"“A quest for the perfect blend” could be the motto of the luxurious Écrin located in the Hôtel de Crillon. Sommelier Xavier Thuizat and chef Boris Campanella have reversed their roles, overturning the traditional order of precedence in an unheard of, exciting approach: here the choice of wine determines that of the food! Each diner thus enjoys a personalised experience depending on the wines and number of courses selected. The range of combinations is staggering when you think of the 2,500-strong wine bin. This approach also demonstrates the unorthodoxy, technical agility and perfect harmony between the teams. The chef conjures up elegant dishes, overflowing in character which seek to mirror the wine’s bouquet as much as possible. A unique sensory experience in the finest traditions of French art de vivre." - Michelin Inspector
