Fran\u00e7ois Raby<\/h2>\n <\/header>\n

Sommellerie took place very early in my life. It all started 45 years ago at Clos Vougeot, in Burgundy. After obtaining my diploma in hotel management at the ITHQ in 1984, catering quickly became the nerve center of my career. From then until today, I have worked in the best institutions. In 2003 and 2004, I won the Professional G\u00e9rard Delage Cup, with participation in the competition for the best Sommelier in Quebec.<\/p>\n

By working with the best in the business, I also learned to build my character in a discipline of rigor. Via Le N\u00f4tre, Center Sheraton, H\u00f4tel Vogue (Philippe Moll\u00e9), La Queue de Cheval, L’Eau \u00e0 la Bouche (Anne Desjardins) La Forge and now Est\u00e9rel Resort and Bistro \u00e0 Champlain\u2026. In short, I am passionate about sharing stories, discoveries and dreams. I can consider myself an expert with a broad vision, offering unforgettable service, with a solid knowledge of products and customers and adaptable to any style of business.<\/p>\n

At Est\u00e9rel Resort, we are the 4 musketeers of sommellerie, with more than 140 years of experience put together, which makes us a unique and experienced team. Each one controls his passage so that the whole becomes self-sufficient. We are constantly evolving and looking for the best for our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n

Sean Bassett<\/h2>\n <\/header>\n

Having been interested in wines for several years, I decided to enroll at the \u00c9cole H\u00f4teli\u00e8re des Laurentides where I became a real enthusiast. Having been lucky enough to have Jacques Orhon as my teacher, I chose to follow the wine trail. It was with great happiness that it all started at Bistro \u00e0 Champlain (in Sainte-Marguerite-du-lac-Masson), a dream location for sommeliers and wine lovers around the world. Not only is one of the largest wine cellars in North America, with an inventory of 40,000 bottles and over 4,000 products, I have also had the chance to work with several great chefs. The harmony of wine and fine cuisine made me travel … a journey that lasted almost two decades.<\/p>\n

The greatest pleasure for me is when my advice makes the taste buds of a customer smile. Counseling is a job that I embrace every day. To once again have the chance to work with part of the Champlain cellar, which has now established its homes at Esterel Resort, is a privilege I am grateful for. It showcases several gifs offered by all the great wine makers of the world. If each bottle has its story, wine for me is my story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n
