You might have guessed that we are wine enthusiasts and we love the beverage so much that,
over the past 10 years, we have been traveling around the wine regions to get to know the estates
and to meet the wine people. For this reason, we came up with the idea to go live and
work in Bordeaux, in 2000. From the Bordeaux region to Tuscany, from the Loire valley to the
one of the Douro, from the Champagne region to Tokaj, from Roussillon to Mendoza, we have been
collecting tastes and human encounters until we found our own way to the world of wine.

More than just the art of wine tasting which we got properly initiated to, we have developed the pleasure
of understanding and appreciating a wine on the vineyard where it has been nurtured. Originally from Brittany,
France, both in our 30s, full of energy, our personal interests are: photography and skiing for Delphine,
the art of cooking, inherited from his grandmother, and motorbikes for Christophe.
Our professional skills, background and experience are also complementary.

Further to completing a business degree in Bordeaux, a diploma in Sociology in Texas and a DESS (post graduate)
in marketing, Delphine previously worked for an internationally renowned cosmetics company.
Her task was to support 600 franchise outlets and point of sales, including sales promotion, direct marketing,
operational marketing and merchandising. In a more recent experience, Delphine was appointed head of
communications and PR, for wine domains in Bordeaux, Argentina and Hungary.

Christophe graduated from high-school in Michigan, USA and later
specialised in International Commerce whilst
studying at a Business school in Angers, France, another great wine area. He underwent management training in
Germany, and has worked as both Head of Export and as Key Account Manager in the IT and banking industries.
With our free, positive and creative spirit, we believed we were a perfect match to start this sparkling year…

I entered the wine world with no other professional training than a true greediness
for good bottles.
