My actual encounter with vine and wine occured in 1998, between Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin.
It would be an epiphany.
From then on, I have felt the need to do some research and to build in that field.
To start with, out of curiosity. Then out of passion.
First, I regularly spent time on oenology stay in various regions, visiting vineyards, going wine tasting. Then I undertook a complete and reputed curriculum lasting several long years. In 2016, I totally involved myself in this wine tourism project.

I set it up just as I had imagined it: dense and different.
In 2019, I founded my company Le Chant de la Vigne.
This name, Le Chant de la Vigne, is a tribute to Virgil and his magnificent and timeless poetry.
