I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your continued support.
Looking back, the past year was filled with learning and new challenges, and thanks to the generosity and encouragement of many people, I was able to continue moving forward. In addition to my work in wine consulting and export, I was also given the opportunity to begin writing about wine, for which I am deeply grateful.

In the year ahead, I will continue to share — with care and sincerity — the timeless charm of wines shaped by the landscapes and traditions of France.
 

In Maranges, the Burgundy appellation where I live, the Saint-Vincent Tournante will be held on January 24 and 25 this year, welcoming guests from around the world. It is a rare occasion to present the fruits of nearly thirty years of dedication, and I sincerely hope it will become a special moment where history, tradition, and the spirit of the people come together.

Wishing you a wonderful 2026, full of happiness, health, and success.
