<p>Before we dive into today’s conversation, I’d like tointroduce my next guest, Maud Rabin.</p><p>Maud is Director of Rare Champagne, one of Champagne’s most distinctive and exclusive maisons.</p><p>The story of Rare begins in 1785, when a special cuvée wascreated for Marie Antoinette and the French royal court. That spirit of rarity and refinement continues to shape the maison today.</p><p>Produced only in exceptional vintages, Rare Champagne isunapologetically different.
