I began in 92 like assistant sommelier in Chateau de Gilly - Burgundy. After 6 month, i told at my sommelier chef : \u00ab \u00a0why i find always the same aromas in the nose of white burgundy \u00bb Never answer by my chef sommelier. But after 6 years in my job, Claude Courtois said me : \u00ab but they are added yeast who made the same nose, standardization of aromas\u00bb. But i have a very big problem, i\u2019m very sensitive with chemical in wine. But i\u2019m not fanatic\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026just sensitive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What specific traits or skills should a Sommelier(e) possess for professional performance and is there any person with that qualities you especially admire within the wine industry? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Like a great sportsman who has a good quality; this is very important :<\/span><span><br \/>\n<\/span><span>do not be an alcoholic<\/span><span><br \/>\n<\/span><span>not smoking<\/span><span><br \/>\n<\/span><span>do not drink milk and Coke<\/span><span><br \/>\n<\/span><span>eat natural homemade meals<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What would be your advice to a young Sommelier(e) i.e. Commis Sommelier(e) where to look finding an adequate position at home or abroad? Any further tips?<\/b><span><br \/>\n<\/span><span>the best way : begin in France, in region of vineyard. But take your time, because the job of restaurant in France is very difficult.But i have a dream : protect the name \u201csommelier\u201d. For me a \u201csommelier\u201d is just a man who serve the wine in restaurant. And when you has the master sommelier or BP sommelier; you don\u2019t know your job. The best way, during 2 years in a restaurant, you are assistant sommelier. And after 2 years, you meet a committee of great sommelier, and you past a test to know your knowledge. But it is just utopia than i will propose for the day of french sommelier in January. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><em><b>Active:<\/b><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>When a customer asks for advice on selecting wine what's in your opinion would be the best approach? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Always listen the client about his opinion of wine. Maybe, he like great wine and expensive, or natural or cheap wine. If you give him cheap wine, and he wanted expensive wine , or he wanted natural and you give him classic wine : this is not good. The most difficulty of our job : is listen the the client. It is important to have a few of psychology <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What's your philosophy about glasses? Are you working with well known brands or are you considering new brands as well and how do you determine?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>I \u00a0\u00a0have no philosophy about glass, because you can break glass. If you are 10 people is in service of restaurant, and you use frail glass every day. And if everybody is tired, you can have by day 10 glasses broken. I choose solid glass wine and big solid glasses for great wine. Notice important : choose the glass with wash machine; if the glasses don\u2019t correspond with the machine, the dishwasher can broken many glasses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For me my philosophy of service : <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span>to serve the wine with a good temperature : 15 \u00b0 for the red, 10\u00b0 for the white. It is very important to have a good wine fridge. When it \u00a0is an powerful white wine like Meursault or Corton-Charlemagne : i left it on the table and i explain the reason : serve this wine too cold it is a bad service for this kind of wine. During the meal, i can put the bottle in basket with lit ice. For the summer, i put red wine in basket with cold water. For red Beaujolais always in cooler with cold water. Many sommelier forgets our principal job : serve the wine in best condition. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span>A boss told \u00a0me many years ago \u00a0: \u00ab But jean-Charles \u00a0you are not in the bottle \u00bb Of course, but it is very important to know the contents in the bottle. if the wine is borderline because it is too old, it is very important to sell in wine package by example. But if the wine is dead : it is important to say that at your boss. When the wine is very closed and out of sync : don\u2019 t touch and taste the wine later. Then, often for organic wine vinified with natural yeast, this kind of wine is closed, you \u00a0always must put it in decanter. And take your time, it is very important for the client. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span>For the expensive and the old vintage : i never \u00a0recommend expensive wine : it is always the choice of client. An example : \u00ab \u00a0What about your thinking for Yquem 1945 \u00bb My answer : \"It is a very good year sir without chemical in wine, because it was the end of the war. But i never tasted, because the purchase of my boss \u00bb. \"But if \u00a0the wine is not good, you change the bottle\u2026. \u00bb \u00ab this is your responsibility sir\u2026but if you don't take this responsibility, i can propose you an youngest vintage that i know \u00bb <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>What advice would you give people on pairing wine with food?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Always try all. In my asian restaurant; the client try auslese 1991 on halibut or duck. The sauce are a few sweet and spicy. At the last job, nice combinaison between light red wine from loire valley and wild river fish with red fruit sauce. In my apartment i cooked reindeer with port sauce and blue cheese\u2026.and i served Port dalva vintage 2004. Yes i know I'm crazy sommelier\u2026...<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><em><b>Wine list:<\/b><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What are the key ingredients for creating a wine list for a restaurant and what is your opinion on some ridiculous pricing on wine in restaurants, do you have tips on how to determine markups?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>the best way : you sell few appellation than know the client. by example : in France : Sancerre, Chablis, C\u00f4tes-du- Rh\u00f4ne Bordeaux. I'm not a sommelier of money, my pleasure is not to sell the most expensive wine but i want people are happy with good value for money<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\"When I worked at the Mediterran\u00e9e restaurant in Paris , we sold Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet between 70 and 90 euros for a ratio of 2.2, Cheap wine were between a ratio of 4 and 5 \u00a0. One day a father and his son come to eat. It was 8:30 p.m. the restaurant was full, I gave the last table near to the bar. They sit and look at the list of wine. \"Sir , for the Corton-Charlemagne , there is an mistake, it is not 115 euros\" \u201c \u00a0Yes Mr. \" \"But 2004 is not good vintage \u00ab \u00ab For me, you don't have good and bad vintage, but just bad or good winegrower\" \"Wine is not good then ? \" \u00ab No the wine is good; my boss want to offer great wines at affordable prices \" The Mr. took a bottle of Corton Charlemagne and the next day he returned , he took \u00a0\u00a0a second bottle.
