Private Sommelier Service

A private sommelier service has been launched in London and Hong Kong. Sarment brings together some of the industry's award-winning sommeliers from the world's top restaurants who are individually matched to members with complementary tastes. The tailor-made service is available seven days a week from anywhere in the world.

The idea behind Sarment is based on the relationship between founder, Bertrand Faure Beaulieu and sommelier, Philippe Messy. Ten years ago, the pair met in Marco Pierre White's restaurant, where Philippe Messy was the youngest ever head sommelier of a three Michelin-starred restaurant. Philippe invited Bertrand to broaden his tastes in wine and inspired him to explore new vintages outside of his comfort zone. Bertrand explains, "I had found a sommelier who was not only empathetic and exceptionally talented, but was not afraid to challenge me. He was never patronising; he simply had a passion for sharing great wine." 

Membership to Sarment is by invitation only with no more than 75 memberships to be released globally this year.
