Sommelier Perrine Prieur, who grew up
in her parents’ vineyard in Burgundy,
France, has always found wine to be an
integral part of her life. After leaving
home, she decided to attend a culinary-driven university and study the various
aspects of the restaurant.
After school, she trained under some of France’s most prestigious chefs in world-renowned restaurants, including Jean Marc Reynaud at Tain l’Hermitage, a Michelin 2-star restaurant, Le Souleias in St. Tropez, and at Regis Marcon, a Michelin 3-star restaurant. After honing her French culinary skills, she moved to England and worked for three years as the pastry chef at 4 Rosette in the Wahbourne Court Hotel.
Drawn to food and wine pairing, she then attended a sommelier university in Dijon and accrued several accolades; including winning a Bordeaux wine competition. After her training, she moved to London and worked as a sommelier at Le Gavroche, where she managed over 2000 bottles in the cellar.
Now at JOËL, she works closely with Chef Cyrille Holota to pair the 750-plus wine selection with his spectacular menu items.
The Wine Market offers a large selection from around the globe. All of the wines featured in the Wine Tastings or Dinners are available for purchase. We always stock a generous supply of exclusive wines for connoisseurs, and we are always happy to special order wines.
If you are looking for something in particular, let us know and we will try to find it for you. Don't miss this great opportunity, as few restaurants have a full-time sommelier on staff. For more information, contact Perrine Prieur at sommelier@joelrestaurant.com.
