  • Millésime
    1986
« I was born in Dijon, therefore Burgundy gave me my first wine emotions. But my curiosity for fermented grape juice took me to many places, and my love for it kept growing. I launched The Wine Compass in January 2023, with the ambition of importing wines from all Europe on the one hand, and to make tourists from all over the world discover the beauty of Burgundy wines on the other hand! All the wines you will find and taste at the cellar have been tasted directly with the growers. »
