Jean-Baptiste THIAL de BORDENAVE

GWC Ambassador

I think that to introduce myself effectively, I need to say that I am first: passionate about wine. My family makes wine in the Bordeaux region and I grew up surrounded by vineyards. Today, even if I am mainly a Lawyer, my activity is exclusively linked to the wine business. I am also a legal editor for the Revue du Vin de France, and I am part of their Tasting Committee. My wine-related activity is also international since I chair the AIDV: the International Association of Jurists Specializing in Wine Law. Finally, I teach wine law in different Masters: such as the Master in wine law at the University of Bordeaux, at the Université de Reims, as well as in the wine master at Kedge Business School.
