Originally from the South-West of France, I grew up surrounded by wine and good food. This is probably why, after some scientific studies and a career in engineering followed by fifteen years in consulting and human resources, I chose to go back to my roots by attending oenology and viticulture courses, as well as taking the co-management of a wine club, multiplying tastings and agreements between the food and wine experiences. Passionate about wine, I decided later to found my own company to put my skills and knowledge of wine to serve my customers, while making it accessible. I have a keen sense of smell, and now continue to explore the world of wine with the aim to transmit and share with other enthusiasts. Follow me off the Paris beaten paths to discover wine, gastronomy and all the emotions surrounding them.
