Sandrine Garbay
Sandrine Garbay
Winemaker and Cellar Master, Château d'Yquem France
Hailing from France, the charming Sandrine Garbay is the Winemaker and Cellar Master (Maitre de Chai) for the legendary Chateau d’Yquem, whose wines have given definition to Premier Cru Supérieur. At just 18 years of age, her life mission was set: the young woman with a strong interest in science and a passion for wine aspired to be an Oenologist. After graduating from the Bordeaux University with a doctorate in Oenology, she started her contribution to Chateau d’Yquem, bringing the wine to new heights with her knowledge, dedication and compassionate personality. Managing the cellars for 14 years now, this female winemaker will be gracing the event, her first visit to Asia.
