Isabelle Legeron is a true master of wine, and has dedicated her life to advocating for more sustainable, environmental and beneficial approaches to winemaking. She is France’s first female Master of WIne, and one of only 343 MW’s worldwide. Accolades include the Madame Bollinger award for Excellence in Tasting, the Villa Maria award for Viticulture, and Paris’s 'Wine Woman of the Year'.
