I love every story behind the wine producers I meet. Being able to support them in their development projects and help them find sources of financing is a real source of satisfaction.

Philippine joined the Master of Wine & Spirits at Kedge Business School to develop her knowledge of the wine sector. She then decided to perfect her tasting skills by taking the DUAD at the Institut Scientifique de la Vigne et du Vin.

A keen traveler, she went on to work in Argentina, Spain and Switzerland, where she held a wide variety of positions in the wine industry (cellar worker, wine merchant, wine tourism guide, export manager...), before returning to settle in Bordeaux.
