Meet Sylvain, the heart and soul behind Select Wine Cellar and Le Champagne. With over 25 years of experience as a professional sommelier, he’s developed an uncanny ability to uncover the stories hidden in each bottle. From boutique French vintners to lesser-known artisanal producers around the globe, Sylvain has devoted his life to curating an exceptional selection of wines that celebrate authenticity, terroir, and passion.

But expertise alone doesn’t define Sylvain. He’s as warm and approachable as the sunny Caribbean island he calls home. Always smiling and eager to share a laugh, he believes that enjoying fine wine and cuisine should never feel intimidating. Thanks to his laid-back charm, everyone quickly feel at ease, discovering new favorites under his friendly guidance without the pressure or pretense.

Sylvain’s commitment to service is as genuine as his sense of humor. He loves helping guests navigate the cellar’s offerings, pairing the perfect glass with a dish or an occasion. His quiet confidence and inviting nature transform every visit—whether it’s a tasting in the cellar or a leisurely lunch at Le Champagne—into a memorable encounter where great wine, good company, and a warm smile are always part of the experience.
