Dom Pérignon, the renowned Champagne House, said it is partnering with Liquid Icons, the fine wine research and content production company founded by the late Gérard Basset OBE MW MS and his friend Lewis Chester, DipWSET, and the Gérard Basset Foundation to launch a new Dom Pérignon Golden Vines® MW Scholarship. Applicants can apply online from today until 10 July at: https://gerardbassetfoundation.org/scholarships/the-dom-perignon-golden-vines-mw-scholarship

The Dom Pérignon Golden Vines MW Scholarship Winner will undertake an intensive, paid training program for 4 weeks at Dom Pérignon, in which time they will work closely with the winemaking team, attaining skills and knowledge which will aid them both with the MW studies and with their future career progression. The Scholarship will fund the winner to undertake the MW Certification.

Candidates need to have intermediate French conversational capability, and therefore French language lessons may be required before joining (the costs of which will be included as part of the funding scheme).
