Maison Villeroy - Paris
Xavier Thuizat
The enthusiast who makes bottles sparkle
Born at the Hospices de Beaune, Xavier Thuizat grew up with vines in his blood.
From Bernard Loiseau to Peninsula Paris, via Le Meurice and Hôtel de Crillon, he composes wine lists like poems, always on the lookout for new nuggets and young talent.
Crowned Meilleur Sommelier de France and Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 2022, Xavier is always ready to share his knowledge with simplicity and generosity.
At Grappille, he dreams of a place where wine can be shared without fuss, moving away from the great classics to make way for daring winemakers and bottles that tell a story.
Here, we drink for pleasure, with curiosity and without complexes, carried by the infectious enthusiasm of this enthusiast who has never lost his authenticity.
