Anne was born in Nantes, Brittany, France, and is deeply proud of her Celtic heritage. Her love of wine began on her 10th birthday, when her grandfather poured her a glass of over 100-year-old Château d’Yquem.

After a successful career in major financial institutions, she chose to follow her passion for wine. She learned everything about sparkling wines under the guidance of the great Mike Martin. Anne now works between Montreal, New York, and the Hamptons. While serving as Beverage Director at Gurney’s in Montauk, she discovered French Bloom—a non-alcoholic sparkling wine from France—and became a passionate advocate, bringing it across the West Coast and championing its place in modern beverage programs.

When not working, Anne is either training for marathons, taking long walks with her Cavalier King Charles, Aunis (named after a wine), or attending concerts
