René Blisson's Story
René Blisson's Story
I feel like I have been in the wine industry since my childhood. My father was winegrower and created the winery in Saint Hilaire d’Ozilhan. He was also was part of numerous wine organisations, Sybdicat Côtes du Rhône, INAO, Chambre d’Agriculture…so there was a lot of meetings at our home. Even during family meals, discussions were about wine 80%. of the time!
I like that this job gives me both the freedom and obligation of taking decisions on my own. Though I don't think I could do all of this without my wife. My wife, her wonderful understanding and her help. She helps me through my worries and accepts my difficult work hours.
Probably my proudest moment would have been during a blind tasting of wines from the Rhône Valley, with very prestigious ones involved, mine came up in third position.
My advise for any aspiring winemakers would be to taste as many wines as they can from around the world and … stay modest.
Just keep on learning!
