Maison Villeroy - Paris
Xavier Thuizat
The enthusiast who makes bottles sparkle
Born at the Hospices de Beaune, Xavier Thuizat grew up with wine in his blood.
From Michelin 3-star restaurants to luxury hotels, he composes wine lists like poems, always on the lookout for new gems and young talent.
Crowned Best Sommelier of France and Best Craftsman of France in 2022, Xavier is always ready to share his knowledge with simplicity and generosity.
At Grappille, he dreams of a place where wine is shared without fuss, moving away from the great classics to make way for daring winemakers and bottles that tell a story.
Here, we taste for pleasure, with curiosity and without pretension, carried along by the infectious enthusiasm of this passionate man who has never lost his authenticity.
