I'm going to confess that I'm writing this review with a bit of a far fetched long shot ulterior motive.
I came here for my first dinner after landing in Paris from New York and had the five course dinner. Every dish was fantastic, I didn't have a single nit. The whole experience really kicked off my short vacation perfectly. The scallops particularly blew me away and the pumpkin(?) dish has me looking for dishes with a similar taste profile in Paris.
Now, on to wine. I'm going to into a bit of unnecessary detail here in hopes the sommelier may remember me... I had a very brief conversation with her to pick a bottle of wine. The only reason I didn't stick to the pairing was because when I saw the dinner menu, I figured it would be mostly white wines (which the sommelier confirmed) and I'm very picky with white wines (not in the sense that I have an advanced palate, but more so the opposite, I just haven't developed the palate for a wide range of whites). I mentioned that I love Bordeaux, but I understood it couldn't order one as it would overpower half of the dishes, admitted that I'm not great with selecting Burgundy bottles and asked for a recommendation. She recommended a couple of bottles and I agreed with a what I vaguely remember as a 2018 vintage, which she enthusiastically not only described the bottle but also the family run estate. I was slightly concerned it was a bit young, but she assured it was ready to drink. This burgundy was one of the best I've ever had and was priced surprisingly reasonably. I did not take down the name of the bottle... I need to find out what it was.
Again, long shot, but if the sommelier remembers offering a 2018 burgundy to a Korean American couple from new York on November 23, 2022 and happens to remember which bottle this was, I need to know. We were the first table seated, 7:30 reservation.
