Laurent-Perrier Champagne Scholarships aimed at UK wine trade and somms
The Gérard Basset Foundation has a new Champagne scholarship programme with Laurent-Perrier specifically aimed at the UK wine trade and somms and invite you to apply for one of the ten amazing places.
The Laurent-Perrier Champagne Scholarships offer 10 winners:
The opportunity to undertake the renowned Wine Scholar Guild Champagne Masters course - the most up-to-date and comprehensive certification available on the wines of Champagne, taught by industry-recognised experts in the field.
Alongside this course, Scholars will also undertake 2 days of masterclasses in negotiation and sales, developing and refining essential skills in both the on- and off-trade sectors of the wine industry and putting into practice the product knowledge they have gained.
Laurent-Perrier will also host a tutored tasting session with the winners. This provides a chance for them to fully understand how the Champagnes are crafted and allows them to work on and improve their tasting techniques.
The Laurent-Perrier Champagne Scholarships are open to UK-based applicants only.
One of the aims of these scholarships is to support and further inclusion and accessibility in the wine industry. Therefore, we welcome applicants who come from a wide range of communities and circumstances, and will ask candidates to explain in their own words what winning a scholarship will mean to them and enable them to achieve.
Applicants should familiarise themselves with course requirements of Wine Scholar Guild Champagne Masters programme and ensure that they comply.
