Laury Rzepka
WIA Ambassador
France
Laury is from Corsica and had a brilliant career in physiotherapy, then she decided to change her life and join the wine sector. Now she is a sommelière now and it is so much more fun. She started at N5 Wine Bar in Toulouse. After an interlude at Bàcaro her next step brought her to Chile. Sometimes Laury writes tasting notes on her body to share the bottles she loved, like a tattoo when she posts them on her Instagram-feed. She finds them clever & stylistically cool!

Wine has always been part of Laury’s life. Coming from a family of bon vivants, she has always frequented the beautiful tables filled with good products and accompanied by good wines. Passionate at heart, she therefore made the choice to dive back into studies to discover more and more on the subject.
.
According to Laury, it is important that wine be seen as a delicious product, intended to be shared with joy and lightness. And it is in this spirit that Laury, shares on her Instagram account @extra_brut this vision through her latest favorites. Today, Laury continues to train and will soon take the WSET diploma at WISP (Wine & Spirit Campus) in Bordeaux.

Asked which champagne she would treat to her dream guest she said “An explosive, absolute woman, she signed her vibrant paintings with the name Taïga, I used to call her Dady even though she was my grandmother. Upon opening a bottle of Bollinger’s RD 2002 to the sound of Cardi B “I Like It”, she would not hesitate to spray a few drops on me for good luck.”
