Pierre Brejoux

From EncycloWine

Pierre Brejoux was Inspector General of the Appellation d'Origine Controlee Board, which controls the production of top French wines. He served as a judge in the Paris Wine Tasting of 1976. In the blind tasting, California wines won both the red and white wine categories. After the tasting, there were many calls for him to resign his position as Inspector General because so many people and groups were highly displeased with the results.

He is also the author of several books on French wine.
