what: it is sometimes the case that the apprentice outpaces the master. in the wine world, this occurs all the time. and while it doesn’t necessarily have to be a competition, it is always exciting to see the student shine in his or her own unique manner.
romain guiberteau began his illustrious career at the legendary clos rougeard. after his own apprenticeship, he went on to take over his family’s domaine, eventually elevating it to a world-class estate.
a few decades later, brendan stater-west, an american, finds himself working in a parisian retail shop where he is introduced to the wines of guiberteau. shortly after, he reaches out and lands a job at the winery--the rest is history.
we will taste both domaine guiberteau and brendan stater-west’s wines side by side.
