Champagne Laurent-Perrier launched the Champagne Laurent-Perrier Women in Wine Leadership Scholarship in association with Winebow. The merit-based award “celebrates, encourages and supports” women wine leaders in the U.S. The scholarship, presented with the SommFoundation, will be awarded annually to three women furthering their studies through the Court of Master Sommeliers – one at each course level. The full program includes a monetary endowment, a trip to New York City to attend Winebow’s 8th Annual Women in Wine Leadership Symposium, as well as one-on-one mentoring sessions with Champagne Laurent-Perrier U.S. President Michelle DeFeo. Female-owned and -run, the scholarship honors and was “largely inspired by the efforts of the many strong and daring women, both in France and the U.S., who have led Champagne Laurent-Perrier over the past two centuries.”
