Christine was born in Vic-Fezensac, Gers, and grew up in the heart of Gascony. Her father was a winegrower and Christine has many childhood memories of the fun of the grape harvest and the hours spent around the grape press. “When I was 5, I tasted the grape juice coming out of the press in the family vineyard – it was a delight! “Christine studied oenology in Toulouse and then worked for ten years in the wine trade for major wine companies in France and abroad: in Gascony, Champagne, Chile, Argentina and Spain. In 2007, she had the opportunity to join Plaimont, one of the largest cooperative wineries in France, as Wine Product and R&D Manager. As an oenologist for the best wines of Plaimont, Christine has proven her expertise in blends: for her, blends must necessarily reflect the typicity of the terroirs of the appellation.
