Tokyo is like my second home after Reims. It’s where I started my career in champagne in the early 1990s. Japan was a very small market for champagne then. Today it is by far our biggest market, and I feel very attached to Tokyo as a city. It is a fantastic, multi-layered place. You have to be patient and learn how to reveal each of the layers. If you are not open-minded, you probably won’t get there, but as soon as you understand, it’s completely endless. Life can go from ultimate refinement to crazy moments.
東京,是我老家蘭斯(Reims)之外的第二故鄉,上世紀90年代,我正是在這裏開始香檳酒這個行當。當時的日本在公司銷售版圖上是個很不起眼的角色,如今它是我們公司的最大市場。我對東京這個城市也已是難以割捨:它是個美不勝收的多層次多元化城市,有足夠耐心的人才能深入瞭解其各個層面。理念不開放的人則可能難以企及,但一旦深入瞭解,東京就會展現無窮魅力與內涵。從無限精緻到瘋狂瞬間的生活應有盡有。
