From 1981 through 1984, I studied oenology wine at Lycée Viticole de Beaune

From 1984 through 1995, I studied wine making in Bordeaux

Then, I traveled to Château de Laubade in Armagnac

In Provence, I spent time in  Domaine Moulin des Costes and Domaine Saint Romain d’Esclan

In Champagne de Castellane, I learned from small wine growers

In Bourgogne, I worked in the big caves, like the Cave des Hautes and Côtes de Beaune

The last of my vine making was spent in Domaine Nicolas Rossignol

In 1996 was a turning point in my career, for I met Olivier Leflaive and worked for the next 11 years as House Sommelier.
