Swedish Richard Juhlin is one of the greatest experts in the world of wine and especially of Champagne. A talent he discovered at eight:
« I was with my parents in Germany – Juhlin says during our interview – visiting some friends of my parents on holiday. I was young but the testimony of my family was marked in my memory. Almost as a joke, they made me taste a few drops of four Riesling wines and, as if by magic, for me almost a game, I tried to describe the wines with characteristics that perfectly fit. I was truly charmed by wine ».
