Raised in a family of fourth-generation winemakers, Corentin grew up among the oak tree forests and vineyards of France’s Gironde region. After graduating from university where he studied biomaterials, he spent a year backpacking and exploring Australia. Upon his return home, he fell in love with the Arcachon Basin and settled there for several years enjoying surfing, cycling, running, and the local culture.

Corentin’s love of gastronomy brought him to Paris to work in prestigious restaurants. In 2022, he decided to leave Paris to explore the Indian Ocean and practice his passion for trail running and cycling on the island of Réunion. Now back home in France, Corentin looks forward to sharing his knowledge and passion for wine and gastronomy with DuVine guests.
