Jean-Claude Vrinat
Jean-Claude Vrinat (12 April 1936 – 7 January 2008) was the owner of the Taillevent restaurant founded by his father André Vrinat in Paris.[1] This two star restaurant,[2] named after the court chef to King Charles V in the fourteenth century, has long been considered the epitome of haute cuisine and is also known for its excellent service and its comprehensive wine list.[3] It held three stars from 1973 to 2007.[4][5]
He served as a judge in the Paris Wine Tasting of 1976.[6]
Born in Villeneuve-l'Archevêque near Chablis in Bourgogne, Vrinat was educated by the Oratorians and received his diploma from HEC Paris (l’Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales) in 1959.[7] He joined his father at the Taillevent in 1962 and inherited the restaurant on 3 September 1972.[2] Vrinat branched out into retail wine sales with a shop called Les Caves Taillevent in 1987.[8] He opened a smaller second Parisian restaurant L'Angle du Faubourg in March 2001.[9] Vrinat died of lung cancer at a Parisian hospital on January 7, 2008, at the age of 71.[7][8] His funeral was held at Église de la Madeleine in central Paris. Vrinat was survived by his wife, Sabine, and one daughter.[7]
