Baptiste Gillet-Delrieu

Wine direction at Le Bristol Paris has been built through continuity rather than rotation. Since 2023, Baptiste Gillet-Delrieu has held the post, and that long residence inside the house shows in the way the role is described: less as a title than as a working knowledge of the property’s rooms, service tempo, and standards. The remit covers wine service and wine pairings for the hotel’s three restaurants, so the job sits at the point where cellar decisions have to hold up across multiple dining rooms without losing the identity of each one. The progression through Le Bristol Paris maps a sommelier’s craft as much as a career ladder. Baptiste Gillet-Delrieu began as commis sommelier at Le Bristol Paris, restaurant Épicure in Paris, France, where the work demanded support, precision, and consistency in a room built on detail. He then moved to assistant chef sommelier at Le Bristol Paris, brasserie 114 Faubourg in Paris, France, before becoming Responsable de la sommellerie at the same address. That sequence matters: each step widened responsibility while keeping the work anchored to one house, one service culture, and the discipline of learning a property from the inside.
