A dedicated team

I was still a teenager when I discovered the rich winemaking past of the family farm and the role played by my great-great-grandfather, Gabriel. I decided to follow his footsteps, and took the same path by studying winemaking. Since then, my passion for wines from independent winegrowers has continued to flourish, and with it, a thirst for authenticity, solidarity and sincerity. It is thanks to this that Vignobles Gabriel & Co exists.

I care to participate to the évolution of relations between winegrowers and other players of the industry. Today, our collective depicts close relationships and mutual respect, two principles that I try to implement with my employees, partners and suppliers on a daily basis.

Passion is to be shared and passed on to ! I am pleased to welcome my two daughters, one after the other, and watch them commit to Vignobles Gabriel & Co’s adventure. Just like me 35 years sooner, Carole and Pauline have chosen to perpetuate the family story and care to reinvent the future of Bordeaux production and distribution. Today, we lead our collective and staff peacefully towards tomorrow’s issues, everyone doing his part.

When I started studying spatial design, I was far from imagining that I would join the family business… Yet, that’s what happened ! I soon realised that the field of spatial design did not suit my personality and that it lacked a human and tangible dimension. After a season working for Vignobles Gabriel & Co, I had made my decision to change career paths. I then practiced for 10 years as Sales Administration and Logistics Manager.
Those years made me reach both personal and professional fulfillment and led me to consider more strategic and organisational topics for the family business.
As the actual Managing Director of Operations I provide for a smooth running of the activity, its sustainability, its continuous improvement, for our staff’s well-being and for cohesion within the collective : winegrowers and employees.

Growing up, I gained professional experience in my family wine-growing holding. It became a true passion that allows me to combine work and other hobbies of mine: gastronomy, family time, friends and savoir-faire heritage. Today, I am proud to be vine and wine manager myself of three beautiful estates: Château le Grand Moulin, Château les Aubiers and Châteaux Haut Sociondo.

After starting my career in a sales capacity I soon realised that my real driving force was wine. I went back to college to specialise in oenology, and today make my living from my passion. My life is spent between managing the family farm in Charente-Maritime and Vignobles Gabriel & Co., where I’m technical manager. It’s hard work but a lot of fun, for which I constantly go the extra mile.

I was born in Bordeaux, living in Blaye and proud ambassador of my region and its vineyard. It was therefore obvious for me to get involved professionally as well. And what better industry than wine !

I graduated from a management, finance and auditing school and after 17 years of experience, I joined the accounting department of Vignobles Gabriel & Co as Financial and Administrative Manager in 2021. I am a person of figures, rigourous and involved. That is why I need to share the values of my company : simplicity, solidarity, humanity, transparency, initiative, ethics. All the more qualities I find in my job on a daily basis and that we practice with my team, the other departments of the company and the collective of winegrowers.

Today, I am glad I fall within a local company sustainably and where the key players are committed and evolve hand in hand towards the same goal, thanks to the diversity of people’s skills.

With a background in commerce, I have always worked in dynamic and committed environments. Joining Vignobles Gabriel & Co in 2018 allowed me to combine my passion for interpersonal relations with strong values, initially as Product Promotion Manager.

In 2023, I chose to reorient my career toward human resources, a field that lies at the heart of human and collective development. I now serve as Human Resources Officer, a role I carry out with dedication and high standards. To support this transition, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources Development in 2024.

I pay close attention to workplace well-being, actively listening to the needs of teams, and ensuring alignment between the company’s values and its practices. What guides me daily: respect, rigor, and a strong desire to contribute meaningfully to a healthy and sustainable team dynamic.

In life, curiosity guides me ! I have always been interested in understanding how an organization works and so I have decided to study its multiple aspects : business, management and human resources.

Since 2019, I have the opportunity to bring my enthusiasm and knowledge to the family business. I had not imagine joining my father and sister so soon in this adventure, but I am proud to take part in our legacy. The three of us form a true winning trio ! As Marketing and Communication Manager, my priority is to raise awareness about Vignobles Gabriel & Co and favour bonds and dialogue within the collective !

Enthusiastic traveller, the vine and wine industry answers my thirst for adventure since it gathers sharing, products diversity and my deep admiration for the winegrower’s savoir-faire.

Originally from the countryside, I grew up surrounded by farmers and vineyards. This connection to the land has always stayed with me. My professional journey began in natural area management, before I redirected my path towards quality, health, safety, and the environment. I joined an interprofessional organization as part of a work-study program during a Bachelor’s degree in QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment), where I discovered the wine industry and the depth of its environmental certifications.

After an initial hands-on experience in a Cognac house as a production operator, I felt the urge to deepen my skills in quality management and gain a better understanding of the technical challenges within production processes. This naturally led me to pursue a Master’s degree focused on quality management.

Curious, rigorous, and straightforward, I thrive in roles where clarity and structure are essential. What drew me in immediately: the cross-functional nature of the job, collaboration across departments, and implementing practical procedures that serve everyone.

At Vignobles Gabriel & Co, I currently serve as Quality Lead. I’m driven by a consistent purpose: to uphold our quality commitments, especially through the Fair for Life certification — a daily challenge. This label unites all teams around a shared goal, promoting both best practices and human connection. My role allows me to represent the company during audits, but more importantly, to maintain a strong link with the field and our winemakers. Even from behind a desk, I never lose sight of what matters most: respect for the work of the land.

Immersed in the world of bottling from a young age, I discovered the trade hands-on by accompanying my father on mobile bottling jobs during my teenage years. After earning a vocational diploma in maintenance, I continued as an operator and then line supervisor, before joining the production unit of a large industrial group. This experience broadened my skills in electrotechnics, maintenance, and team management.

In 2020, I joined Vignobles Gabriel & Co, driven by the desire to contribute to a more human and collaborative project. I started as a line operator, then gradually took on new responsibilities: order preparation, executive assistant, and now Operations Manager.

Curious, calm, and versatile, I’m committed to ensuring that every bottle passing through our facility is stored, bottled, and shipped in full respect of the work done upstream — from the vineyard to the bottle. Today, my role as Operations Manager allows me to draw on all my experience, lead the teams day-to-day, and ensure consistency in how we fulfill our commitments on the ground.

After earning a vocational baccalaureate in IT management as an independent candidate, I began my career in the demanding world of large-scale retail. Fifteen years on the ground, progressing through every position up to assistant store manager, taught me adaptability, responsiveness, and a strong work ethic. But with a busy family life, I needed a more balanced environment.

In 2018, I joined Vignobles Gabriel & Co, initially in a logistics role, before moving into the administrative team. Thanks to the trust placed in me and my ability to adapt, I progressed into coordination and eventually took on the management of GABY Services.

Today, I serve as the Administrative and Sales Manager of GABY Services, the wine and logistics services division of Vignobles Gabriel & Co. I coordinate operations and teams with a focus on efficiency, responsiveness, and quality.

Curious, committed, and with a strong personality, I enjoy learning, sharing knowledge, and improving the services I lead. What I’ve learned along the way: there’s no single set path — just opportunities to seize, especially when they align with your values and your lifestyle.
