Hommage à Nicolas Bagnoud

Nicolas Bagnoud is a vintner and winemaker from Valais. I sat in Oenology class with his sons at Changins. We were fortunate to have Nicolas explain to us the complex processes of the chemical interactions. Then everything became clear and seemed easy. Nicolas has not only an immense knowledge and wisdom, but he has a Midas touch in winemaking.
