Wine Historian, Speaker, Author
Doctor in history (Yale, USA), Azélina Jaboulet-Vercherre holds a quadruple degree (art history, archeology, literature, history).
This pluridisciplinarity gives her classes and conferences all over the world a unique scope: Yale University, Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne, Unesco Chair Culture and Traditions of Wine, Sciences Po Paris, HEC Executive Education, Villa Rabelais European Institute of Food History and Cultures.
Oenophile by nature, Azélina Jaboulet-Vercherre has adopted an historical and literary approach to evoke wine. She offers a sensorial and intellectual journey to its aficionados. This medieval historian keeps searching for texts likely to illuminate the thought and uses of wine over time.
She also develops an innovative approach to wine as she emphasizes on the harmony between wine, art, music, emotion and feelings. In her books philosophers, agronomists, theologians, poets, troubadours and prose writers meet around the cup which gives drunkenness.
Publications : Florilège de discours savants sur le vin; The Physician, The Drinker and The Drunk; Le Vin, entre Nature et Culture; Accords Hommes et Vins : quand le vin nous rend meilleurs.
Poet, journalist, performer
Rooted in Italian and Catalonian culture, Alexandre was born in Neuchâtel in 1977 where he lives.
He is a poet, journalist and performer. He founded “La compagnie des autres” alone, and he formed with choreographer and dancer Catherine Dethy, L’ossature des choses, a new concept of “word danse”, through theater improvisation.
He tries to read as he breathes, sometimes expires. He is inspired by Neuchâtel Lake, the Gange and La Seine. He would like to provoke a big bang or a big band between the worlds of gastronomy, wine and arts.
He will never choose between a Miles Davis solo, a Marie-Thérèse Chappaz’s bottle of Grain Noble, football coach Antonio Conte’s three-man defense and Chef Alexandre Gauthier’s burnt Saint-Jacques.
He is responsible for the French HTR revue, media of reference for Hotels, Gastronomy and Tourism in Switzerland.
