Décio Coutinho
Oenologist , Wine estate in Pessac-Léognan
V.A.E - D.N.O

"Having spent my childhood in the vineyards of Portugal's Douro Valley, I've always dreamt of graduating from Bordeaux's Faculty of Oenology. I was able to make this dream come true thanks to the DNO (Diplôme National d'Oenologue) by VAE (Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience) in continuing education, while continuing my professional activity.
Continuous learning and training have always been part of my professional objectives.
Gradually I became a DUIO in 2013, a DUAD in 2018 and now an Oenologist. This career path has enabled me to develop my know-how and knowledge so that I can take on new professional challenges and ultimately produce the best wine possible."
