Isabelle Lesschaeve, PhD
Principal, InnoVinum Academy and Lead instructor
Hi, I'm Isabelle.
the Founder and Principal of InnoVinum Academy, an online education platform created to demystify wine-tasting rituals.
I teach and coach serious wine lovers worldwide to sharpen their tasting skills using a sensory science framework.
I earned my Ph.D. in Sensory Science from the University of Burgundy, France, and have worked in the wine industry for over 20 years.
Interesting fact
I was born and raised in Champagne, which has certainly defined my passion for sparkling wine and the wine culture.
Fun fact
My grandmother, Pauline, put one drop of Champagne on my lips when I was 6 months old. This event was certainly the determining event that propelled my career as a wine sensory scientist.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the cost of wine included in the tasting cost?
No, I will recommend the wine styles to purchase on your own and that should be widely available.
Which wines will we taste?
I selected brands or typical wine styles that can be found globally.
What if the wines you recommend are not available in my area?
I will provide recommendations for substitution.
I'm enrolled in a certification program, such as the WSET or the Court of Sommelier. Is this training for me?
Yes, this training is meant for people who are struggling to describe precisely Champagne aroma.
I’m new to wine. Is this class too advanced for me?
No, this class is well-suited for beginners and advanced levels alike. I will break down the sensory tasting protocol for tasters of all levels to follow with ease and confidence.
What if I can’t join the live tasting?
I will send you the tasting recording so you can follow the process at a convenient time for you. The replay will be available for 60 days.
