Richard Bernard gives you a tour of the Saint-James wine cellar and proposes a selection of wines and Champagnes on sale in the hotel boutique.

Since his arrival in September 2004, the Best Sommelier of France (1997) has been in charge of a cellar with 1,200 positions (in the past there were just 600). He manages the dining room staff and purchases wine for the Group’s three restaurants (Le Saint-James, Le Bistrot Côté Cour and Le Café de l’Espérance).

The wine list of the Saint-James enables you to visit first of all Burgundy, then the Valley of the Rhone, Provence and Corsica, Languedoc, Roussillon, the vineyards of the South-West, Alsace, the Valley of the Loire and finally the Bordeaux vineyards representing 50% of the available selection.

Richard Bernard explains that he decided to journey through French vineyards in this way to allow local guests to discover other regions. A wonderful selection which secured him the accolade of Best Sommelier in 2006 presented by the Gault-Millau magazine.

The Saint James philosophy is about advising you on your choice of wines to enable you to enjoy our sommeliers’ favourites in your own home.

The Saint-James invites lovers of wine or the art of the table to extend the sophisticated pleasures of this setting by perusing its range of products selected by Michel Portos (linen, china, glassware…) and a choice of wines bearing the signature of Richard Bernard, including the renowned Vin du Jardin.
The 600m2 of Merlot, planted in 1989 and inaugurated by the famous sculptor César, produce a Premières Côtes de Bordeaux made in the little cellar, on the edges of the park under the watchful eye of Stéphane Derenoncourt.
