Gerard Basset

U.K.
Best Sommelier of the World Santiago, Chile

2010

For the late and legendary Gerard Basset, wine was, above all, about people. With an unparalleled career, holding the titles of Master of Wine and Master Sommelier, Gerard saw wine as a tool for human connection. His greatest joy was never the trophies, but rather the ability to guide and inspire young professionals. His legacy lives on in the infinite curiosity and generosity he instilled in the global community of sommeliers.
