"Carbon Capture During Fermentation Could Make Wine a Negative-Emission Industry"

Few industries bear witness to climate change more closely than the wine world.  I was born in Napa Valley and moved to Burgundy after graduating from UC Davis in 2001. Together with my husband, Jeremy Seysses, his brother Alec, and our viticulture team, we craft the wines of Domaine Dujac, founded by my father-in-law, Jacques Seysses, in 1968. I juggle this responsibility with my role as winemaker for my family’s Snowden Vineyards in Napa, where I have spent the last 20 years bringing the philosophy of terroir back to the land purchased by my grandparents in the Vaca Mountains in 1955.  Last year the Napa Valley was on fire again. Then in April, Burgundy and all of France endured a catastrophic frost which has been declared a natural agricultural disaster. As an enologist and as a land steward in these two beautiful and historic wine regions, I have recognized that there is no issue more important to our world and industry than that of climate change.
