    Portrait of Valérie Albada Jelgersma

    i. Biography

    Valérie Albada Jelgersma is one of the three children of Eric Albada Jelgersma. The Giscours site states that Valérie, together with Dennis and Derk Albada Jelgersma, has taken up the reins of the estate after Eric Albada Jelgersma’s death, while Caiarossa says the same three children continue to develop the family’s relationship with the estate and that both wineries are distinct entities within AJ Domaines. A press report from the winery group also describes the family as now being led by Eric’s children, including Valérie Albada Jelgersma, in the ownership and stewardship of Château Giscours.
