"Déguster c’est comparer, c’est donc, à la base connaître. Pour connaître il faut multiplier ses investigations en observant, en notant ses impressions. Mais il faut savoir aussi que nos sens sont imparfaits, et que pour les rendre fidèles, la volonté, l’attention sont indispensables. Le temps aidant, car l’expérience est fort longue, la dégustation réfléchie procure au dégustateur, s’il porte en lui l’amour du Beau, du Vrai et du Vin, la joie profonde de pénétrer dans ce domaine où la nature se plait à concentrer son génie." / "To taste is to compare; fundamentally, therefore, it is to know. To truly know, one must broaden one’s inquiries by observing and recording one’s impressions. Yet, one must also recognize that our senses are imperfect; to make them reliable, both willpower and close attention are essential. With the passage of time—for the process of gaining experience is a long one—thoughtful tasting offers the taster (provided they harbor a love for the Beautiful, the True, and Wine) the profound joy of entering a realm where nature delights in concentrating its own genius."
