[Tokyo] Notice of Julien Pilon x Chez Olivier Winemaker's Dinner on Friday, October 30th

A special winemaker's dinner will be held at the French restaurant "chez Olivier" in Kudanshita, featuring Julien Pilon, a vigneron from "Domaine Julien Pilon" based in Chavanay, the heart of the Condrieu region in the Northern Rhône.

On this evening, we will pair five Julien Pilon wines—including a magnum bottle—with a special autumn menu created specifically for this occasion by Chef Olivier. It is a one-night-only feast where you can enjoy wines that reflect the terroir of the Northern Rhône while spending time with the producer himself.

Seats are limited, so please book early.

■ About Julien Pilon

Julien Pilon is a producer based in Chavanay, his grandfather Victor's hometown, who manages vineyards across the Northern Rhône, including Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, Croze-Hermitage, and Cornas. He crafted his first wine in the garage where his maternal grandfather once ran a lemonade workshop.

After traveling the world, Julien returned to his roots and chose to make wine in the Northern Rhône. His wines honestly capture the individuality of each varietal, the minerality of the land, and a sense of elegance. Another charm of his wines is that each cuvée name holds memories of his family and travels.
