pairing

The wines you serve tell your story. Let's make it unforgettable.
I craft bespoke wine pairings that embody your brand's identity, elevate your client dinners, and transform every glass into a narrative
all without adding complexity for your team.

About

A sommelier who speaks brand.

Most sommeliers choose wines for the palate. I also choose them for the story they tell about your brand. With a dual background in sommellerie and marketing, I bring something rare to the table: the ability to align every pour with your brand's DNA, your guests' expectations, and the emotional arc of your evening.

For over three years, I've been the trusted wine advisor for a prestigious LVMH house, crafting pairings for high-end client dinners, Fashion Week events, and VIP receptions. My approach goes beyond food pairing. It treats wine as a medium for brand expression.

I hold a WSET Level 2 international certification, and my recommendations are fully independent. My only loyalty is to the coherence of your experience.

Haute Couture Dinner for an LVMH House

Fashion Week
VIC Dinner
Paris
2025

A three-course VIC dinner – 100 guests – during Paris Fashion Week for an iconic luxury house. Each wine was selected not only for its technical pairing with the menu – from truffle artichoke tarte to berries Pavlova – but to mirror the collection's narrative: precision, boldness, and quiet sophistication. The team received a complete storytelling brief, enabling them to narrate each pour seamlessly.

reviews

“We expected good wine. What we got was a story at every dinner, perfectly aligned with our brand. Our clients noticed details we wouldn't have thought of ourselves”

Sophie M., Global VIC Manager, Luxury House

“The brief took five minutes. The recommendation arrived the same day. And the document for our team was so clear we didn't need further indication. Effortless and peace of mind."

Sacha L., Project Manager, Luxury House

“I used to see wine as just wine, as long as the label looks good. He showed me that the right selection reinforces everything we do. And it is frequently cheaper than the restaurant first selection. I won't go back.”

Cécile R., Global Event Manager, Luxury House
