Meet our ami
“To truly reveal the beauty of a wine, you have to drink it - only then does it become part of you. Part of a moment, a place, a shared experience. In that sense, wine carries something the Japanese call mono no aware, an awareness of the beauty in passing moments. Unlike a painting, wine cannot be revisited. Its beauty lies in its fleeting nature, in the way it makes the present feel just a little more meaningful.”
Culinary Legend
With a career rooted in gastronomy, Luc has spent years refining his understanding of wine. Not just as a drink, but as an expression of culture, craft, and place.
A life at the table
For Luc, wine has never stood alone. It belongs at the table alongside food, conversation, and the kind of moments that turn a good bottle into something truly memorable.
Reason to select a wine
Luc looks beyond the label. He selects wines for their balance, their story, and their ability to elevate a dish, guiding you towards bottles that truly come to life when shared.
Luc's favourites
Best bottle you ever tasted?
There is no answer to this question. No bottle, no label, no vintage. Just a moment that turned liquid - a glass hovering somewhere between memory and longing. But if you really want an answer: Château Latour 1961, Pauillac.
Guilty pleasure pairing go to?
Oysters with a proper pedigree combined with a Château Chalon that has absolutely no business being opened yet.
Region/winemaker on your radar?
Yoichi, a small village in Japan's Hokkaido prefecture. An accidental Burgundy with a Japanese soul. The cult winemaker here is Takahiko. His wines carry a quietness and precision that stays with you long after the glass is empty.
