A Passion Turned Into a Profession
For more than a decade, I have dedicated my career to a single region: Burgundy.
Over the years, this passion has led me to meet dozens of winegrowers, follow each vintage closely and build lasting relationships founded on trust, authenticity and shared values.
Today, I work alongside collectors, entrepreneurs, family offices and discerning wine lovers, providing privileged access to Burgundy’s finest estates, helping build private wine collections and creating bespoke wine experiences.
Many of the winegrowers I first met more than a decade ago have since become trusted partners, united by the same commitment to excellence, authenticity and long-term relationships.
My ambition has remained the same from the beginning: to offer independent, discreet and long-term guidance, built upon an in-depth understanding of Burgundy and its estates.

Founder Destination Wines
A Journey Built Through Meaningful Relationships
Destination Wines was not built overnight. Every meeting, every tasting and every vintage has shaped the way I work today.
2013
Discovering Burgundy
My first steps into Burgundy’s vineyards, where a growing fascination for its wines gradually became a lifelong profession.
2016
Learning from the Vineyards
Spending time alongside winegrowers, understanding terroirs and following each vintage became the foundations of my work.
2019
The Beginning of Destination Wines
Destination Wines was founded with one simple conviction: meaningful relationships are more valuable than an extensive catalogue.
That same year marked the beginning of long-term partnerships with Simon Colin, Jean-Baptiste Jessiaume and Pierrick Bouley — relationships that continue to this day.
2020 – Today
Building Lasting Partnerships
The network has expanded steadily while remaining true to its original philosophy.
Today, more than forty partner estates trust Destination Wines to represent their wines in France and across international markets.
The Principles That Guide Every Decision
I have never aimed to represent the largest number of estates.
Instead, I choose to build long-term relationships with winegrowers whose values genuinely reflect my own: authenticity, excellence and respect for Burgundy’s unique terroirs.
This philosophy allows me to provide truly independent advice and an in-depth understanding of every estate I represent.

The finest wines are born in the vineyards, but lasting trust is built through the relationships we cultivate with the people who make them.
