 Thibaud was born in Auvergne, France and spent 4 years completing his undergraduate degree at Clermont Ferrand in Organic Chemistry.  He then completed his graduate diploma in wine making from the University of Bordeaux and postgraduate degree in wine making and marketing from Reims in the Champagne region of France.  Thibaud began his winemaking career in the French regions of Saint Emilion, Pessac Leognan and Corsica, before coming to the United States.  He was briefly making wine in Texas before he came to WillaKenzie Estate in 2000.   Thibaud was the head winemaker at WillaKenzie for over a decade, beginning in 2003.  Most recently he has started his own label, Clos Griotte, in addition to making wine for us at the Dundee Wine Library.
