From May to June 2024,
I traveled through France,
visiting wine producers primarily in Burgundy,
as well as the Rhône and Champagne regions.
Standing in the vineyards, stepping into the cellars,
and listening closely to the voices of the winemakers,
I was given the opportunity to deeply understand
the land, the passage of time, and the philosophy behind each wine.
During this journey, I tasted the 2022 2023 vintage—
mainly from barrel, and in some cases from bottle—
while learning about the ideas and intentions that shape each wine.
As the 2023 vintage begins to be released this year,
I would like to gradually share what I saw, heard,
and truly felt during these visits.
Beyond the wines themselves,
I hope to bring the mindset and values behind them
into my daily work.
