination where anyone can experience the phenomenon that is Burgundy.
