”A truly breath-taking list composed of mainly classics interspersed with some new discoveries – all of which are shown in an enormous depth of vintages. Including an astonishing selection of matured German Rieslings at different maturity levels, which to me stands for an exciting match with Robuchon’s cuisine. Heavenly!” says jury member, and reigning ASI Best Sommelier of the World, Marc Almert about Robuchon au Dôme’s wine list.
