About

As a passionate spirits columnist, I love delving into the aromas, stories and traditions that shape this refined world, and I invite you to join me on my journey.

What I write about

For many years, I have been exploring the fascinating world of spirits, from timeless classics to bold new creations. My columns cover a variety of topics: product discoveries, tasting notes, technical explanations of barrel ageing, the subtle art of blending, and even delves into the history of certain legendary spirits. My goal is twofold: to inform with accuracy and passion, while offering a fluid and enjoyable read. I favour a tone that is both friendly and accessible, like a discussion among friends over a good drink.

My Background

Trained in literature and marketing, I have always sought to combine these two worlds. My career in digital marketing has allowed me to develop a strategic and creative mind, while writing has always been my refuge and my means of expression. I have published in various magazines over the years, but it is with Gentologie that I have found a space where my writing can fully express itself, reaching a readership that is curious and open to new discoveries.

Ethics and Style


Although I am not a trained journalist, I insist that all information be verified and reliable. I also attach great importance to style: my texts are designed to be clear, lively and engaging, so that every reader wants to read to the end... and raise their glass with a smile.

Why Gentologie


Firstly, because of its publisher, Normand Boulanger, whose work and passion I deeply respect. Secondly, because the magazine gives me complete editorial freedom: I can explore any subject that inspires me, which is a rare and valuable opportunity.
