The
8th annual La Part des Anges auction and gala took place in Cognac
on 19 September, 2013. Each year of La Part des Anges auction and
gala, International Cognac Personality of Award will be awarded to
those who are most involved and devoted to the Cognac Appellation.
They will be responsible for promoting Cognac in other parts of the
word as Cognac Educators. It was my honour to receive this award this
year, as the first Chinese and the first Asian to be granted this
award. There were 2 candidates who were awarded with the Les Cognac
Awards in 2013, which makes it 12 worldwide in total.
I was very honoured to be the first Chinese to stand in front of 650
Cognac experts, and owners of Cognac Houses and chateau to deliver
my speech as an awardee. It is not only an encouragement to my enthusiasm
and effort to Cognac collection throughout the last 20 years; I believe
the main reason is that the effect of China is growing rapidly, for
them to give this award to a Chinese person. Therefore, this glory
belongs to all Chinese!
