i. Biography
Moritz Nikolaus Lueke is Head of Grand Cru Select at Grand Cru Select in Bonn. The role sits at the intersection of wine knowledge, commercial judgment, and selection work that depends on a close eye for detail.

Coming Up
Training at University of Geisenheim grounded Moritz Nikolaus Lueke in the technical and commercial side of the trade.

Category Manager for wines and spirits at VOM FASS required choosing, organizing, and shaping an assortment for customers with increasingly exacting expectations. At Schlumberger and Segnitz, buyer and Brand Manager added procurement, positioning, and presentation to the skill set. The path reflects a career built as much on judgment as on palate. Since 2023, Moritz Nikolaus Lueke has held the role of head of Grand Cru Select at Grand Cru Select, bringing earlier experience in media, retail, and trade into a more specialized remit.
Where They Are Now

The line describes the format plainly: a composed afternoon in which the wine service and the kitchen worked in tandem. The thanks map the network behind the event: the restaurant team, the sommelier, the wine house, and the wider circle that made the lunch function as one whole.
