Yves Camdeborde - Mes vins et vignerons fétiches

My favourite wines and winemakers

All the regulars will tell you, people come here as much for the chef’s mouthwatering food as for the restaurant’s magnificent cellar, one of the best in Paris. With some 600 bottles available with something for everyone (from €20 to €2,000 for a Romanée Conti!), it celebrates the best winemakers in the country.

« Here, I only sell wines that I have tasted and enjoyed, that reflect my food and my tastes, wines from winemakers who share the same philosophy as me. They are humble with a lot of character and personality but also great elegance and unrivalled finesse, unique, singular and irreplaceable, where you can recognised the grape variety. Only the true, pure and original flavour of the wine should express itself in these exceptional bottles ».

Coming from all our regions and representing the diversity of our winemaking culture - there are a few Bordeaux wines but many appellations from our other French vineyards - the vast majority of these wines are made as naturally as possible, often from biodynamic vineyards: « categorically rejecting conventional farming, pesticides and chemicals in the vines and in the winemaking, I try to offer the cleanest wines possible that respect the environment as equally as they respect my customers and their well-being ».
