Born in Beaune in 1995, I grew up in the heart of Burgundy before moving to Lyon for my business studies, which were enriched by several international exchanges. I quickly chose to return to my roots, driven by a deep attachment to my native region and the desire to promote its wines internationally. <\/p>

From 2013 to 2018, I pursued a Master’s degree in business with several international experiences. My first internship, in 2015, was at Vin Malin, initially in digital marketing. I then joined Le Caveau de la Tour for a sales internship, tasked with developing an international client and supplier portfolio from scratch. <\/p>

In 2017\u20132018, I completed my final year of my Master’s degree under a professional training contract within the company, which naturally led to a structured position within the sales team.<\/p>

Over six years, I managed and developed this activity, building a loyal and high-quality clientele comprising private collectors, importers, restaurateurs, wine merchants, and wine professionals across more than 30 countries.<\/p>

This diversity allowed me to understand the specific expectations of each client type, forge strong relationships, and offer tailored solutions adapted to various markets and profiles.<\/p>

In parallel, I developed a deep passion for the purchasing side, both in seeking rare wines and confidential vintages, often sourced from specialized wine merchants or private cellars, and in working directly with wine estates.<\/p>

Thanks to my professionalism, consistency, and shared vision of the profession, I have, over the years, built strong relationships of trust with many winemakers, which now allows me to collaborate closely with them in a long-term perspective.<\/p>

In 2025, I co-founded Golden Coast alongside Florian Scatamacchia, with the ambition to offer an independent, selective, and human-centric approach to the distribution of fine wines.<\/p>

Today, I oversee all of the company’s activities: commercial strategy, relations with estates, purchasing, international development, and bespoke support for our clients, whether they are professionals, collectors, or passionate enthusiasts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A native of the region, born in Meursault in 1994, I grew up in the heart of the Burgundy vineyard, surrounded by the children of winemakers and n\u00e9gociants.<\/p>

Trained at the Beaune wine high school through an apprenticeship, I learned the trade both in the vineyards and in the cellar, working with prestigious estates from Meursault to Vosne-Roman\u00e9e.
Graduating in 2013, I continued my career as a sommelier for a Michelin-starred chef before returning to my roots, taking on the position of vineyard manager in Meursault.<\/p>

There, I refined my skills as a tractor driver and winemaker, while also managing wine distribution. This allowed me to forge connections with numerous importers worldwide. <\/p>

Thanks to my skills and meticulous work, I earned the respect of both older and younger generations within the exclusive world of fine Burgundy wines.
With this unique network as a local, and the friendships I built throughout my journey as a student, vineyard worker, tractor driver, winemaker, and sales professional, I decided to embrace the trust everyone placed in me to launch my own company.
Today, I return to my primary passion: the land.
I co-manage several plots and estates with winemaker friends, both in Burgundy and the Jura. It is this dual experience of fieldwork and networking that I now bring to Golden Coast, the company co-founded with \u00c9douard Konczewski. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Born in Burgundy, I have a deep attachment to this region and its viticultural traditions.<\/p>

A graduate of a Master’s degree in Accounting, Control, Audit (CCA) from IAE Dijon, I dedicated over 13 years of my career to an accounting firm, where I developed comprehensive expertise through audit and accounting management assignments.<\/p>

It was in this context that I met Florian, who was then a client of the firm. Impressed by my approach and expertise, he offered me the opportunity to join his team. I enthusiastically accepted, eager to apply my skills to his companies rooted in the terroir of Burgundy and the Jura. <\/p>

Today, as the group’s chief accountant, I support our various subsidiaries in financial and administrative management, with a constant focus on rigor, reliability, and proximity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Originally from the Hautes-C\u00f4tes de Beaune, I grew up in the heart of the vineyard where my father instilled in me a passion for wine at a very young age. From my earliest years, I spent many summers working in the vineyards. These experiences, combining effort, learning, and discovery, allowed me to better understand this demanding profession and develop a deep respect for the work of the vine and the cellar. <\/p>

After my secondary studies in Beaune, I continued my education in Dijon, where I obtained a Master’s in Wine Management (MSc). This training allowed me to deepen my knowledge of the challenges in the wine world while broadening my perspective on different production and distribution approaches globally. In parallel, my involvement with Tastevinage confirmed my attachment to Burgundy and the promotion of its wines. <\/p>

Today, I am fortunate to apply this dual academic and practical experience at Golden Coast. Florian and \u00c9douard offered me the opportunity to join their venture, and I am committed to contributing to the company’s development and success, by showcasing the expertise of our partners and sharing the excellence of our terroirs with our clients worldwide. <\/p>

Rooted in my Burgundian origins but open to the international, I continue every day to nurture the passion that has driven me since childhood: supporting wines and those who make them, with respect, high standards, and enthusiasm.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

I have always been passionate about the world of wine. I particularly enjoy tasting moments and discussions with local winemakers, whose expertise and generosity I know well. I had the chance to participate in harvests at several prestigious estates (Henri Boillot, Violot-Guillemard, Yvon Clerget, De Montbourgeau\u2026), which allowed me to experience unique moments from within and better understand the richness of the terroir. <\/p>

My career then led me through various experiences, from serving at La Place bar in Meursault, to training in childcare, then a year as an educational assistant at the wine high school. I also worked as a manager of a rental property portfolio. In 2023, I joined Burgundy Cellar S\u00e9lection and now Golden Coast. <\/p>

Today, I enjoy supporting our clients and partners daily within both companies in managing emails and appointments, tracking allocations and invoices, organizing tastings at winemakers’ estates, welcoming clients in Burgundy, and managing pickups and shipments worldwide. This is an opportunity for me to put my passion to work in a profession of encounters and sharing. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
