- JP is the winemaking genius behind Ruinart, Mumm and Champagne Baron de Rothschild. And now he's producing Champagne fit for royalty. Just for Angels. At ridiculously silly prices.

Jean Philippe Moulin's Story
Jean Philippe Moulin's Story
In 1977, I began my career in Champagne working as an agriculture engineer specializing in viticulture and oenology.
I began working as a winemaker as I've always being interested in the wine and especially wine making. It's a nice mix between science, quality, creativity and innovation.
My favourite parts of the job are: the harvest, as every year is different, the winemaking because of the exaltation of developing a new vintage every year, the communication around the product and the pleasure of tasting beautiful wines.
I produce unique champagnes based on the chardonnay grapes, with long aging on the lees in our cellars.
My greatest achievements include vintage blending with Louise Pommery and Dom Ruinart, also my involvement in some great projects like Scharffenberger winery in California, or the Pommery winery.
Some of my most memorable moments include a wine festival in Hawai on the Maui island, the round trip in the US to launch the 96 Dom Ruinart vintage and presenting a masterclass in Japan, holding 80 sommeliers focus over 4 hours.
In the future, climate warming will be the biggest challenge, as it will change a lot of things in the viticulture and the winemaking.
I am very proud that many of the wines I have been responsible for have received a lot of awards in many French and International contests.
