He graduated in 1999 from the elite French university Ecole Polytechnique in Paris. Antoine also holds a M.Sc. in Agronomy (AgroParisTech), a Master of Viticulture, as well as the French National Diploma of Enologist (Montpellier SupAgro).

First training with wine tasting in 1997 by Philippe Bourguignon (Best Sommelier of France 1978). He has been practicing organic and biodynamic viticulture for eighteen years, of which he worked eight years at the prestigious Domaine Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet.

"I worked several years in Paris as a business consultant for big industrial companies before I decided in 2004 to dedicate myself fully to my passion: wine. I now marry my two main skills: wine & consulting."

Aged of 46, he lives in Burgundy and travels to other wine regions - especially Bordeaux - and abroad for consulting, .

I advise Chateaux and Estates, owners and CEOs, for :

    - global winery management and strategy;

    - technical issues: vineyards and cellars;

    - expertise in organic/biodynamic viticulture.

Examples of missions:

    - improving vineyard and cellars practices to better reveal a specific terroir;

    - global analysis and recommendations for improving wine quality;

    - independant vineyard/winery evaluation for investors;

    - coaching technical team for experimenting biodynamic viticulture;

    - teaching biodynamic viticulture: basic and advanced.

Looking for the most faithful interpretation of great terroirs.

Bringing a slight touch of Burgundy spirit to the vineyards and in wineries: energy, refinement, minerality.

The greatest wines: powerful and mineral at the same time.
