Back to original languageAbout Raphaël
Specializing in fine wines, particularly from Bordeaux, I leverage my 8 years of experience in sales, event management, and consulting to support wine professionals in enhancing the value of their products.
With a WSET Level 3 diploma, I master the subtleties of terroirs, vintages, and classified growths. My career has led me to work for renowned houses like Duclot, where I managed a demanding clientele (business leaders, premium individuals) while engaging a customer base of 30,000.
I now work as a freelancer for:
🍷 Wine tasting and event management
📞 Personalized consulting and sales to professional or private clients
📋 Creation of educational content and sales materials to enrich the customer experience
Authenticity, rigor, and passion guide my approach to sharing, discovering, and elevating fine wines!
