Frédéric was born in the Roussillon wine region, a region located in the South of France and sharing boundaries with Spain. A 2500 year old historical vineyard often blown by the challenging Tramontane wind, and surrounded by both the Mediterranean Sea and the intimidating peak Canigou in the Pyrenees mountain.
When he was only 14 years old, during his very first grape harvest, Frédéric discovered the passion and the love for grape growing and wine making, on the other hand, he also learned both the value of the viticulture and the reward of patience in this challenging and arid region.

With over 11 years of working experience in the wine industry, Frédéric now possesses a seasoned and a unique international background.
Before moving to Japan, he worked as a wine advisor for the château Nadal Hainaut in France, and as a wine merchant, consultant, and educator in countries such as Taiwan and Singapore.
Now settled in Tokyo, Frédéric is a devoted wine ambassador and collaborates with famous French restaurants and European programs by sharing his valuable knowledge and experiences about his native and other French wine regions.
