Generational change on 1 January 2025 Déborah Ruffing Tabbone becomes La Chef de Cave Change of management at the Geldermann cellar in Breisach: Déborah Ruffing Tabbone, state- certified oenologist and Master of Wine & Champagne, will officially succeed Marc Gauchey as cellar master on 1 January 2025. She has been working for the private sparkling wine cellar since March 2024 and, together with Gauchey, dived deep into the Geldermann world. In addition to the careful selection of the base wines, this also included the composition of the cuvées with their unmistakable style. "Even on my first day, I was thrilled by the very special atmosphere here. Especially down in the maturing cellar, you can literally feel the history, the tradition and the soul of Geldermann," enthuses Déborah Ruffing Tabbone. Their declared goal is to continue the continuity in terms of taste, character and premium standards, but also to develop them further. Since 1991, Marc Gauchey has shown his flair for unique taste compositions as Chef de Cave. René James Lallier, the last descendant of the founding Deutz family, personally hired the Alsatian at the time. Now he passed on more than 30 years of experience to his successor, initiating her into the secrets of the typical Geldermann character and taste.
